Isnt that what masstives were for too? I think i remember reading about them bonding to the princes incase of big wars. The dogs were bonded and didnt need any training, theyd just protect the kids till the end

A lot of mastiffs were - dunno if all made good "guardian breeds", I know Neopolitan Mastiffs will protect without hesitation and training, they were also a "nanny" dog in Italy.

Good dog also if you like big ones that sneak up within range, rather than bark...lol

there was this guy i met a few times. He trained dogs for a living after he retired from the israeli army as a dog handler and trainer. One time he had this masssive blue neo mastive he had attack and protection trained for this guy that couldnt pay in the end. He wanted to trade him to me, was honestly the most intimidating dog i ever met. My dog ellie is just under 60 kg but this dog i think would have to be close to 100. He was a scary guy and trained them dogs to do bad things if they needed too. Kinda dog you'd have if you were a some kind of drug baron and had to kill james bond every now and then.

Todays episode of Sesame Street is brought to you by the Genus Callitris.

Callitris oblonga - South Esk Pine

The orange hue is from the covering in male cones. Female cones get held tight, should get some seed of these for the interested.

Listed Vulnerable Species in Tas, endemic to oz

Basically its habitat is getting smashed, its also not so keen on repeated fires.

jack jumper ants reminded me its spring today...lol....bitey bastards.

"....which can lead to death on rare occasions. Between 1980 and 2000, there were four deaths due to anaphylaxis from jack jumper stings, all of which were in Tasmania"

".The ant has also been a major cause of anaphylaxis outside Tasmania, notably around Adelaide and the outskirts of Melbourne, while cases in New South Wales and Western Australia have been more distributed" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_jumper_ant

lol...welcome to Australia

I remember those fuckers from when I was down there... They were my first real experience with Australia's dangerous flora and fauna. Bastards.

Amazing photos and info as usual, wb.

I used to wage war against those big red ones when I was a lad. We would try to blow up their nests, but they were hard to get close to. They would have sentries posted on branches around the nest and they would hit you from the ground and from above at the same time. I have the utmost respect for them, they're not to be messed with.

its an ear cropped attack rabbit , that scratch on my arm is from that one :lol:

Tis the little mans lop ear rabbit, its doing well. That said its basically my pet, I should eat it....lol.

(Should I eat "Billy" the rabbit?)

I'll plant out a few vegie seedlings today and start a few seeds off today.

Still thinking of starting a BF Pumpkin Amz, the bed is good to go and fed during winter.

Dunno may just use the space for some nice eating/keepin pumpkins or maybe mini rockmelons.

About my danger period now, "feel" competent to do stuff, but if I push it I'll know I am not....lol

Physical healings great, mental healing...well thought I'd have been more advanced by now.

More garden therapy :wink:
