Research everything you can about the breed before you make a decision. Check out the breeder- why can't she sell the pups? health issues, temperment issues, conformation issues, etc....
Good luck in your decision! |
thank you so much. one of my biggest fears is aggression towards the other dogs. everything i have read about the french mastiff says that they are aggressive towards other dogs. the mother had to be artificially inseminated (sp?) because she would attack the male if he was anywhere near her.
i have talked to him and convinced him this probably wasnt the best time or reson for getting the puppy so it has put him on hold for a while... however it is his "dream" to have a mastiff someday.... i just want to make sure he does his research before deciding on the type and the breeder.
