Wow, he looks awesome! I want one. What are they like as a breed?
It's quite difficult to explain.He's our first mastiff, but there are a couple of things that stand out. Firstly he never "nipped" as puppy - i.e. he never mouthed hands or feet. Also he has NEVER pulled on the lead. With no training. It's as if he knows if he did these things then the human is finished!
We have done barely no training and he has instant recall. It's really strange, as he is not even food driven. I think it is because he just loves people - he is the only dog I have ever had that I would walk through a field of sheep in total confidence off the lead.
(I have had a lot of dogs over my life and never known this.)
He is very very attached to my wife in particular, but all the family, So if you ever need to lock him in his little room then it's like a personal affront. He is quite vocal. Doesn't bark so often but it's basso profundo when he does.
Me and my wife work form home a lot and there are always people around the house and stables - I really don't think it's breed that you could leave at home for any length of time at all.
He is 70KG at the moment and we keep him very lean as he is still young. His brother is owned by friends of ours. He was once left in a vet's recovery room for a while and destroyed it to such an extent that the vet has threatened to sue to owners!
I can see a very strong guarding instinct in him, but the breed isn't remotely "bitey", viscous or highly strung.
They are hard work as they drool and make a mess. s
ts like an elephant. I will never forget the night i had to spend with him when he had the sts. It was like chester zoo.Overall a lovely breed BUT you need space and a lot of time. And he eats shed loads of food, so is quite expensive.
