They're actually not that rare anymore, alot of breeders for them as there are for most dogs. I don't have one, but I have seen a bunch. Just be prepared to deal with the look of those eyes.. ugh..
With all due respect they kinda look like fat globs, and that's coming from someone who like's masiff breeds and owns a decendent.

They do look like fat slobs.. But thats perfect... Cuz looks makes you think you can get past them... They are quick and attentive and beasts...
Just research the breeder throughly and you'll be happy....As a long time bull mastiff breeder- watch for cherry eye, entropion, ectropion and like all bully breeds hip dysplasia ...Get a copy of Sherilyn Allens book The Official Book of the Neapolitan Mastiff ..GL and pics required.....
thnx... im moving to GA this year and ill have a big backyard... Only thiing is its on a lake that harbors water moccasins... so snake break trainging is a must

You can also get ani-venom shots for dogs. My dad's one Lab was getting trained in Virgina for hunting and got bit by a water moccasin and got a shot. I believe they are then immune to most local snake species bites.
Are they immune forever... Or you would have to buy it every month??? that has to be expensive right? I wish they would just genocide all of the water moccasins in my lake. its not safe to fish using a boat... cuz they swim around the boat... lol awesome snakesVicious_Fish;1476149; said:
I'm not really sure. I will try and find out though. I don't think it lasts forever. Maybe a year, maybe several.
That sweet... Thats the only thing i was worried about because the fence isnt solid... and I am getting the underground fence built in to keep him in but the snakes wont be kept out
