Well it looks like Mastiffs will be the next victims of these fanatics as you can see the new catch phrase will be "they were bred by the Romans"..... using typical "foamer" language like "blood thirsty dogs" etc etc etc yawn eyes roll......

 As you can see they talk each other into a frenzy.....

The recent popularity of the mastiff got me thinking about how much our dogs reflect ourselves. What kind of person would want to own a breed of dog used by blood-thirsty Romans to kill people for entertainment? Who would want to own a breed that was the foundation stock of every man-killing type of dog from pit bull to Rottweiler, Presa Canario, Cane Corso and Alaunt?

Pamela Lee Becking That is a question I ask myself frequently. There are so many wonderful breeds and cross breeds out there. Why choose a dog like that?

Julia Lewis Quite apart from those reasons I would not want such a lumbering, unathletic dog that would cost a fortune to feed. I like dogs that can run about properly, as dogs should be able to do, fetch balls, swim and have fun.

Dana Renfrow I have met mastiff nutters. They are usually pit nutters, too. Pissed off a bunch of them when I supported a woman shooting a mastiff that attacked her. They said she could have pinned the dog down and muzzled it. LMAO, imbeciles!

Julia Lewis How would you pin down a mastiff that was being aggressive? I know a tiny, spindly woman - elderly - who has a huge mastiff. If that turned on her, goodness knows what would happen.

Sheri Mobley I have never met a person that that I would deem responsible enough to own a dangerous breed because if you opt to bring one into your home then obviously you don't view them as dangerous.

Pamela Lee Becking We had a resident in my building who took his own life a couple of days ago and left behind his Bernese Mountain dog. He's a lovely, friendly dog. If I had more room and a larger income, I'd offer that dog a home in a heartbeat.

Kristen Lorielle Kelley Mastiff is a breed but is also a type of dog. Just like a setter has multi versions and a spaniel etc. I have a dog of the mastiff family and love her she is a greater swiss mountain dog. It's labeled in the mastiff category and is the least vicious dog u could own. There breed is terrible at protection but is a mastiff. I think the word mastiff in this group gets throw around alot without understanding there r thousands of mastiff types that have no aggressive tendencies and never have. I do completely understand Ur statement and I am not saying Ur wrong there our multi breeds that r terrible breeds that r mastiffs or mastiff types. But to say y people want a mastiff is just as broad spectrum as saying I don't like all terriers or I don't like setters not every mastiff was breed with the purpose to be aggressive and guard. The world isn't black and white...

Eve Sylvie There are some noble and gentle breeds with mastiff influence - Bernese, Newfie and St. Bernard come to mind. Though having said that, there have been some St. Bernard fatalities.

Denise Duirway I agree to a point that there are Gentle Giant Mastiffs. I trained and socialized an English Mastiff of a neighbor's from 8 weeks to 8 years old who was a Gentle Giant. However, there are some crossed with Pit bulls that have high statistics, especially in Europe as per Planetdeadly.com Their top ten list is:
1. Pit bulls
2. Presa Canarios
3. Tosa Inus
4. Caucasian Ovarchka?
5. Rottweilers
6. Dogos
7. Fila Brasilieros
8. Cane Corso or Italian Mastiff
9. Neapolitan Mastiff
10. Wolfdogs

I was surprised at the Ovarchka but they are rare in North America. If you add in Bullmastiffs in lieu of Ovarchkas then the list is the same for North America with 50 human deaths attributable to these rare Mastiffs with the exception of Rottweilers at second highest in the US with 105 fatalities since 1978.

Look how much the Pit bull x Mastiffs resemble the extinct Alaunt war dogs. Those are the ones that are still being used as Gladiators today. I think there should be strict regulations for them too like microchipping breeding permits, muzzling, insurance, etc. I think long haired and curly haired dogs should be exempt but smooth-haired dogs over 40 pounds? I am really concerned about those Pocket Pitbull mixes too. Our City just euthanized one yesterday for a terrible attack that could have been prevented with BSL. All's well that ends well with BSL, is my new Shakespearean motto. Lol.

Dana Renfrow I don't care if any non-pit type dogs can be owned legally, as long as it is done responsibly. This is because as far as I know, the stats don't put any other type of dogs killing pets and people left and right. Even so, any human-biter needs to be put down.

Laurie Anne Eve, if you can figure out why giant molossers are popular now, please let me know. I can totally understand why Julius Caesar had them, or a padron of a sprawling hacienda in Argentina or a South Africa Boer farmer would want one - but a suburban mom? The only part of it I comprehend is that they love the attention. They love people commenting on how huge their dogs are. They love to boast on how it is already 100lbs and its still just 8 months old, etc. I'm a meanie wienie and just look through them and don't give them their shot of narcissistic supply. (Owners of "teacups" are similarly insane.)

Mia Johnson I need to say a word of defence for teacup owners though... Having previously had 3 large labs in a row followed by two dogs at 5 and 10 pounds, I've been surprised they provide the same level of companionship without being large, and without all the dog hair and muddy footprints and big poops! There's nothing like the feeling of walking or hiking with a large dog gently bumping against your side, with his head ready to be patted by your hand near waist level. But our little ones have such huge personalities they seem like large dogs at home.

Denise Duirway I agree with you mostly because these people have Lion Tamer Complex, which doesn't fit the mold for Teacup dogs. Please don't say ankle-biters are just as dangerous, lol.

 The fact is as you can see for yourself by the colorful language and made up words these people are not public safety advocates they hate all medium to big dogs and they plan to campaign to kill them all obviously.

 The personal attacks on the 'types" of people that would own these "types" of dog flow from the outset using all the same language they use when talking about pit bulls and their owners generally while defending the actions of their untrained, unsocial, & generally vicious little out of control dog which tend to start most of the dog on dog encounters when their owners fail to control them.
more to come.....
