Honestly: Is this a scary-looking dog?

[SeattleGirl]

1. Scary? No way! Looks like a happy puppy to me.

:loveya:

[blonndee]

4. Thank you SeattleGirl

that's what I think too. :)

[flvegan]

2. Looks part Dogo to me...that first pic is a dead giveaway.

maybe a little bully breed mixed in.

What do I win?

[blonndee]

3. LOL

I totally thought she was a Dogo mix when I got her at about 3 months old, but she's turned out to be only 40 lbs. It's a total mystery, although my jerk new neighbors apparently think she's a vicious pit who's going to maul their children. :rofl: This is my baby Frankie. She's never been angry for one minute of her life.

[flvegan]

8. Ha ha! That dog is SO a Dogo.

Mixed down for the size, but still...

The Dogo is quite possibly the BEST dog in the world, especially considering how they've come about here.

If I had to guess the mix...I'd say...that you just have a smaller Dogo. The face/ears are dead on. Totally!

10. she looks part-boxer

after seeing the spots on her neck.

[LeftyMom]

5. Killer dog! Hide the children!

What a sweet baby. :loveya:

[Danger Mouse]

6. Those last two pictures it looks like he's grinning...

I really like that last picture. He looks like an awesome dog. Wanna trade for our stinky, braindead standard poodle? Please??

[blonndee]

9. She totally is grinning!

She's got a great smile and she thinks life is beautiful! But hey, I've heard some great things about poodles. :)

[Danger Mouse]

13. so have i...then i met our poodle, madeline...

she barks all the time, she jumps on everything, she's big and dumb, she burps farts and pukes all over the place. she eats garbage. our garbage. she chases the cat. she STINKS. i mean, she is RAUNCHY. her breath isn't much better than her bo.
she follows you around, she scratches up the floors with her claws, she runs headfirst into objects (she's THAT dumb)...she's always in the way...
that dog makes me want to :banghead:

[WindRavenX]

7. lol@ the third one

:rofl:

looks adorable :)

[blonndee]

11. Thanks! She won a "smile" contest for that one!

She's a trip. Believe me, she bosses me around, whether she's smiling or griping at me.

[uppityperson]

12. only if I were afraid of wet noses in my face. Looks cute and fun.

Nice smile on her/him,cute puppy.

what's a dogo?

[blonndee]

14. Dogo Argentino (Argentinian Mastiff)

http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/dogo.htm

Frankie has the spots, the color, everything, except she's so SMALL! Not only is she only 40 lbs full grown, but she's small-boned. It's been a mystery trying to figure out what she is.

[uppityperson]

16. Thank you. She looks like a sweety.

Energy and cuddles, alternating?

[flvegan]

17. I'm sure you've read up on the breed.

Fantastic, fabulous (and misunderstood due to their limited exposure here) breed that the Dogo is. Great, great dogs. You have an absolute prize there. I think that the 40 lbs size is just in the breeding.

You have many years of happy times with this pup, I bet. Even full-breed Dogos from perfect lines might only get to 70 lbs, or so. It's just 70 lbs of Dogo, that's the difference.

Man, I nailed this one. Sorry, but I do like knowing my breeds.

[blonndee]

18. I really hope you're right.

I love my baby. She's a handful, but the thing I love about her the most is that she LOVES everyone, human or canine, and has such an enthusiastic outlook on life. Everything is an adventure, every day is a new day ripe with opportunity. It sounds silly, but she's really been an inspiration to me in this way. Frankie is the consummate optimist.

[flvegan]

19. How old is Frankie now?

[blonndee]

20. About 3 in May.

I got her from the pound in May 04 and she was about 3 mos. old then. I can't believe we've been together almost 3 years now! Like I said, I have NEVER seen her show any signs of being angry, even when we went through basic obedience school. We need some more schooling, though. She was the star pupil and loved it...we just have to take those lessons home. Hah.

[flvegan]

24. Yeah, you got yourself a

smaller bred Dogo. Damn smart dogs, too. Great with kids, great with people (not the best with other dogs unsupervised, though). The "White Mastiff" is an incredible, wonderful dog. Nice thing about them, like most mastiff breeds, they don't know anger. It's quiet confidence. The Dogo doesn't get angry. Example...someone breaks into your house. Likely, there'll be no barking. Nah, waste of time. The mastiff lets the person IN the house, but doesn't let the person back OUT.

And, as I'm sure you know, they LOVE it when you scratch them on their spots!

Good work on the pound rescue, too. Lots of folks pass up the bully-looking kids.

15. BACK YOU FIEND! BACK!

Stay away from my throat! Aaaaiiiiiiiiiii!


what a cutie!

[qnr]

21. Yeah, something nefarious is going through its doggy mind in pics 3 & 4... scary! It's

goona try and con me out of treats & head scritches... I can feel it in my gut.

[wildhorses]

22. with eyes like that NO FUCKING WAY!!

what a beautiful doll baby of a dog:hi:

[blonndee]

26. Thanks wildhorses

She's a doll but my boys are saying she ain't that special...heh...

[philosophie_en_rose]

23. Yes. It is clearly a big mighty scary dog.

All little dogs have inner big bad wolves.

At least, my terriers say so. :)

[Oeditpus Rex]

25. Are these scary-looking people?

The one in the red hat — that's Bob. He's a pharmacist.



It's all in the perception.

[BarenakedLady]

27. Not in the least!

I'd like to give him/her a great big hug and a kiss.

I need a doggie cuddle RIGHT NOW!

[GoddessOfGuinness]

28. She looks like she's smiling in pic #3

:D

[Nicole]

29. Yes!

I think that dog could force me to sit all day & cuddle. :rofl:

[xchrom]

30. oh. my. god. -- i'm in love!

and that last pic nailed it.

that do is so cute -- makes my teeth ache.

[Mutley]

31. Ha! No, he's adorable.

What a great smile. :D
