Meet
Sergeant
Jiggs of Laura
Hello Lynn,
I don't know if you remember me, but I've bought two bulldogs
from Laura Kennesls,
Sergeant Jiggs of Laura and Dixie Dear of Laura. You have one
of them posted on your website, on the "comparison" page, Sarge.
Sarge is out of Eli and Misty and is just the strongest,
fastest, and most intelligent dog I've ever had or know of. I
would like to relate a story that just happened concerning our
bulldogs.
We moved from central Florida to central West Virginia about
four years ago. Sarge loves it because there are woods
everywhere here (no hogs, though). A few nights ago, I heard the
puppy (out of Sarge and Dixie: Wells Beargirl of Laura) yapping
outside and went to investigate. I shined my flashlight over to
where I heard something, and to my amazement saw Sarge with his
jaws around the neck of a coyote on the ground. The fight did
not last long and was extremely one-sided. The coyote never had
a chance. Coyotes are plentiful in West Virginia and are twice
the size of their western counter-parts due to cross-breeding
with wolves and dogs. A forty pound plus coyote is considered
large and are becoming common in WV, and the one Sarge got was
well over forty pounds.
We are speculating that the coyote was probably attracted by the
large number of deer being cut up next door (which Dixie helps
herself to the leftovers that she then brings home) and came
across the pup. Dixie probably stood the coyote off, while Sarge
proceeded to bust through a 12.5 gauge field fence which makes
up his pen.
Not only that, but the coyote only got about fifteen yards away
from the pen before Sarge caught him and took him down.
I've never heard, at least around here, of a dog taking down a
coyote. Its always the other way around.
Amazing, but true!
Our bulldog family is unbelievable! I attached photos of Sarge,
Dixie, Beargirl, and the coyote.
P.S. Note the pup, she is big-boned with an awesome head, we're
keeping her!
Regards,
William V. Wells
Thanks for posting Sarge's
story. I hope people will enjoy it. I hope too that people not
familiar with the AB who might read the story, understand that
even though ABs are an extremely powerful dog, they are not
innately aggressive or unstable. Even though Sarge loves the
"wild", and has killed snakes, possums, (and now a coyote),
caught wild hogs... he lets his bulldog pup eat out of his bowl.
Our vet is amazed that Sarge cohabits with a female and now a
puppy. Dixie (the female) can't be without Sarge and they all
sleep together. Funny, huh?
