Still incredibly brave cats, lol. But yeah often working dogs of many kinds with experience are content and "have it out of their system" plus know what they are supposed to attack and as a result are chilled with other things. The hardest thing is when you have a dog from "hot" breeding and then have it living a pet life with no outlet for its strong drives, all pent up, that's when things boil over and it just wants to take on the world and kill everything. |

I find it interesting that bullmastiff x wolfhound is often one of the bigger boarhounds, but sometimes they come out really small as well. Even like 35 kgs.  On the other hand I have seen Bully Greys that come out 70 kgs (at least one - wish I could find the pic I had). Many which come out 55 kgs. |

The real one and only English mastiff, what a downfall this breed experienced... I'd say top 2 worst downfalls ever, Neapolitan mastiff still takes the cake for the no 1  |

The real one and only English mastiff, what a downfall this breed experienced... I'd say top 2 worst downfalls ever, Neapolitan mastiff still takes the cake for the no 1 View AttachmentEven that, though a nice enough healthy looking dog, is actually already well and truly far removed from what the English mastiff originally was. Even this was a non-working pet, but closer in form to the ancestral dog and what the english mastiff is actually supposed to be -  All English mastiffs today descend from this dog, and this dog descends directly from the individual dog who defended Sir Piers Legh at the battle of Agincourt in 1415. That act is what motivated Lyme Hall to preserve the lineage, and the English Mastiff was created by that endeavour. This painting is what a "ruined pet" English mastiff SHOULD look like, what they have become? I don't even know what that is supposed to be. But it is a very pointless animal. I can tell from this animal with the children that it is a retired boarhound, similar to the great dane. That is what the english mastiff was supposed to be. Here is the equivalent "iconic grandfather" of the bullmastiff breed-  Thorneywood Terror, one of the last gameskeeper's night dogs, and the foundation for the Bullmastiff breed. He was notorious for being freakishly gigantic at 100 lbs. The iconic grandfather of the Dogue De Bordeaux-  Champion of the Pyrenees, Caporal. Also famous for being a gigantic freak at 105 lbs. Basically these mastiff breeds we have now are really all bullshit, except for perhaps the Alano Espanol. The key difference there is the traditional work survived. Most of the others are fabricated mutants that "pay homage" to a historical lineage/application of working dogs that sadly died out. |
