BOLIO1 1,078 Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Our Sabre will let pups share his bones but just try coming over the wall.... is that a mastiff cross?? Rottie, Wxm. ahhh right sorry mate, is he kc or none ped He's K.C. Wxm but not show quality. My neighbour has 5 kids under 10 and they can all walk into our house and get a friendly slobber. Any adult male who hesitates at my gate or steps foot in my driveway however, is met with a bear like roar. That does for me, as It's I who am responsible for the safety of all indoors and not the dog. If I wanted an attack dog I'd have a working Mal but old Sabre is so much easier to live with and such a pleasure to have around. My hard biting dog is now 3 years old..she went to a friends last night were she had never been before sat in his lounge and he gave the 'foot' command she promptly raised her paw and had her nails trimmed he went a little to deep and cut into the quick the only reaction from the dog was to bleed a little on his carpet...attack dog?? Perhaps ppd is a better label..this type of dog has a value in excess of 6k this reflects the 18 months of training and the nature of the breed... I'm not dissing ppd's nor any other types Woz....I just don't need one myself but have always been impressed with the working type Mals for that job. It's a lucky man who can earn his living by engaging in his passion, hat tip! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes iv had a great few years....owning a ppd is a big responsibility and not to entered into lightly they are a day in court and a ten year dog ban waiting to happen..I wouldn't recommend a Mali as a pet but I'm sure the show brigade will see to it that they are ruined......

j1985 1,984 Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 The first Mali I met was at a greyhound trainers yard and at 6 months old it was off its head trying to eat me through the crate it was in!! Whilest his two adult GSD's sat there looking into the distance. Maddest puppy Iv come across, don't think he's gonna have any troubles with intruders there lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BOLIO1 1,078 Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 That sounds like a prime example of someone buying a highly driven working bred dog and then not giving it an outlet for it's drives and instincts. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's why I would never consider one Woz...I dont need one, and don't have the time to allow for the potential to be fulfilled. In other words...."I know my limitations", lol.

Lmao I see your point...we used to work the music festivals and my Mali was a great part of the team.been in some fairly rough situations and she came strong every time....started her on the lamp now and she seems to be taking to it well...terribly hard mouthed so what she retrieves isn't fit for ferret food..she's going to have a greyhound over her to produce some pups..

BOLIO1 1,078 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Sounds promising Woz, a pal of mine has been interested in just such a cross for several years now. Sean has just bought a house with a large garden and he said when he had the room he would seriously consider one if he could source one bred the right way. Do keep us informed please.
