Chickentrain's Dog Q&A

[black_cat]

Ok so apparently the breeds that they talk about are:
Irish Wolfhound
Cane Corso
Neapolitan Mastiff
Great Dane
Newfoundland Dog
Brazilian Mastiff
Tibetan Mastiff
Great Dane
Kangal Shepherd Dog
Komondor
Doberman
Scottish Deerhound
"Argentinian Dogo'' (do they mean Dogo Argentino?)
Black Russian Terrier


Shouldn't they have breeds that are bred for aggressiveness like APBTs (I think that I'm right on that? it was something pit related) and those big, hard to train ones that you mentioned earlier in a breed spotlight?

*not saying that either are bad, you just need to be experienced and dedicated to own either and be successful

Why did you have to be fearless for any of these?

yeah prolly, only "dangerous" dog i see there is the Tibetan mastiff

there are some breeds that are just dangerous if in the wrong hands, or if they are ill bred. I don't see much of that here. The scottish deerhound is a gentle giant?

No idea?
For me they're just larger and therefore more huggable

*If I know that they've been properly socialized and they are comfortable in the situation
*I don't just go around hugging large dogs

They're showing video clips that I'm sure intimidate small dog owners 'wow! so big!' but tbh our last golden was so huge that I'm just like 'eh, that's just a bit bigger than Igby'
So far I am not impressed

P sure that this is just perspective and dog is in the foreground and the leash is longer than it looks

Uh, you mean like 20 different dog breeds, many of which are common?

It may not even take a long leash, just the right camera lens or setting.
I've seen photos showing a huge dog nose on a tiny face--same trick, even less distance.
