Guest Anonymous Posted June 29, 2002 Posted June 29, 2002 I am so sorry for your friends dog. :cry: did she see the dog's owner? Quote
Aroura Posted June 30, 2002 Posted June 30, 2002 Oh, how terrible? I would have grabbed the dog and taken it to the pound if the owner wasnt to be seen so it didn't happen to someone elses dog, dogs like that should be muzzled in public and on a lead! By the sounds of it it was a Neapoliten Mastiff, but I doubt they would be classified anywhere as a dangerous breed. Thats terrible, I would die if anything like that happend to either of my dogs :cry: Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted July 1, 2002 Posted July 1, 2002 Sounds like a Neopolitan mastiff to me as well. but, please ask your friends these questions and give us the answers. it will help us all to determine the breed. 1. Did it have cropped or long ears? 2. Long or docked tail? 3. About how large? 4. A guess at approximate weight. In closing. This is heartfelt. I went through the same thing with my 10 month old border collie, 2 years back. A bunch of teenagers set their pit bull loose in the park and, of course, they had taught it to kill things, and he killed my little girl, Sheba. And the authorities did nothing. Neos are typically well behaved and NOT aggressive. Quote
GSDmom Posted July 1, 2002 Posted July 1, 2002 Oh, how terrible. I think it sounds like a neo too. Neo's can be very aggressive. I have a friend that raises them and her dogs are fine with other large dogs, but anything small and they attack it. Also, they are great with people during the day but one time they left the farm at night and let 2 neo's loose to guard while they were gone (house, barn, pasture for horses and cows, kennels all fenced) and when they came home the dogs turned viscious on them and it took lots of convincing before the dogs would let them in the house. They have not turned the dogs loose at night since then and have not had a problem. Quote
GizmoRedNosePit Posted July 1, 2002 Posted July 1, 2002 hmmmm I am sorry to hear of your friends loss, I am not an expert on breeds but everyone else is! So just talk to them and maybe you two can find that dog and take it in and hopefully dont put it down but what ever has to happen has to happen.... :-? Quote
Aroura Posted July 2, 2002 Posted July 2, 2002 This story actually reminds me of something that happend to me years and years ago, I would have been about 8 at the time. One day I was trying to catch our dwarf rabbit, La Belle, and I grabbed her and only managed to get her leg which made her squeel so I let go. The next day she was gone. For years and years I blamed myself, feeling so guilty that I had caused her to run away. For about 9 years I felt this terrible guilt at the loss of our pet and had spent many many nights crying over it, until one day mum accidently let it slip what really happend. She'd been hiding it from us kids because she didn't know that I blamed myself so just said that she'd run away. What really happend apparently was our buff, tough wannabe macho neighbour thought it was a joke to sick his Bull Terrier onto our rabbit infront of mum. In this case it certainly was a case of the owner needed to be put down, not the dog. I loved that rabbit, as did the rest of the family, and all it took was one stupid owner and thier loving, loyal, innocent dog to ruin this. Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted July 13, 2002 Posted July 13, 2002 According to my friend the dog's description was: 1 long ears 2 long tail 3 slightly bigger than a rottweiler 4 around 150lbs she also describes this dog as having a lot of wrinkles. Chinese fighting dog came to my mind but I don't know much as I am not very familiar with dog breeds. Quote
GizmoRedNosePit Posted July 13, 2002 Posted July 13, 2002 BIG ears....Great Dane.... Long Tail...Great Dane... Slightly bigger than a rottweiler....growing Great Dane.... Around 150 lbs...Great Dane..... That is what came to my mind.... But I have never heard of a great dane even showing 1 little tiney bit of aggression and surely not killing another dog.... wrinkles....could be from the growing great dane.....they have alot of skin.... :-?

Guest Anonymous Posted July 13, 2002 Posted July 13, 2002 It's not a Great Dane. My brother-in-law has 3 of them and I know it's not that breed. Quote
GizmoRedNosePit Posted July 13, 2002 Posted July 13, 2002 Excuse me, I just put my opinion..ok! Like I said Great Danes have Big Ears (if not cropped) a long tail, a growing great dane is a little larger than a rotti and they are big! Also they have loose skin! So dont tell me what's up unless you have a reason to ok!!!! Now if this is the person that posted this post...you made it seem like you weren't there..so whats up? Were you there or were you not?? It was a guess....ok! Understand that....it came across you were upset that I said it was a great dane...chilll girly...or boy which ever.... :wink: Quote
