leegreen 2,222 Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 Got my old Mali on his last legs. I'll be looking for a replacement soon, not sure whether to got down the Herder route or back down the Mastiff route. Anybody know of anything decent coming up? There will be Herders around for me to choose, but I'm not sure I have the patience and time they need. I don't know of any good Mastiff types and the Misses cant be dealing with dog aggression. Hence my leaning back to the Herder types, may be someone can prove me otherwise. I'd take a good Lurcher that would be guaranteed to bite. My 10 year old Bull/Mali bitch is too old to take a pup from, but I would love something similar. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
low plains drifter 10,958 Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 This Boerboel dog looks impressive, a lad that owned an English mastiff used to come coursing with me 30 year ago, his big dog used to cover a good few mile, I was surprised for such a big dog, but these boerboels look more athletic Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What makes yo concerned about dog aggression from a mastiff type.Never had any problems that way with any of mine.In fact dogs can take all sorts of liberties with my old bandog bitch I have here.Ive never once seen show any aggression. Do you know Uncle Earl?I think he may still have a couple of pups there off Rodney's breeding.Presa/herders 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My brother has one and it is a liability. Good guard dog, but that's about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So probably not the correct description, but they dont mind a fight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've just spoken to him and he said there is still a bitch pup that he's put with a friend just to get it out and about socialising and to split it up from the one he's keeping for a bit.

Good to know. My old Mali will be around for a while and his daughter is only 10. So I can wait for a while. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
