There;s a bullmastiff in the woods were I walk my dog, must be about 5/6 years old, walks around like an old dog. It must be about 30" tall and it has hocks that are about the same size as my staff cross's and she comes up to my knees. I was talking to a douge de Bordeaux breeder, telling him how my mates douge died at 7 and he said that was a good age - bloody hell!
I think the only future for these big guarding breeds lies in crosses ie bandogs, it's the only type i'd get. There's a fella I see near me with a mastiff x presa, lovelly dog, fit agile, no slobber, great guard, would put any kc
