\u201cJudging solely by appearances, bull dogs are spoiling for a fight, while hound dogs are praying for\u00a0absolution.\u201d<\/p><\/div>Yesterday at the dog park, Cleo and I met a Boerboel<\/a> \u2013 a South African Mastiff. A gorgeous animal, five months old and huge. She’s going to be 150lbs, and the males get to 180.<\/p>\n

Her person is a physician at Boswell Hospital, and he has grand Boerboel plans: He has land out in the sticks, and his goal is Boerboels abounding, with his breeding operation documented by a YouTube page. I enjoyed talking to him, not alone because he is operating from the premise that there will be a future.<\/p>\n

My belief, defended solely by historical anecdotes and prejudice, is that all domestic dogs emerge from two prototypical breeds \u2013 Saint Hubert Hounds \u2013 Bloodhounds \u2013 and Mastiffs. Snouted dogs run down their prey where flat-faced dogs fight like big cats \u2013 well-timed leaps followed by close combat. Mastiffs pulled war wagons, and if you doubt that, put Cleo \u2013 twenty pounds of Mastiff-descendant \u2013 on a lead and see where she drags you.<\/p>\n

She was intimidated by the Boerboel, who was in her turn intimidated by Miss Chioux. But later she demonstrated what that Mastiff form-factor can do: She ran down a Standard Poodle who started with a fifty-yard advantage. Cleo is fast, and people notice when she floors it. The Poodle didn’t know she was caught until Cleo raced past her.<\/p>\n

And then, as every flat-faced dog must do, she panted for half-an-hour. As always, I had to carry her out of the dog park…<\/p>\n
