i dont think the bitch is a pure as pure neopolitan. it may be crossed way back with some old bulldog line around there, i dont know. i think it is a working dog, because i know what they expect from there dogs around farms especially in dense wet heat and with what food the people can afford to give as a staple. i know just where hes coming from with his explanation of the bitch, but i dont think it is a monster beast of a dog. those kinds of dogs are high maintainance.
