I have to agree to disagree. The Dogo is a bear hunter with some awesome take down abilities. Here in the US the Neo/Italian Mastiff has really been watered down. If you look at a neo thats line has been in the US for years, they don't even have the wrinkled saggy faces. They were once roman battle dogs, used in the box, but they just don't have any drive anymore. Not to mention, they over heat and stroke out quite easliy. I can't even own one in the climate I live in(AZ) cause it'll die for sure! I think the Dogo has a good instinct and the intimidation factor is way up there as well. I will say that I didn't agree 100% with that list though....

BTW, welcome to the site Rev, glad to see you made it.

theres good working neo's in the usa,breeding for a typie neapolitain mastiff has destroyed the breed,the overly wrinkled dog,try looking at "steel trap kennels".
The neo is also a re/created dog from the 2nd world war only related to the old cane e presa dogs.
Believing the neo is the old roman battle dog is like believing the american bully is the apbt....

It isn't?

this is from a artical writen on the modern neo.......

Quote :

Most people are at least vaguely aware of the ancient history of all Mastiffs. You will find many books on the subject, though how correct the information is, one often wonders, as there are frequently long gaps in the history or lineage of most breeds. Neapolitan Mastiffs are no exception. When you see things like; 'It is thought' or 'It is believed' or 'Most likely', you can be sure that in reality; It is not known.

What one author writes, many others will simply copy without a clue as to the facts. I have seen articles referring to Neos as 'Teddy Bears' or 'Gentle giants'. True a well reared dog is gentle toward his family and often even their guests. Regardless of this, he should NEVER be taken lightly, for that 'Teddy Bear' will turn in a second into a raging beast if his family or home is threatened.

It is CERTAIN that the Neapolitan Mastiff does belong to the family of dogs known of Old as the Molosser, and that these were dogs of war. It also stands as common sense that those dogs of Old were far fitter and tougher dogs than the romantic re-creation which is the Neapolitan of today.

We know roughly what those dogs of war looked like from artefacts, and paintings. These suggest that the larger of these dogs were left at home to guard, while the more active dogs were used to hunt or bring down large game, as well as march into battle.

We know that by the 1940's there were still a few dogs who bore more than a passing resemblance to the old Molosser as he used to be depicted. There were at that time no written records of lineage, nor were the dogs openly traded. They were bred and kept by both wealthy Italian landowners and poor farmers alike.

That the popularity of Rottweillers is on the rise because of pit bull bans. I'm sure the next explosion of dogs bites is soon at hand.

Not saying this to anyone in specific, just want to make a point. By saying that a certain breed is bad ass and tough as nails aren't we doing the samething that we wanna stop people from thinking about APBTs, in a nutshell?

Yes, You have a point..

theres so many good guard dogs its impossable to rank,only opinions.
That being said,i prefer the short haired medium sized mastiff breeds for guard work.
