American Bandog Mastiff: An Ugly Guard Dog

Tags: , , ,



There are some people out there that perceive this pooch to be “not so appealing” or “not cute or handsome”, talking from the aesthetic view. Contrary to the title, I believe this to be adorable – shame on those that think otherwise. Anyways, this giant and cute pooch isn't one of those breeds that have been existing during barbaric times or such. It's actually one of those new crossbreeds; the experiment was said to take place about 40 years ago by two breeders, namely: Swinford and Lucero. They felt the need for a better guard dog, so they took two of the toughest known to man.

The subjects used in the experiment was an American Pit Bull Terrier, a tough and strong pooch with aggressive instincts, and the awesome Neapolitan Mastiff. The latter is a Roman work of art, which participated in the arena to fight gladiators, lions, and all kinds of beasts and killer slaves. The end result was a fantatic guard dog with good behavior. The “good boy tough guy” persona was what made the new breed stand out – they were surprisingly good with their owners. They just love human companionship; they practically thrive on it. It's what keeps them going and even more willing to serve and protect.



The muscular pet was rather silent though, they don't bark much as an owner would expect from a normal guard dog, but the physical looks did all the talking for it. They will not, again will not hesitate to bite an intruder if it feels that he is posing a threat to the family. They may not talk much, but they still get the job done. As a matter of fact, it'll probably sit and stare at the stranger till that individual crosses the boundaries, that's when it'll most likely be pushed into action. Most would need an open and secured place outside to run around and play in – but this guard dog isn't like most pets.

They actually fair well indoors and even apartments, as long as they are given sufficient time for exercise and play. They enjoy playing with its human masters or just sitting near or beside them. It's a strong and brave guard pooch, but it'll need a lot of attention and tender loving care. It has a soft spot for human companionship, so leaving it alone will be bad for it. If you have to go to work, make sure that there is someone left behind for it to play with or hang out with, otherwise it'll be howling. Howling is a sign of loneliness for this pooch.

Raising an American Bandog Mastiff as a guard dog and family pet will require socialization at an early age. If that isn't done, it can become pretty aggressive with other pets and strangers. Work on it's behavior as soon as possible, and please use the right dog training methods. This will help a lot with its overall “rating” and “lovability”. Feed it with with the right stuff in it to keep it healthy and strong – equally divide its meals into three for better digestion and to avoid bloating. Do it right and you'll be end up with the perfect family guard dog.
