Titus & Medusa, my Neapolitan Mastiff Puppies

Peoria, IL(Zone 5a)

This is a photo of the latest additions to the family. Titus is the black one and Medusa is the blue one. This pic was taken when he was 6 months old and about 100lbs, she was 18 months old and 160lbs. Titus will get about 200lbs when full grown. They, and the other canine members of the family are spoiled to death and eat a daily diet that is 50% raw meats. They will rarley ever take a fried hamburger from a fast food joint.

This has got to be the messiest breed in the world. If you come in this house, you will not leave without being slimed. There is drool on the ceilings. Towels have to be kept handy for when they eat or drink. When they drink, all of the skin on their necks, the dewlap, goes into the water and gets dripped everywhere. They are a very large, protective and dominant breed much moreso than other breeds. We have 5 dogs of 4 breeds, 2 cats, 4 parrots, 4 rats and 1 snake.

A Neo is a breed for a dominant type person. If you let them, they will walk all over you, literally. They must always be reminded from a very young age who the leader of the pack is or they will take over. I am talking from age 8 weeks as a 18lb puppy they are already dominant and they will challenge you.
