Actually the BREEDER of them that they talked to was pretty reasonable. The other guy was a jack a**. But I forsee a real problem with this breed as the "pit bull" bans spread. Ginger Cleary, Rome, GA >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I think the guy needs a session or two with a baseball bat, and his dog needs to go to another owner. Fortunately the breed is so rare in this country, we are not likely to run across morons like this guy too often. The breeders here are generally very careful where they send these dogs, and should be. As with any breed , they have a set of responsibilities attached to them. This is NOT a breed for the first time dog owner, or for any owner not willing to correct immediately any infractions. They are a giant breed, but swift and athletic...tough as nails. Very intelligent, too. Obviously this guy had a dog far smarter than he. And since when is a centuries old breed a "designer dog?" NGC took a LOT of heat over the portrayal. They had other footage of these dogs carting, tracking, doing guardian work....would they use that ? Nooooooo. That wanted footage that was going to bring in viewers. Period.
