body. I believed they were bred by aristocracy to chase down game? One source says from Germany in the 1500's, a cross from Mastiffs and Wolfhounds, later a little Greyhound thrown in. They can really run faster than 50 mph.

I had a Honda SL70 small motorcycle. A friend and I were riding on it and playing with an old innertube. My buddy was slapping it around the dog. A little bit later he had it around his waist. He started screaming at me to GO! Seems he made eye contact and he and the dog were thinking the same thing. WFO in 4th gear was close to 55 mph. The dog caught us, grabbed the innertube around his waist and threw on the brakes. Alan was unceremoniously snatched from the pillion position at top speed to roll in a plume of pasture dust and big dog. He was really skinned up. I don't think he ever did anything close to that again. lol Come to think of it that was the last time he visited our farm.
