They were brought to SW Texas in the 1990's to combat the wild boar problem that exists there. They suit these dogs up with Kevlar vests to protect these dogs from the Boar's tusks. They began as a bulldog, bull terrier, and mastif mix...but they were too agressive and did not have a keen sense of smell. They began to add more breeds to the mix in hopes of isolating desirable traits. A pointer gave it a better nose for the hunt. A Great Dane added size, and the mastiff gave it power. However...this dog has a dual contradiction of traits. He is a docile loving dog ...and is especially protective of small cildren. His gentility is because a Boxer was added to the mix.

Actually this dog represents a high-concept design.
