Working bandogs bred to catch man or beast...with a performance based game bred foundation American Sentinel K9, LLC americansentinelk9.com americanbandog.com americanbandoggemastiff.com
I think you are the only person with your background and education who actually does the work most people only talk and give advice but never show what’s possible to everyone so much respect to you Lee and top quality dogs I’m from Ireland hopefully I will be able to get a pup sometime in the future 💯
I had the pleasure to have a great conversation with Lee and he is an extremely knowledgeable person who knows dogs specially working breeds and bloodlines.
The 'book smarts' also generally correlate to good record keeping. Keeping excellent records can not only show you whats works but also what doesn't work. It can keep you honest with yourself and let you know when you need to back up and take a different direction. Thanks for your time and sharing with us.
I swear on everything my philosophy about game bred pits are the same as his. I’ve been talking like this for decades now. Congratulations man I think it’s awesome that you are doing this. 1. You had to work extremely hard to get yourself into a financial situation to do this. 2.) you stayed focused and didn’t cut corners. 3.) you stayed loyal to your dogs and stuck with it for decades if not longer. I see years and years of hard work on his yard tours. I always told my friends that are into these breeds . We don’t need big bandogs but what should be produced is a bigger but balanced game bred pit. That’s the perfect dog
40:17 1000% agree with that statement. It's like comparing a bodybuilder to an mma fighter. Bodybuilder has muscles that looks good, an mma fighter has muscles that are functional in every aspect, cardio, endurance, explosiveness, power, conditioned etc. And a fighter doesn't have sudden impulses of rage 🤣 like gym bros
Saving this video to my favorites list. As a fellow 50 year old and science student returned back to school, combined with the lover of dogs all of this information resonates with my own beliefs.
Thank you for your Wisdom and Knowledge. Just listeneing to you has help me greatly with moving forward with my breeding program. I too want to create a gladiator on the Hog hunt and a family protection and companion when we are not on the hunts... Thank you so much for your encouragement.
Me too. The online dog scene of early 00s, I was there. A lot of people used to hate on Lee, but funny how most of their lines have gone the way of the dodo bird.
Enjoyed everything this man is saying. The culture, the Outlook, strong family values and in today's age you have to be ready to serve but also to protect your loved ones and what a perfect combination and companionship a dog bred like this can bring you. God bless
I really respect your passion and dedication. I got a lot from the video that I can use and I'm not even interested in starting a breeding program. Thank you.
Awesome video!!! Mr Lee, the knowledge you drop on any of your videos is excellent...you never throw your dogs abilities out there, you let them show it. You always back up your reasonings with common sense. That’s so appreciated, keep up the good work!!!!
YOU DELIVER THE MESSAGE VERY WELL!, I GET THE BIG PICTURE. THIS VIDEO IS PROBABLY HOW BREEDERS WHO FIRST BOUGHT ABOUT PITBULLS WHEN THEY HAD WRITTEN PEDIGREES CAME UP WITH SUPERIOR DOGS. ALSO YOU COVERED SOME GREAT POINTS BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE WANT THE DOG SO BAD THAT THEY DONT CONSIDER THE SIZE YARD THEY HAVE. NOW SOMETHING I REALIZED IS TO GO WERE OTHERS HAVE NOT I NEED SOME LAND, THANK YOU!!!!
Good work! The only other person that I know of that has been doing something similar with a catch dog/guard dog but with a different breed is the Spaniard Manuel Curto Gracia from Irema Curto Kennels.
im glad you said that ,, you can recreate a game dog ,, i just lost a presa canario bitch xmass eve , she was only 35 kilo but god she was as tough as nails ,, she got into a few scrapes in her time , but she was ruthless,, she reached 13 years old i bred her myself and i miss her so much ,
we all need foundation dogs to proceed,,, its what we add ,,will bring out the flavour, if that makes sense, i have a xl american bully x dane x english bull x american bull dog ,, he will be put across a pure presa canario next year ,, cant wait to see the results, the presa is very calm and alert ,,, the hybrid is more full on looking for something down the middle ,,, awsome looking dogs,
@@APBT-Bandog This is an off topic question,has anyone in your family been allergic to your dogs or do you know of someone who is and how they dealt with it?
Wondering when you test are they off chain or in keep? If so would like to see how you train compared to a smaller apbt compared to something much bigger dog prone to less wind and heat. Great looking dogs by the way. Loved watching
I enjoyed this video! Very informative and insightful! We have bumped heads in the past over stupid miscommunication but I have to give you Props on your program Lee! God bless!
You do a great job keep up the good work You're very educational he spent a lot of time educating yourself Thank you for all you do Be safe and be careful
i enjoyed this talk a lot. Thank you Lee. Im excited for your programs future. Im 31 and if I live long I hope to own your dogs for the rest of my life!
You seem to know what you're talking about. It looks like you have the street smarts and the science backing you up.I love this Vblog. Very informative. Thank you. RLTW
Saved your page. Been doing alot of research on personal protection dogs that can double as farm dogs a and be ok with the family. What are your thoughts on the Bandogge? I have small children, I have farm animals, I also spend alot of time in the woods alone and in bad neighborhoods due to the nature of my job. I need a real swiss army knife of a dog. I had a Doberman but he wound up to soft for me. He wound up being the kids dog...
Everything you described is no problem except possibly the farm animals. Any dog bred to HUNT game, and even some that are simply bred to ward off predators (despite claims), can be a potential threat to livestock.
Leave a kangal at home and take a bandog as your wingman,livestock guarding breeds are fairly specific with there behaviour they are highly independent........but they sure keep stock and home safe
Hello Lee Really lovely your videos very detailed and it’s great to hear information from a formally educated breeder. I am doing some research and was wondering if you would care to assist. I have put together the following list of characteristics and traits and was wondering what order you would prioritise them when selecting for breeding aiming to produce in your dogs? - Conformation/ structure /appearance. - Health / vigour - Temperament / soundness - Bidability/ trainablity - Determination/ Perseverance - Loyalty - Prey drive - Fight Drive - Defence Drive - Gameness - Pride - Sociability I understand that some of these may overlap however which of the above would you say are primitive traits and which are derived. Your assistance hear would be greatly appreciated. One day in the future I intend to apply this research to my own program once I’ve learned enough to do the working line GSD breed justice. Thanks again inquisitive David AUSTRALIA.
Absolutely fantastic video! Love the longer format, great information and history!! How do I discuss a potential overseas purchase? I've seen on your website you no longer arrange it yourself
@@APBT-Bandog that's not a problem, will have to discuss this further, how do we go about this? Sorry if the time difference have been an inconvience for you
It’s true that books smarts is need but also can give limited set of maths which chose to look for proof of concept . But I completely agree with your main point . I’m neither book or street .basically a moot 😎 point
Good on you fella i like what you selling and you got paper to prove it some breeders are for the dogs form and function and bloodlines some are money driven with no paperwork to back shit
You are saying what i feel about putting the right combo of dogs,keep up the good work,glad you are doing what you are doing,hey this how all dog breeds got here from people like you
I respect alot of what you are saying and doing with your dog's the only thing I would like to know is if gameness is your ultimate goal and I have no doubt that you know what the definition of game is then you know that to call your dog's game you would have to game test them generation after generation
gameness is a goal, but in these days and times hard to test for. When hog hunting, 95% of the time gameness does NOT come into play. But maybe 1 in 20-30 hunts you will see a dog really have to work through some significant stresses...including exhaustion, heat, injury, etc. When it happens, you care for the animal of course and protect it to the best of your ability, but also take note if the dog was willing to remain engaged and scratch back into engagement when removed.
Sorrells APBT is our primary foundation for APBT, and also some Redboy/Jocko/Bolio/Tombstone dogs. The other components include English Mastiff, Neapolitan Mastiff, and Tosa-Inu...but the APBT plays a bigger role than all three of these mastiffs combined.
HOW DO YOU KEEP YOUR DOGS WARM IN WINTER WEATHER ? ALSO HOW MANY HOURS A DAY DO YOU HAVE TO PUT IN WITH FEEDING ,WALKING AND JUST CAREING FOR YOUR DOGS ?
Here is Mississippi, it does not get very cold. Very seldom below freezing, but even so, I have never had a problem even down to zero. We use wood shaving or pine straw when really cold. And of course, we have a few house dogs as well. Never more than 2 at a time though, and always opposite gender.

Have you ever thought of using Tom garners apbt's ? Chinaman line would be a very good pick for you and your program I think it would be a good + to your program what would you think ? N I'm not putting the sorrells dogs down because they 200% bang in dogs just wanted to hear what you think of my suggestion ?
Garner has some good dogs and a friend of mine used one in his line of American Sentinels, and it worked well. That said...choosing wisely is important.
@@APBT-Bandog thank you i appreciate the response. I also have another question do you think a Fila Brasilero is a good mastiff to use in a bandogge program or is that going a little to far on the estate livestock guardian side.

You won’t be disappointed.
That dog is working and engaged in it's job while behind him. Even while laying down the dog is engaged.

Agreed, if goals are not on paper, success will rarely happen.
I wish i could get on TH-cam everday and see someone pour out as much useable knowledge as you do!
Great looking dogs...Keep up the great work! Thanks for sharing the knowledge!
Bandog are dogs that actually started some of the breeds we all know and love. No? Am I wrong.
You nicknamed Shall be "the mad scientist"

Hello Lee
Really lovely your videos very detailed and it’s great to hear information from a formally educated breeder. I am doing some research and was wondering if you would care to assist.
I have put together the following list of characteristics and traits and was wondering what order you would prioritise them when selecting
for breeding aiming to produce in your dogs?
- Conformation/ structure /appearance.
- Health / vigour
- Temperament / soundness
- Bidability/ trainablity
- Determination/ Perseverance
- Loyalty
- Prey drive
- Fight Drive
- Defence Drive
- Gameness
- Pride
- Sociability
I understand that some of these may overlap however which of the above would you say are primitive traits and which are derived. Your assistance hear would be greatly appreciated.
One day in the future I intend to apply this research to my own program once I’ve learned enough to do the working line GSD breed justice.
Thanks again inquisitive David AUSTRALIA.
Absolutely fantastic video! Love the longer format, great information and history!!
How do I discuss a potential overseas purchase? I've seen on your website you no longer arrange it yourself
You would have to come to the US to transport the dog back as carry on, or go through an international shipping agent.
@@APBT-Bandog that's not a problem, will have to discuss this further, how do we go about this? Sorry if the time difference have been an inconvience for you

Talk about something no breeder really wants to talk about......CULLING!
I want a scratch ! lol but I’m sure any would do , I’m sure
Good on you fella i like what you selling and you got paper to prove it some breeders are for the dogs form and function and bloodlines some are money driven with no paperwork to back shit
excelentes perros.......
Haters gonna hate! First time watching your channel and agree about most of what you say and think your doing things appropriately! Good job!
thank you.
I still get throw backs from apbt and amst side every now and then though!
You are saying what i feel about putting the right combo of dogs,keep up the good work,glad you are doing what you are doing,hey this how all dog breeds got here from people like you
I don't understand why people think gameness is a pitbull specific trait.
Because apbt's *captured the gameness trait* the most out of any other K-9 on the face of the earth 🌎 🌍
All I could say is keep scratching, anything is possible.
I respect alot of what you are saying and doing with your dog's the only thing I would like to know is if gameness is your ultimate goal and I have no doubt that you know what the definition of game is then you know that to call your dog's game you would have to game test them generation after generation

Can you take a dog that isn’t game but has other traits you want and still use that in your program(breeding game into it)
Gameness first
What breeds other than the pitbull did u use in your lines cane corso bull mastiff presa or neo what works?
I know he used a little Tosa inu, I forgot the other

Patrick no longer breeds. He only keeps dogs for his own personal desires.
Wat are your thoughts on using scott bulldogs in a bandogge program as a apposed to apbt.
You’re going to give up gameness if you do that, and that’s not something I’m willing to do.
@@APBT-Bandog thank you i appreciate the response. I also have another question do you think a Fila Brasilero is a good mastiff to use in a bandogge program or is that going a little to far on the estate livestock guardian side.
What is your take on American bullies? And have you used any in your program?
LOL, I would bet the Farm on the answer is NO. Zero chance! No offence but that is the dumbest question I have seen in awhile.
No. Gotta stick with dogs from working programs. While some Am Bullies might work, consistency would be destroyed.
Bully's are pets
Do you sell pups?
do they have neopolitan mastiff in them even??
