From about 5 months old she would naturally gaurd. She's perfect around the kids, spaniel and stock. Shes 26tts and about 110lbs so looks the part; when the missus walks her she will always put herself between her and strangers until shes told 'off or walk on' and then will do so. If we're at beach/ up the woods and the kids wonder off to play she will follow them whilst keeping an eye on us aswell. Not a dog I wanted or would choose but she certainly fits the bill. Oh and super easy going; will happy go on a few mile run or lay about the house all day. Was a doddle to train aswell Looks like a bull mastiff/English mastiff or rather I don't see corso Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So she's half corso, quarter dane, eighth ddb and eighth bull mastiff. She's basically a big mongrel mastiff and from what we've seen and read she has a lot of the 'personality traits' of the corso. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Easy money and who can actually blame them as bad as that sounds. Under this current financial climate it’s hard for youngsters to get ahead of themselves in life’s. Even people who make a decent wage aren’t even living as comfortable as they used too never mind being in a basic lower paid job and trying to make something of yourself it’s getting harder and harder for the normal working man to make anything of himself. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When I get five minutes I want to look at the stats more closely. Over the last month hiluxs have been getting nicked almost twice weekly. On the local police FB pages last week alone they had several gangs in the nearby towns apprehended by police dogs at the scene of burglaries. At least one incident both burglars were armed with knives. CSI came over yesterday, found nothing and said it had all the hallmarks of professional opportunists. Noteworthy though was that the PCs on the scene and the CSI both assumed my baseball bat was left by the burglars. Seems to be completely normal that they arm themselves now? Anyway, apparently the MO now is smash and grab for gold and anything else small but high value. They don’t care for electronic goods really. They don’t even care to be quiet as they don’t intend to be there long enough to get caught. Back to the dog situation. I’m not going to rush into anything right now. I’ve half fancied a shepherd for some time anyway but tbh I wanted a break from more dogs for a while and with the general consensus being that it’s probably not the solution I thought it might be I need to focus on other avenues. I appreciate everyone’s comments though. Flash bangs mate proper shits them up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
