El Presidente Hillbillios Posted September 20, 2015 Isnt that what masstives were for too? I think i remember reading about them bonding to the princes incase of big wars. The dogs were bonded and didnt need any training, theyd just protect the kids till the end 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waterboy 2.0 Posted September 20, 2015 A lot of mastiffs were - dunno if all made good "guardian breeds", I know Neopolitan Mastiffs will protect without hesitation and training, they were also a "nanny" dog in Italy. Good dog also if you like big ones that sneak up within range, rather than bark...lol 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
El Presidente Hillbillios Posted September 20, 2015 there was this guy i met a few times. He trained dogs for a living after he retired from the israeli army as a dog handler and trainer. One time he had this masssive blue neo mastive he had attack and protection trained for this guy that couldnt pay in the end. He wanted to trade him to me, was honestly the most intimidating dog i ever met. My dog ellie is just under 60 kg but this dog i think would have to be close to 100. He was a scary guy and trained them dogs to do bad things if they needed too. Kinda dog you'd have if you were a some kind of drug baron and had to kill james bond every now and then. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Strontium Dawg Posted September 21, 2015 I used to wage war against those big red ones when I was a lad. We would try to blow up their nests, but they were hard to get close to. They would have sentries posted on branches around the nest and they would hit you from the ground and from above at the same time. I have the utmost respect for them, they're not to be messed with. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

waterboy 2.0 Posted September 23, 2015 (edited) its an ear cropped attack rabbit , that scratch on my arm is from that one Tis the little mans lop ear rabbit, its doing well. That said its basically my pet, I should eat it....lol. (Should I eat "Billy" the rabbit?) I'll plant out a few vegie seedlings today and start a few seeds off today. Still thinking of starting a BF Pumpkin Amz, the bed is good to go and fed during winter. Dunno may just use the space for some nice eating/keepin pumpkins or maybe mini rockmelons. About my danger period now, "feel" competent to do stuff, but if I push it I'll know I am not....lol Physical healings great, mental healing...well thought I'd have been more advanced by now.
