In my experience theyve always been laid back, fit in well with my theory (appplied to my rottie x too) that theyre tough dogs but enjoy life so theres no need to throw their weight around ...............unless invited
Owned at lest one most of my life. First one was a stout white lump who was about 4 months older than me, kept his eye on me from the day I arrived :lol:lol:lol He was from the Rellim line which were ex fighters going back years (I detest dog fighting), he was so chilled it was unbelivable.
The one thing I have noticed is the changes in "acceptable" size. They used to be much taller and proportionally as stocky but sort of seemed to became titchy during the 80s.
I had a red during the 80s who was what I would have desc as standard old fashioned size but he was head and shoulders above the going rate :nenau
Makes no odds to me at the end of the day though I dont show or breed em, just want a good well behaved dawg :thumbs
Just on the subject of not throwing their weight around hows this for a stupid owner.
Woman on beach walking 5 dogs who were behaving as a frenzied pack. One of them, a husky goes up behind my staffie, jumps on him from behind and nips his neck. Woman runs up saying, "oh dont worry thats how he plays" ******* idiot, thats how dogs attack!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
what she didnt see was him turn, snap his jaws which sounded like a loud handclap and fortunately only get a mouthful of husky neck hair.
Husky legged it, he went off with his kong on a rope no need for follow up :lol:lol
Question is, was I right balling her out and explaining about dogs under control public place when she said her dog hadnt done anything wrong
:augie
