Superdog, as your dog grows and matures he will be able to handle himself just fine, he is a mastiff after all. Really, he may even become hard for you to handle and a liability if you don't put in the time to develop handle with him. Just ensure that your dog is well mannered, confident and most of all obedient and you will be fine.
Be less worried about protecting him and more focused on enjoying your time with him.

Best of luck to you and your pup, as you can see, folks in our sport can be a bit clanish and distrusting of outsiders. Understand that we have good reason to be this way in our country as folks are daily striving to strip us of our rights as hunters and dogmen.
You may honestly find more helpful tips and less animosity on a non-working pet training forum. Again, best of luck fella.

And super dog. If you are a anti hunter or a humane person you need to look on both sides of the fence. Most dog hunters look at their dogs like family and they are in example to athletes so they get the best their is on the market for them so they can do their job to the best of their ability. Dogs were bred to hunt and have a job whether it be yard dog or guardian or hunting etc. as long as people are hunting with dogs it will be dogs took well good care of. It's when the hunting is done away with their will be no more need for dogs. If you are a anti hunter you can guarantee your self as long as people hunt any kind of game with dogs their took care of by most people and you should feel more comfortable knowing that and should be on the hunters sides. I hope you get your dog situation straightened out I know i would not like dogs jumping on mine everytime I walked them. Good luck

I'm not some tree hugging anti-hunting activist (although I guess I do like trees). I'm in a hunting community myself - I've killed dozens this year already and my bitch has a great knack for randomly catching and clean-killing pheasants - so I don't really have any strong feelings about hunting with dogs, but I do understand how annoying the "activists" are as they usually don't have a clue what they're ranting about and usually don't want to try to understand either. I'm an avid fisherman myself and I know people are against that too, usually saying fishermen are leaving line and mistreating fish not realising it's the fishermen that look after fish and know/care more about them than the activists and no one ever wants to lose line or you've lost your end tackle(!). In the UK a rights group have gone and reintroduced otters too and actually said they'd have no impact on the fish stocks!! So yeah, I understand why you'd be annoyed but please rest assured I haven't really developed any anti hog dog feelings as I didn't know this activity even existed last week and I don't really have enough brain space right now to think it through enough but I do know I actually like the idea of working dogs as hundreds of years ago they were all bred to be doing something while nowadays most dogs just sit at home staring at walls.

I know I'm kind of going around in circles and I'm sorry for that, but armouring him up is pretty much the only thing that's going to stop his throat from getting ripped and I don't have the stomach to be trying to carry him and hold his neck together while manically driving to the vets. Plus so far he's never actually been "hurt" by another dog and I think if one actually caused him pain then he'd get quite aggressive whereas thankfully he only pinned the patterdale like my bitch does to him when he's annoying her. I've done so much training with him and every time he gets attacked I have to do one on one sessions with the trainer just to make sure he can have "happy" times around unknown dogs to try to undo the damage. He'll loose leash walk and do all kinds of daft tricks and he let me open his jaws to get the patterdale out and I've read usually you can't do that so I'm pretty pleased about that. Just worried if it's a staffy or rotty attacking him as he'd be pretty equally matched and having seen how quick the patterdale was I just want to make sure the dog can't get a grip-hold while I try to figure out how to bash it on the head. I think if the other dog gets the chance to actually latch on then it'll be a full blown attack and hopefully it'd just go to bite the vest, look confused and then I can shoo it away. I thought about the chainmail vests (the armoured dog is one of the first Google image search pictures) but I got the feeling they would be way out of my price range - if shark suits were cheaper I'd buy one of them and leap on the other dog myself! Do you have the link for the Australian chainmail suit place? I've had a search but can't find it :-/

  I am not sure a dog is best for you. Maybe adopt a cat.


    If you happen to be serious , change where you walk your dog. If there happens to be vicious attack dogs where ever you go. See a doctor.

I already have two cats and one chased two different staffies off his territory so maybe I'm best walking him with the dog.  laugh

I'm honestly not taking the mickey and it's not just me! Although I accept that maybe I'm going a bit over the top trying to make sure he doesn't get ripped apart, but when that day comes I want it to fly past without any major incident.

Sounds like you and others facing the same issue should go talk to whatever authority regulates dog laws over there and press for harsher  penalties for owners who don't keep their dogs under control or confined or leashed properly.

Get the mastiff a guard dog, maybe 2 (one for the left-one for the right)

Maybe another to guard the rear.

100% agreed AND stop walking ur damn dog till they fix it if u can't protect ur self and ur dog won't protect hisself. If u hav to baby that miniature horse, then maybe it's the wrong dog in the first place

Steel toe boots are deadly on a country boys feet Smiley if you can't stand up for your dog, then don't take him walking. If your the pack leader, prove it. Every mean dog on the block would be crippled if I were having that problem.

can you post pics of the dogs involved? also please get someone to video your dog walks so the experts can judge the situation better Grin. there are some people on here that are very knowledgeable about dog behavior. I also love trees.I do not love anti hunters or hs trash. If you are a anti and i find out about it I will go outside and shoot at least two helpless squirrels or something and eat their flesh.our dogs don't fight hogs they strike hogs and bay them. or catch them and hold them usually by the ears.although catch dogs are typically used for that and a good number of those are walked into close range of the bay and are turned loose to minimize exposure and danger. then the hog is tied up unharmed with exception to a little ear damage that quickly heals. the other way is to walk in on the caught hog and stick it with a large knife . I like to stick them high up between ribs and push straight down until everything around turns red. the animal is dead in seconds.In both these methods the hunter is vulnerable to injury's as well.I think your setting us up. there is no need, just message me and i'll give you some stuff that will make your ears bleed.
