Title: Your favorite dog breed
Post by: CHOW CHOW on June 20, 2008, 04:51:09 PM

Neapolitan Mastiff is my dream dog.  I'm absolutely infatuated with the "Neo".  I actually visit and post at a forum for this breed.  They're an ancient Italian breed (Mastino Napoletano) that's one fo the most unique in existence today.  They were on the verge of dying out until people in Naples decided to save the breed hundreds of years ago and carefully bred them for their survival.  They're a wonderful guard dog and extremely loyal, bu t at the same time, have a gentle and affectionate personality.  "The Gentle Giant" is a term that's used often.  The Neapolitan Mastiff is notable for their incredibly wrinkly skin and face.  The expression on their face makes them look sad and depressed but they're so lovable and affectionate.  They look like a giant Shar Pei.  Easily one of the most unique looking breeds in existence.  The only downside to the breed is their short lifespans, which is a problem with all giant breeds.  They live on average about 8 years, meaning 6 on the low end and 10 on the high end.  They have heart problems due to their huge size (175+ lbs for a male).  They also snore very loudly and drool a lot, but most owners find these things endearing and part of their charm.  The first thing I do when I eventually own my own home is get a Neo.  Some don't like their look but those people are simply tasteless and can't appreciate a masterpiece of creation like the Mastini.

Mastini are high maintenance.  They require strict diets and lots of love and affection.  They hate to be 'left out'.  For example, left outside when the family is eating dinner.  They want more than anything to be a part of your family.  As for the diet, the best type of diet for them (and all dogs) is a BARF diet, which is raw meat and bones.  This can get expensive.  Then there's also the added expense of veterinary care due to their massive size.

AWWWWW so cute.  But they're not good around cats/small children/small dogs so we can't get one, we'll prob end up getting a black lab or german shepard though.  Shepards and Labs are awesome.

If you wanna hear how loud their snoring gets, watch this:

You'd think that it gets annoying or just unbearable but most owners of these dogs find it endearing.

hmm well I like labs, they are cool, we had a golden retriever/lab mix a while back
I kinda want a chocolate Labrador or something eventually

but right now I'm going with rottweilers, they amuse me. Funniest dogs ever

We had a german rott, which looks more like one would call a rottweiler, when it comes to build, short and a big head, and we also have an American rottweiler which is much taller and has a less blockier head on him.

actually took a picture of him today coincidentally:

i've got a daschund and they are awesome dogs.  they're generally laid back, but they love to search everywhere (i've heard that if you have two, they like to hide things from each other).  they're jealous, though, they don't like kids, and they get lots of back problems, but otherwise they're great!

my aunt has had a lot of pug dogs, and they'd rank second for me.  their goofy faces match their spastic personailities.  watching a hyper pug = pure joy

We've got a French Bulldog named Gary.  Good little guy.  Never had a French Bulldog before but if they're all like Gary then that breed is alright with me.

But I'll tell you one breed of dog that fucking creeps me out - Irish Wolfhound.  Screw these dogs.  My girlfriend and I bought a horse last year (ugh) and we stable it at this ranch out of town that has some wolfhounds as guard dogs.  These fucking things are big enough to put a sadle on and they all look shitballs insane ready to bite your head off at a moments notice.  Why anyone would want to own one as a pet is beyond me but evidently there are people that are off their meds and went dog shopping....

Irish wolfhounds are really nice generally speaking.  My step-mom does interior decorating/remodeling junk and I helped her out one week last year before I escaped to the beach and the people she was working for had two of them, they were super sweet dogs.  They ARE huge as fuck, tho.  That means they only live to be about 8, 10 max due to heart conditions.

Hitler you have horses as well?  expensive fuckers.

One horse and it wasn't my idea either.  I don't even like 'em but we went horseback riding in Montana a few years back and Angie kinda got it stuck in her head about owning one so we finally broke down and got one last year.  The thing is a fucker too.  Bites me everytime I go over to visit it so Angie is more or less in charge of horse maintenence.  As far as I'm concerned it's just a $450 a month stable fee for an animal I don't have to see.

Gas gets anymore expenisive though and I'm riding that damn thing to work.  Fuck everyone on I-5.  Bitey the horse is comin'.

This is my one and only concern with getting a dog.  I just know I'll be completely devastated when my Mastini passes.  They have such short lives...anywhere from 5-8 years, usually on the lower end of that scale (5-6 years).  They also become incredibly attached to you...following you around everywhere, really becoming a part of you.  They're unlike any other breed out there.  I would just be annihilated for months on end.  You wouldn't think this but I got a really big heart, man.

Friend of mine owned a couple of Akitas.  I found them to be very friendly dogs, though their personalities were a little crazy.

Shibas are notoriously hard to train, and kind of independent.  I've been to the house of a former student of mine who owns them and they mostly ignore me.  Seems they're one-person dogs.  I kind of want one myself...they're like smaller Akitas in a lot of ways (hard to train, physical appearance).

Title: Re: Your favorite dog breed

Not every dog has to look like a Corgi (or whatever other cutesy shit 20 pound dog you ambiguously gay motherfuckers are into) to look beautiful.

The Mastini's look is so over-the-top that it actually makes him beautiful.  This isn't some high-brow concept, here.

Title: Re: Your favorite dog breed
Post by: Ichirou on January 02, 2010, 12:30:14 PM

You'd probably have to spend like an hour cleaning the wrinkles in their fur every day so they don't develop sores.  That's what you have to do with sharpeis, anyway.

No thanks.

Title: Re: Your favorite dog breed
Post by: CHOW CHOW on January 02, 2010, 12:34:17 PM

Not an hour, but you do have to clean between their wrinkles daily.  Apparently, baby wipes work great...probably a 5 minute job.

Title: Re: Your favorite dog breed
Post by: Ichirou on January 02, 2010, 12:37:07 PM

Other problem is they're so big...they probably require tons of exercise, and a lot of space.  I have a couple of medium-sized dogs (shetland sheepdog and a spitz) and they're great 'cuz you take them out on a walk for an hour or play fetch with them in the park for a bit, and they're good.

For my lifestyle, I need a dog that can fit into a small apartment, though I've always wondered what it would be like to have a big dog like a golden retriever or a german shepherd.

Title: Re: Your favorite dog breed
Post by: CHOW CHOW on January 02, 2010, 12:41:50 PM

Actually, they require very little exercise...no more than a 20 minute walk per day, if that.  English Mastiffs require even less.  It's weird, I know...

Title: Re: Your favorite dog breed
Post by: Ichirou on January 02, 2010, 12:46:35 PM

I looked the breed up on wiki and it seems they're extremely aggressive with strangers if not well-trained.  Definitely not a breed I'd ever get for myself.

Are you planning on buying one?

Title: Re: Your favorite dog breed
Post by: CHOW CHOW on January 02, 2010, 12:55:16 PM

They're very protective and loyal to you, but if you socialize them to be comfortable around strangers while they're a pup, the aggression won't be an issue.  This is the case with many breeds.  It's all about socialization at an early age.

Yes, as soon as I own a home with a nice backyard, I'll get my Mastino.  I plan on keeping them for my entire life.  Their personalities are incredibly unique and the experience of owning a Neapolitan is unlike any other breed.

What breed do you plan on keeping?

Title: Re: Your favorite dog breed
Post by: Ichirou on January 02, 2010, 01:00:53 PM

I've always been a fan of Shetland sheepdogs, since we've owned two in our house.  I know it's kind of a girly dog to own (like a miniature Lassie), but they're really intelligent, loyal, and obedient.  The one we have in our house now is ten years old and she knows literally dozens of commands.

I considered getting a shiba inu at one point but decided against it for various reasons.  If I don't get another shetland sheepdog, I want a beagle.

This is a beautiful dog:

Shetland sheepdogs are in the top 5 percentile when it comes to intelligence tests, and they can learn commands on the very first try.

I grew up with an assortment of dogs: beagle, black lab, rottie.

I loved all three. My favorite was the black lab, though. He was given to me as a puppy for my 8th birthday. He'd follow me everywhere and we formed a bond. I loved that fucking dog and he ended up getting heart worms.   :'( I didn't even have him for a year. He was still a pup when he passed.

I haven't had a pet since 2003 when my rottie passed.

If I were to get a dog I don't know what breed I'd go with because I love so many types of dogs. Ideally, I'd go with a puppy so I can bond with him/her as he/she gets older, but I'd take an adult too. Just wanna share the love.

I plan on getting a puppy and a kitten, actually. At the same time. So they can friends while I'm out. So it'd be best to get a small dog, not something that can crush the cat I've been looking at corgi's and while I'd love a beagle, they are too noisy for apartment living.
