They are going to bring him by on New Year's day, I talked to the owner on the phone.
What'cha think?

My wife is still asking that I try and get a dog that looks and acts just like our now deceased back Chow Chow, but although I understand the sentiment, that's too tall an order for my sanity.
A dog is a dog is a dog are all different and yet the same........
How cute! What type is it?
Well, he seems like a loved dog. I'm no expert on socializing the stronger breeds, so I'll just say he's a darling.
Now there's the puppy picture and the one year old picture. He's a neutered, male American Bulldog/Neopolitan Mastiff. He was a cute puppy now he's 90 lbs and may go up a bit more!
Wow, he's gorgeous! It seems like a good mix. The pit is tempered by the mastiff and the mastiff may live a longer life mixed with the pit. I love the way neo mastiffs look.
I'm no expert on socializing the stronger breeds either, I'm not sure if a Chocolate Lab and then a Chow prepare me for this beast or not.
An American Bulldog is not a pit bull, if that's really what the mix is (and I can believe that it is). Only American Bulldog I've known weighed 120 pounds, was dumb as a post and sweet as honey, and thought he was a lap dog.
He's a damn good looking dog, chumly.
And years ago and far away when we took our irish setter for obedience training (oh, stop snickering), a rather tiny young woman and her bull mastiff (well, anyway, a mastiff) won the best in course easily...
The giant breeds are usually pretty easy to boss around. Danes and mastiffs and all those swiss dogs tend to be big good-natured goofs -- even the ones who bark at the mailman.
Here is the mom!
The dude in the chair is (I assume) the breeder from whom the poeple that I talked to got the dog.
They came over and the dog was a bit too hyper and hand-shy.

Yep! Thing is I gotta make the wife happy too and she's more spooked about these things than me. If I was on my own I prolly would have adopted the beast, or at least gone for a one week test.
Ahhh, so I wish the dog extra well. (Aaaaaargh).
Sorry, this kind of thing just about kills me.
Me too.
The present owners do seem responsible but for reasons I don't quite understand are unable / unwilling to continue with the dog.
I can't be responsible for actions not of my own making, that said if I get a pet I keep it in the best of health come hell or high water and do not pawn it off on another.
Others take a more casual attitude towards pets.
