2007-Neapolitan Mastiff

[hbqw]

A mastiff & 4 bulldogs, was obvious who was the winner at first sighting but the old geezer still made them run around in circles! why not send the the 4 malnourished home to eat immedietly & let the one mastiff run around by himself?

[grandmayolli]

If I got skin cut off my dick without my permission I can have my dogs ears done

[Freyasuse]

I am for cropping, although it sounds cruel: No infections in the ear. The same goes for tails: No injuries at the tails.

[vivalaliisa]

@Freyasuse Cropping ears makes sense if you use your dog for Hunting or protection work, but if you don't there is really no point in doing it other then appearances. In actuality if cropping ears was truly to fight ear infections then why don't they crop all dogs ears? why only the tough looking dogs? look at cocker spaniels for instance they have floppy ears that are prone to ear infections how many cocker spaniels have you seen with cropped ears?

[Xundoshi]

If a Neo has to get ear cropped for health reasons, as much as I find it inhumane, I understand. If it isn't for health reasons, I detest it.

[attilaclark]

The mistake with the AkC is that they have a champion then breed way to many dogs to this male and the gene pool gets narrower. With working breeds you have to have them prove themselves in the working area before they are showed. Then you can keep the type you want. Look at the show lab vs working lab , or what they did to the cocker spaniel, or the bulldog.

[funzie00]

euhhhh...ear cropping protect them from injuries! My female is not cropped and had ears cut twice by an other Neo. They are big beast, and they play rough!

[naser2000]

fuckin zoophiles!

[222674131]

Fuk Off Seriously....Why the fuk r u treating these Rare Neos like Dolls!!!!!

[StonekeepNeapolitan]

Very nice dogs

To bad you have to deal with the ignorance of so many people who have no idea what they are talking about.

Thanks for sharing, beautiful dogs!!

[attilaclark]

There are people that live for a breed of dog. They really wanna make the best to show off in front a crowd. The judge also works in public so I think showing is a good thing. The better dogs win but lets be sure a field championship should be obtained first. I helped

I helped introduce the American Bulldog into central IOwa and I am really happy with this breed diverse gene pool. Shows condense the gene pools.

[reininggal3500]

They are starting to be built more... UM ....shall I say basset houndish? What happend to the older style when they first came to the states? Maybe this is why so many beeders wont sell to the US?

[Kyriele1]

Wow. My little house hippo does NOT look like that at all. Laugh. They look kinda like pot bellied pigs. My Shiva does not have her ears cropped nor her tail (although it whips around like an iguana's..laugh). I'm also not interested in what the AKC can do to or for the Mastino. And honestly? I kind of wonder about the personalities of the males who will go to the shows and allow all these strangers (especially if the handler is a professional and not the owner) approaching and touching it

THIS VIDEO TOTALLY SUCKED ASS

[KATSIMAMALO]

stunning...

[Ambercthompson]

Cropped ears are cruel!!!!

[hakidd8503]

For all of those who are talking about how cruel it is to crop their ears.... Mastinos sometimes require cropping of the ears due to health reasons. We have a Mastino and we choose not to crop his ears. However, in the future, there is a possibility of when the weight of their ears smash into their skulls when they shake their heads, it can cause blood blisters that can rupture and cause blood splatter everywhere. They are massive dogs.

[shamuluva]

@hakidd8503 I have a bluetick coonhound. Hounds are known for hematomas. I haven't cropped HIS ears. Any dog with floppy ears can get a hematoma. A dog doesn't shake his head much if he doesn't have something wrong with them. That is usually an ear infection. To avoid ear infections... clean his ears! There's a concept. I clean my hound's ears every other day.

[TPU603]

i love the napolitan mastiff!!!...i have 3 girls....cuz the boys are...a little dificult to training.....xDD

[KamLautner]

My neo is no where near as weiged down as those dogs!

[gonzo8407]

Cebu4life. Look all those dogs look well taken care of, cropping ears at a vet if fine, no the dog didn't ask for it, but a dog can't talk, so your the stupid one. Who? Knows maybe the dog won't to look cool. Look what about Brest enlargement. Tummy tulks and so on, it is what it is. Why don't you put your time into stopping pittbull fighting. Or go play in traffic. Your what people call a blow job!! Tell your story walking. And have a nice day.

[zabuca]

Absolutely Stunning!!!!! With or without cropping, these are beautiful dogs the mastiff breed in general. I'll love this breed for life. I would of also enjoyed seeing a little more colour variations, the black and black/brindle are Stunning as well & the Apricot shade is a show stopper.

[gonzo8407]

Your a fucking cunt... Don't fuck with the breed. There's alot more inportant shit to deal with. Ok. You don't like it well, not a fucking thing you can do. THERUFFIANCRASH,,,,

[gonzo8407]

If a dogs ears are cropped as a young pupp, what wrong with that if it's done by a vet. Should we stop women from getting big tits. Or a baby from getting circumcise, or a person from a sex change. B-4 you jump dog lovers let's talk about it all dick.

[cebu4life]

@gonzo8407 ...stupid comment on your part..a dog lover shouldnt do anything to hurt their pets..you're comparing it to the above examples when those are all for a certain reasons..the dogs never asked you guys that they want their tails or ears to be cut...what are your reasons for doing it?

[1sketchie2sketchie]

poor dogs. disgusting.

[TheRuffianCrash]

oooo! look at all the poor dogs with no ears. yes lets keep up that fashion statement, chop off puppies ears to look 'cool', what a fucking marvelous idea! cunts.

[cebu4life]

@TheRuffianCrash ...i actually agree with you..if an owner cuts their dogs tail or ears, I think they should do that to themselves too so they'll know how it hurts and how it's gonna scar them for life.

[AcousticNic]

@TheRuffianCrash The ears aren't cropped to look "cool". They're cropped for health reasons. Do your research before you make an ignorant comment. :)

[shamuluva]

@AcousticNic They are only cropped due to tradition. Danes and dobermans used to have their ears cropped like neos because they actively boar hunted and were guard dogs. Now they are cropped longer because people like the look better and because the short crop is no longer needed to protect their ears. It serves no purpose to crop ears now because most danes aren't out boar hunting, etc. So yes, they ARE actually cropped to look cool. The standard for neos allows natural ears AND cropped ears.

[phatmatttheriverrat]

crazy!!! i picked that dog in the begining! I never have good luck..but ask me what dog will win on you tube and I get it right!

[meinefarm]

kurze Beine, massiger überpropotionaler Körper.. Können diese Hunde überhaupt noch richtig über die Wiesen rennen, oder sind die nur für solche "Shows" ???Ist HD oder ED oder oder da nicht schon vor programmiert??Mal ernsthaft??!

[HyperfastMalmsteen]

1:21 das ist bruce von das talent show.??..HALT DU BRAUCHS EINE WECHSEL KURS!

[tehOGRE]

@meinefarm

Diese Rasse wurde gezüchtet um gegen Löwen zu kämpfen, 5-10 Stück wurden auf einen Löwen gehetzt, manchmal hat der Löwe gewonnen öfter aber die Hunde. Ist ne physisch extrem starke Rasse, erwachsene Männchen können bis zu 100kg wiegen und dabei gesund sein.

Ist ne sehr alte Rasse (Rom, Gladiatoren)...

[meinefarm]

Ich finde die Hunde wirklich toll, ich mag große breite Hunde, auch diese Rasse finde ich klasse!

ABER speziell in diesem Video ist (der 2. und 3. in der Reihe)doch sehr klein und dick im Verhältnis zur Größe, die hätten sicher gegen keinen Löwen gewonnen, sondern sich freuen können wenn sie dem Löwen davon laufen können! Bei dieser Rasse ist es wie bei so vielen (leider) sind zwischen Vorfahren und den heutigen RIESIGE Unterschiede!

[selfishsetta]

Two of my favorite things in this world: Neos and dog shows! Great post, thank you.

[IMOZZA]

big up mandylion!! why do neos only live for 6 years!!? cos of shit show breeders!!

[AmberFaithChloe]

The 1st two have very high bums!

[MandyLionWWIII]

Now that the Kennel Club and AKC got their pathetic hands on this magnificent breed we will end up with yet another breed which is nothing but a sad shadow of a once great past. Rottweilers that won't protect, GSD's that cannot run, Mastiffs that are afraid of a mouse, Boxers that rarely live longer than 5 years, Bulldogs that cannot breathe, run, mate or give birth and the list goes on. When will the Kennel Club and the AKC stop destroying these wonderful breeds...? Enough is enough already.

[Skywalker91]

@MandyLionWWIII - Word. The Mastino almost tops the list of breeds that has changed for the worse in the past 50-100 years, together with the English bulldog, the Pekingese and the Basset hound.

It's so sad to watch these once magnificent creatures, now reduced to shadows of their former glory.

[DelPescatore]

@Skywalker91 Again I beg you to meet a real mastino before you past judgement on all. A true type mastini is a thing to behold and we are fighting hard to keep its italian integrity.

[kungfuhussler39]

@MandyLionWWIII Agreed...... All the breeders primp, pose, and fondle the dogs into submission. Just so some intellectual wannabe can point to one animal and say "this is a desirable dog, you have my permission to want it...!" Looks like the only person(and kanine) on the floor with any shred of dignity left, was the Black gentleman. He and his Neo stayed cool as a cucumber. Otherwise, still just a self indulgent spectacle.

[shamuluva]

@kungfuhussler39 Actually, the dogs are trained to stack just like they are trained to sit, stay, etc. And, the breeders aren't doing anything here. It is the handlers. Yes, there are some dogs who are bred, owned, and handled by the same person but usually it is 2 or 3 different people. And not all dogs and people do this for the titles. My bluetick coonhound and I do it simply because it's fun! He loves it. If he didn't, we wouldn't be showing. There's no point if he doesn't enjoy it too :)

[shamuluva]

@MandyLionWWIII It already IS a shadow of it's former self. They used to look (and are still bred) similar to cane corsos. The old school working types are gorgeous!

And people need to get their facts straight. The AKC doesn't write the standard. The parent clubs of the breeds do. The AKC isn't the one destroying breeds. The parent clubs are.
