    How can a dog NOT show prey drive? I think people are just impatient as hell and they want everything yesterday without putting in time and work in developing the dog.

    Well I have seen dogs that don't, not the breeds we enjoy but yes there are dogs out there with ZERO interest in chasing anything, they can even have no food drive. Useless in my eyes but it happens.

    Okay let me rephrase that... an APBT with NO prey drive? How can an APBT NOT have prey drive? UGH. I hope NEVER to own such a dog.

    With the direction our breed of choice is heading, this may very well happen in the near future.

    When I said prey I was trying not to go into specifics, but I guess some did not get it. We are talking bulldogs here so I figured you would know what their prey was. I apologize for being abstract and obtuse.

    Um, Like I said before how can they NOT. Every one that I've ever seen (with the exception of the byb ones) have ALL had prey drive to some extent.... and yes we are talking about the same thing magnoila

    Ok, I get it now, after 4 years and no 'prey' drive I'd be concerned too but it happens...With pups obviously a different story and waiting game for sure.

    I only say four because I don't like odd numbers, and I've heard of some not having any until a little after three so I'll round up.

    Well count yourself lucky. A bunch of dogmen have had cold dogs. Some very reputable lines are known for putting out a cold one or two. I do not see any difference between no drive and a little drive. Both are just as useless. What is the difference between a thirty minute cur and a cold dog? Thirty minutes.

    Tudor's Dibo for one didn't have it till a lil over four. It all depends on the dog, though in my experience, 2 1/2-3 years of age they should start the fire. I don't expect pups to show and I give pups time to develop. Let's not forget that a 23 month old dog is still a pup. Anything under 24 months is a pup.

    If you do not believe me read the mt. man post in the history section. I guess you deal with better dogs than homer, zebo and so on. If so malzatof!

    I belive you might be just a little impatient is what I belive.

    I have to agree on this one. IMO a dog that stays cold it's whole life is worse than a 30 min cur. Seriously, a straight cold dog is useless and I know they've been bred and produced and so have curs but they shouldn't be. Not worthy.

    Depends on the situation , I‘ve never seen a PB not to have pray drive some that have it then see RED you can’t stop it , Some have it and look towards you if it’s ok to go for it.

    every person has their own practice but for me 3 years. Im not tryin to wait on a miracle that most likely isnt goin to happen. If u wait forever you will have 100 dogs in no time.
    And i agree, get a room you 2 ;)
