A horse girl and her mastiffs

[Serendipity]

I ground train Warmblood horses for a living and a few years ago, I decided to get my own dog to fit into my horse world and life in the country.

Labs and farms go hand in hand and my 5yo son and I looked at labs and then I went to check out an English mastiff. I was hooked. Boscoe is now 150 pounds and 4 years of age.
A few days ago, my son and I woke up like it was Christmas morning as our 2nd mastiff was now ready to leave her litter and she was 10 weeks old. We waited 8 months to get her. Riley is a neo mastiff and we are in love already.

They are not a good first dog to have but an amazing creature to have in your life if you have no issues being the alpha. ;-)

Welcome aboard~ Pics are a must! Be aware, some Neo's have a high prey drive.

As well, is there a real difference between the neo's and the English mastiffs or is it more how they are raised? My English is a great dog and very tolerant of kids, other dogs etc and I have had zero issues with him. Since a puppy, he went with me to various barns with various dogs and I have not let him get away with anything. I've read such horror stories on the neo's although I think being used to being an alpha around the horses does me well with these dogs. ;-). Thanks so much.

I dont know if you were scammed or what but that is not a Neo, not even close, mastiff mix maybe yes but not a Neo.

Here is a reference to compare, not my pic just one i found online http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQlBx0fOFrzDtu2cvPwycl_P8nxOH0x1bvorpK_OeTNJiQGd6VP
