Sash, that is one HUGE dog!!!!

Newfiemom....they do have a bear look to them. And I agree, the bigger the better...although I do like small dogs as well. HECK I LIKE 'EM ALL!

Just wondering because I read the AKC recognizes the St as the biggest but he is pretty big.............

Jacsmom, I found on some website where there was a tie for the heaviest between the Saint and Mastiff....Let me see if I can find it...

[quote name='newfiemom']I say the bigger, the better!!! More to hug, more to love. I will share this with you guys though...I moved to my new place last year and it is deep in the woods. A friend of mine reminded me that bear season will be here on Monday and what was I going to do to protect my newfs. I had never thought about it and I had to go out and buy everyone reflective collars!! :o[/quote]
Are your dogs out in the yard a lot? If they are, you might even want to see about getting some of that bright orange fabric and making vests for them. Some people really don't look closely enough before shooting, and might not even notice the collars. Also, if you don't already have them, you might want to put up "no hunting/tresspassing" signs around your property.

Good luck Newfiemom! We sure hope they don't get mistaken for a bear. I know that I have read on many websites that you must be careful with Shibas during hunting seasons because they can be mistaken for a fox. I understand your concerns, but I am in town, not in the boonies! :wink:

I think it was 260lbs. I want to see a picture of that yorkie that was 2.5 inches tall! Yikes! How, what, why where??? I don't think you can even call that a dog! Did they keep it in a glass aquarium or something?! It would get lost in your rug!

[b]I said in "what is the biggest dog a st. or mastiff" to be found at [url]http://forum.dogomania.com/viewtopic.php?t=2243[/url][/b][quote]well let me be a bit more specific then since I wouldnt want to sound uneducated and dictatorish, so for the details and the new standards,

The Mastino male is 350-450 pounds and 50-54" at the withers, his canine teeth will be a minimum of 3" ears cannot be croped but I will let docking be optional.

hmm, am I forgeting anything, oh the only acceptable color will be jet black and any case no matter how small of cherry eye is not alowed, also all other dogs will be expected to learn the "Mastino hop" and thus at all shows and competions every breed must lunge with every step and walk as massive as possible, this includes poms, pugs and yorkies

[quote]My dogs aren't really ever out in the yard and never alone but when you combine drunk hunters and damp, foggy mornings...it is a recepie for disaster. I always have my dogs on leash when they are with me and I do plan to be personally out there in the mornings so I think that the orange collars (very thick) will be okay. My friend who mentioned it said that even when they are drunk, once the hunters see orange, they won't shoot.[/quote]
You're right. I meant to say out in the yard alone, but it didn't quite come out that way :oops: Even if they do think they're bears, they'll be so shocked that the bear is obedience trained that they'll just stand in shock, giving you plenty of time to escape :lol: .
