There were a few other incidents too. The town they lived in threatened many times to have him put down. luckily they live way out near nowhere. so he didnt see people often. If you put him in the car and go into town, it's an adventure, he would just stand in the back window, snarling at everything, and the real fucked up part is, no one has any idea why, but he really hated puerto ricans, if he saw one, the snarling/barking would get 10x as bad, he'd start trying to go thru the car window, clawing at the door. i guess he was racist.

On the plus side, they are smart as hell, loyal as hell, and would destroy anything they saw as a threat to his owner(s)(people he knew as a puppy)

If you get one you better be damn sure you can keep it for it's entire life cause I dont think they can be adopted by someone else if they become 'incovenient'. Seems like they just dont adapt to people unless they were there when the dog was young. This one was around my daughter from the time my kid was born till the time the dog died when my daughter was seven and you could tell he saw her as a threat. never got used to her, and my kid never actually got close enough to pet the dog. He'd allow her in the house, but was not happy about it.

oh and they shed like a motherfucker, fucking dog hair everywhere
