Thread: Dogs!

Speaking of ear fixing, here's my boy Jack. He's a purebred Cane Corso ( Italian Mastiff.) He eats like a horse, has bowel movements like a horse, but is a scaredy cat like a mouse. Unfortunately when we got him we had no choice with the tail docking. We did have a choice with his ears, as most Corsos have cropped ears. We chose to leave him natural, hes already scary looking as it is! Its funny, my wife originally wanted a blue colored female, but fell in love with Jack, a black brindled boy!!!



He's great with my daughter too.

Older pictures but still my little girls, both only around 6-8 months old

Been awhile since i posted into this thread and the youngest puppy has grown up a bit.
Tried to take a pic of them all 4 running in the same picture, but it seems to be the mission impossible.
So here's few from today. Took three pics from me to catch them all.

That is one breed that I actually like cropped ears as it is a standard look for the breed. Now Pit Bull Terriers I HATE with cropped ears.

Very nice! Very large, powerful breed. The only thing bad about large breeds is that their life is so short.

A few years back, here in Nova Scotia, a law was introduced that prohibits the cropping of ears. There are reasons to crop and not to crop. My pup is a family dog and has no need to have it done; police/ward dogs get it done for very specific purposes.

Wally: beautiful Italian Mastiff you've got there.

Marine Dad, I agree!! I told my wife that my next dog would be small, like sailors dog there. Although I love my Jack boy, he's hard to manage sometimes.

With all this talk about dogs it got me to thinking about a subject I am passionate about.....dog food. I thought of making a list of brands to avoid but I don't want to offend anyone who may be feeding their beloved pet such low quality food. I think you should feed your dog the best quality kibble you can afford but others don't really care. As I said though, it's a subject I am passionate about.

I always fed Chesty the Evo Red Meat, and augmented that with as much raw chicken feet and necks livers and thighs and beef heart as I could get him.
