[quote=LeeRobinson] The ones we tested were better specimens physically than the extreme typiness ones, but they really were not CC/bandogge dogs. Perhaps a few, but very few. The majority truely were pure Neapolitans. I am certain of it. Some good, some not so good. Some well bred, some not so well bred. Some CC crosses perhaps, but not all of them. By the time I made my edit...and what do you know. You already replied. LOL. Oh well. I tried. After viewing your post, I considered going back to put it back the way it is written in your reply...but na...I will leave it as is as the way it is now is really a better discription of what I was trying to say. (For the record, I also want to state that Natimastio did NOT change my words...my original post was exactly as she quoted me). It really just comes down to this. We did test Neapolitans. Several. Not hundreds, but dozens. I have seen potential, but I have found good EM to offer more for my needs. I am however always willing to work some more Neapolitans and IF you know of someone producing quality examples...by all means let me know. I can be opinionated, but I am also open minded. I may be hard to convence by words on a messageboard...but show me the dogs working...and I will accept it.[/quote] LMAO Lee, you called me SHE?? Dude Im a dude and a big and manly one at that. Lee I dont think you know what a 'pure' Mastino is at all. Why are you certain of it that some where pure? Not many people have any idea. Put it this way; when you refer to the American Pitbull Terrier/southern pitbulldogge what dogs come to mind as being a 'pure', true to the core essence of the breed?? Hmmm... maybe Plumbers Alligator, Chinaman, or perhaps the Sorrel dogs you are fond of. You're not expecting me to believe your buddy had real, unadulterated, old world Italian blood mastiffs on his hands in Mississippi?? (A state which I love, BTW)
