Doesn't matter if you dog isn't a purebred. What matters is does he poesess enough drive to do the work. You say he has prey drive, so that is the beginning foundation. Defensive drive can be tested as he begins to mature and can handle the stress. I personally started all of my dogs on leather rags before I moved on to tugs and balls. You might be a little ahead of yourself with the drive, focus & grip video. You really should get the video bite training for puppies. There is a lot of really useful information in that video. The ohter thing to consider is if you start to get serious with your training you should find a good trainer or a club to help you. If your lucky and get in a good club you'll learn a lot from people that have experience. Again, just my 2 cents.
I see there's a club in Maine, but it's a three hour drive for me...I've done worse though. I wonder if there's a club that's closer, maybe here in Mass...I'll have to do some legwork.
I'll look at getting my hands on that other video too. thanks.
