One of our most dog savvy members made a very thought provoking post "Changed my mind, there is no such thing as Mastiff". Tony's very powerful post prompted me to take a snippet and post it here to generate some discussion.
@tony @tonedog #Mastiff #Neapolitan.
Here goes... quote from Tony.
"Neapolitan mastiff - Bulldog. The neapolitan mastiff and cane corso were assuredly one in the same dog before the early 1900s, and this dog was simply italy's answer to the alano espanol. A bull catching dog. It likely was rarely 100 lbs, usually less. Even in the usa in the 1970s the italian immigrants in new york still called them bulldogs. "

@Kevin and Debby Nicholson thanks for sharing this. The wolves don't seem afraid as the one on the ground xontinue eating and the others are trying.
Would be a different story if that male #Tibetan #Mastiff had help from other #lgd.
@Ricky B Buffalo that is an impressive #mastiff. Great protector for your boy. Thanks for posting these photos. On #molosserdogs we love seeing our members dogs and discussing temperament and function. Welcome here.
