They're big dogs. They're ultra bright and love to play. Most people buy them and don't know what's involved with having a large protective dog in the house. Its a big responsibility.

Sad how fucked up people are and toss dogs out like they mean nothing.

Tell me about it. I havew talked quite a few people OUT of getting a mastiff. They see mine and want one, he's a favorite at the local dog park. The one's that are seroius I have a LONG talk with about size, what the eat, how they snore/fart DROOL and require almost constant attention. Plus they need some room. Ours have thier own bedroom, but usually sleep at the foot of the bed. But, you have to give them and area thats theirs, someplace safe they can go to "get away" from the other dogs or to just relax when they are tired. These are not dogs you can just leave alone all day. I have found Mastiff recuses and it's the same stupid shit excuse all the time... (Same excuse I here from Dane rescues) "I didn't know the dog would get so big...) God I want ot slap people sometimes. ITS A MASTIFF what do you think that name means. Mine takes shits that wiegh more than most peoples entire dog! LOL!. People need to understand what they are getting into and not just buy a puppy cause it so cute.... Our dogs are part of our family and treated as such. My wife got attacked at a local park by a pit about 2 years ago and her dog fought it off, getting 24 stitches across his snout and a piece of his ear torn off. But protected her. SHe got attacked trying to save a little girl who the pitt went after first and stepped between the pit and the child. The damn pit got away before anyone caught it so god knows what happened to it but around here it would have been put down. The owner of the dog was never locaed either. But, it's an example of how her pet returned the favor of her saving him.
