This is the best Dogumentary I've seen as far as Neapolitan Mastiffs. His description is spot on, rules, socialization and enjoy this wonderful breed. He nails it, totally. I had a Blue Neo he was wonderful. I miss my friend Baloo.
I had a neo back in 1986. His mother and Father were Italian imports. His Name was NERO. He did well in the show ring. He was even in Dog World magazine back then. I miss him dearly. This documentary is RIGHT ON about Neos. He was highly intelligent and emotional. He was an incredible guard dog with a commanding bark and ferocious growl at times. He would do anything to protect me and all I had to do was to let him know that this person was OK and he would be nice and play with anyone who was a friend. NERO was a great companion and I will always love and miss him very much.
Picked up a Neo Mastiff from the pound (He was abandoned due to arthritis) and he's a lover. Mastiff are honestly the perfect dog for laidback people because they're laidback people...
the only fantastic feature that he possesses is the guard instinct...the temper is castrated and his movements are difficult... is not a dog,is a monster
Love my Mastiff. He is 5 min old and already weighs 70 pounds. Very loving dog. He is my indoor dog. I live alone so he is my savior!! Exactly what I wanted.
Thank god someone recognises that PEOPLE need to be trained, don't just approach all excited, the dog doesn't know you. If only people would listen. Respect
Great job Marcus...awesome breed...I owned 3 and was very active in breed for a lot of years but please be advised...they look cool and they make the cutest puppies but this breed IS NOT for everyone and definitely not for 1st time dog owners. To many of them end up in Neo rescue because that cute little puppy that you fell in love with turns into a giant 150 plus behemoth of a dog that is just to much dog to handle. If you are a neat person and don't like slobber on your furniture and clothes..keep on looking..not the breed for you. They can also get pretty stinky if you do not keep up with their bathing. Yes, that goes for a lot of dogs but Neos take it to a whole different level...trust me on this. Trust me...I'm not throwin' shade on the breed...I love them...they can be an awesome pet but you have to seek out the full skinny on this breed before making a purchase and because I do love the breed, I try to keep it 100. Also....there are pretty significant health issues in the breed so make sure you research TOP NOTCH BREEDERS...I learned the hard way...I was naive and bought my 1st Neo from a glorified pet store. Awesome temperament in her...not much type and on the smaller side but I spent $1000's on keeping her healthy. Lots of back yard breeding done on these dogs..you've been warned. Socialization is PARAMOUNT for this breed...especially intact males...take them everywhere with you when they are pups and have been fully vaccinated and vet checked. Different sights, sounds, smells, people...exposure 101. lol The more they see the better dog you'll have. Trust me, you'll never be able to over socialize this breed...they are estate guard dogs..it's knee deep in their blood. If every they need to step up...trust me...they will. One of my boys used to patrol the perimeter of my yard a few times a day. He was never interested in anything that happen beyond the perimeter line but if you crossed over onto the property without an introduction...that was yo ass. lol Like I said...this is a formidable breed. In the right hands its an awesome breed but if your clueless on large breed guard dogs...they can be your nightmare and worst someone else's nightmare which then becomes your nightmare. Enjoy. Sorry so long but there is lots to say regarding this breed....mostly good...for the right person/family.
You described my old boy exactly. He wouldn't ever leave his 1.5 acre area without me but patrolled it all and he didn't play games if you came in his yard uninvited. One time the neighbor accused my dog of pooping in his yard and i know it wasnt him because of the road between our houses my dog wouldn't cross. i said im sorry picked it up n left and as i did the neighbor followed me and said he would shoot the dog if he found it on his land. I had some things to say after that all the while neighbor is following me to my yard. The second i came onto my property my neo was next to me leaning on my leg and had a low rumble of a growl i will never forget. The neighbor stopped dead in his tracks and started to play nice and walk back to his yard. If I would have given the dog encouragement he would have tore that fucker up but then my dog n myself would be in trouble. Neighbor later dropped a note in my mailbox apologizing. Hold your big gentle protectors tight. I sure do miss mine
This dog is disgustingly smart. It is literally like having a sassy two year old. You say "no!" and she talks back. She lets out little howls and barks. She will only do something I command if there is something for her to gain. She loves other dogs and little dogs she will lay down to be on their level.
Difficult to stop thinking of them. Mine passed away yesterday night, peacefully. What a wonderful race, I've learned so much, my biggest regret is not having suitable floors for him to lay down. Those elbows can get swollen. Rest in peace my beautiful giant.
I rescued my Neo when she was 4yo, no-one can come onto my property or in the house, she is the most aggressive but also the most loveable, clownish dog I have ever had.I leave her with my elderly Mum when I go to work or go out with friends and she's fine with her, but Mum has no fear of her and the dog respects that, my other family members however have shown fear so the dog senses that and they ring ahead so I can lock her away. She is not as heavily fleshy as most that have seen at shows are, she is very laid back unless she's on guard, she will eat anything left around where she can get it, slobbers everywhere, I have cleaned slobber off the ceiling, she has a great nose, is very intuitive and picks up new commands very quickly. Personally I don't recommend this breed to novice handlers, but I definitely recommend them as a breed, I only hope their health issues, which are no more than any other giant or large breed, are focussed on and eradicated soon.
i own a neo and everything you say is true - pros and cons. our dog is 5 years old, intelligent, super affectionate, highly protective - but you have to show'em whose boss very early (as puppies) because of their strength, you will need to be the one in control. I always feel safe with my neo by my side.
I feel in love with the breed when my mom's then bf invited us to stay with him at his friend's house (when I was a kid) while he helped his friend build a shed. The friend had an adult female. She was suspicious of me for the first 2 days, then she was fine. She was completely cool after and almost immediately warmed up to me. She even followed me around the whole time I was there. Female Neos are very into kids, they like kids once they know they are ok to be there. I was fascinated by this dog that looked like a gargoyle. :)
MAGNUM 12 The day after we brought him home, he came down with kennel cough. By 11 weeks old he had cherry eye in his left eye. By 13 weeks old he had it in the other. Got him at PetLand of Topeka, KS.
I love this breed ..I have a female Bullmastiff now Rosie ..her nature is very much like you discribe in the Neopolitans.Rosie is getting on in years I'm looking to find a Neopolitan.Great video thank you.
Ive always owned british bulldogs..but since having my two daughters have thought of getting a Neo..not only are they gorgeous the fact that they dont require much exercise can be indoors happily just like a bully..really appeals
I've got two English Mastiffs and a Neapolitan Mastiff. They are just very lovable dogs they'll come and lay down on your lap while your sitting on the coach. They're very clumsy dogs but I've got a two year old sister and a 5 yr old brother and our dogs are very gentle with them. And how clumsy they are they've never stepped on the kids no matter when they're running around the house or jumping off the couch. I would definitely recommend getting these dogs. They are strong dogs but don't seem to go after dogs but they do get excited. These dogs absolutely slobber a lot it'll get over the walls so wash off the walls every now and then lol but my oldest English mastiff is 11 and my cat and him absolutely love each other. The younger dogs like my 2 yr old English mastiff and my 3 yr old Napoleon are still maturing and tend to scare the cat lol
Back in history they were Roman Legions war dogs, and Alexander the great had lots of them . They are really easy guys, they snore, drool, farts like hell, but they always keep a guardian dna, and i don't recommend any one to mess with them in case of fire
I had tolook after one of these beauties at a kennels I worked at and she'd watch my back as I did my job and when a spoilt old English sheepdog used to bark at me as I passed she'd tell him to shut up. She was a true gentle giant. I'd give her a little walk arouna small fiekd and she'd follow me everywhere. I do hope she got the wonderful home she so deserved. Her name was Floppy. I didn't name her btw. She was a big girl. Beautiful inside and out. The classic wrinkly blue colour.
I lost my Pack of Happiness, *Jingle *my neo mastiff 7 yrs. baby 2 months ago. ..😢Living with Neo is allways memorable. ..You can't forgot them life time. .❤
If you don't want an indoor dog don't get a neo. These dogs really enjoy being with they're masters they are giant sized pocket dogs mine doesn't even eat if i'm gone so really think about it other then that they are awesome loving dogs.
Excellent video. Extremely informative. I've had Akitas in the past, but need a dog better suited to the indoors and strangers. Lower energy is a huge plus, too.
I love this breed, had two for almost 13 years, sadly they past aways without giving me any pups...I recomend as a veteran best companion ever and it match my size...thinking of getting two more but I suffer a lot when they died, almost a year an my heart still hurts
Keep the folds under the mouth clean . Helps tremendously with the mouth pimples . Don't let them drink out toilets or dirty bowls . Those folds are bacteria breeding grounds .
Cane Corso what is wrong with you people??, please educate yourself on these beautiful animals for the love of God, Cane Corso is an Italian Mastiff, wow!!!
read it!!! there should be a law against breeding this breed of all Mastiffs in America, we are stupid when it comes to all Mastiffs, I would never buy this breed here, I would go where they came from to get one, this man is wrong these dogs can be around ANYONE!!! again educate yourself before you or anyone else in America wants to talk to me about this breed and THAT IS WHAT THE F I'M TALKING ABOUT!!
THANK YOU SO LOOK MUCH. I LOVE THAT DOG!!! THE INFORMATION ON THIS IS GREAT. NOW, I HAVE DONE MY HOMEWORK. I NEED A BIGGER PLACE. ONCE AGAIN THANKS!!!!!!!!
I have a standard wire hair dachshund and someone in the neighborhood has one of these dogs. The 2 have known each other since they were puppies and don't like each other. Twice recently the Mastiff had come over and stood over my dog to dominate him and my 27 pound dachshund doesn't back down and bares his teeth and goes right at the mastiff. I don't know why they didn't like each other.
Lucky for you it is drool and just size you deal with. I have the total opposite. Fast running, snake hunting ,pack oriented dogs. Used for woodland and farm protection. We all have an ups and downs with breed.
Very informative. Thanks. QUESTION: Any problem with a 3 y.o. female cattle dog coexisting with a female neo puppy to be raised with the cattle dog? FACTS: I have a nearly 3 y.o. female blue heeler. I have 2 acres fenced with a cattle fence and gates. My cattle dog, who sleeps in my bedroom, is outside before dawn and after sunset so I worry about coyotes. I'm thinking about getting a neo to keep her company and as coyote protection. My wife's male Malinois recently died of old age. She lives 65 miles away and we visit each other on weekends. Because she's going to get another male Malinois, I thought I'd get a female Neopolitan. Hence, my question whether a 3 y.o. female cattle dog will get along with a female neo puppy that will be raised with the cattle dog?
i like your documentaries they are really great top quality and not enough people make new content for dog lovers! REQUEST: Can you please make some videos on Weimaraners? I know there is a lot of Weimar lovers on here that will watch it!
Have a little caution though because they can be a bit stubborn and can figure out that they are stronger than you. All dogs will love you and protect you but all dogs want to be the alpha. And a neo is too big a dog to think it is the alpha
I owned one. Quite a powerful dog. Not some dog you want to mess with. Massive, protective, and loyal. Amazing. Mine would kill to keep her family safe. Love you Rain, see you in heaven one day. 💛💙💜💚
Rotties came into my yard and tried to attack me an my neo, he ripped the ears off one and ripped the face of the other. He's my good boy, he did what he should have done.
Great interview, but I'll tell you this Zeke if this guy says he's been breeding Neos for as long as he has then he is part of the problem this breed is having issues. Before the AKC started getting involved with the breed in 1970, you didn't see these overly exaggerated features. They need to breed these dogs with less wrinkles and better bone structure. The vet bills that come with these dogs is horrible. The working line neos are so agile and can move.
Аполон the most I've found is a few and I had to google working line neopolitan mastiffs. They were pretty much built like Cane Corsos with a lot of wrinkles in the face. This is why it is always important to do proper research before buying any breed. and i love the neos but this is what will happen to the american bully if they keep going the way they are.
You forgot to mention 2 key things, 1. Because they are giant breed dogs, they can't have heavy exercise until they are 2 yrs old due to their frames still growing. They will have structural/ bone issues. 2. They, due to being a large dog, they can get bloat, which is contorted/twisted stomach. DON'T feed them a big meal then exercise them, that's what causes it! Any dog with a barrel stomach can get it. Even dogs as "small" as a Boxer. It can be fatal. Especially if the dog had bloat previously. Only can be fixed via emergency surgery. Also, due to them being large, they can have something called Hip Dysplasia, where the ball of the joint (hips) don't fit into the socket. That, too, can also only be cured via surgery. Ok, now were done with the major issues, now the minor, only one really, something any dog with wrinkles on their heads can get this, Entropin. or curling in of eye lashes. That, too, is surgically corrected. Rotties can get that, too. BTW. Also, because of their having wrinkles, they can get skin infections, you will have to clean the wrinkles and folds every day. Much like a Bulldog/Shar-Pei. Plus, they can't take heat very well, not a dog to exercise in 65+F degree weather. Think that's about it.. I love Neos, one of my fav giant breed dogs. If you take care of their health, you will have a great dog for about 10-11 yes, there abouts.
I think that, they are adoarble big creature. If I had the space, time and financial expenses, needed for their keep; honestly I would enjoy having one in the home.
I would love to own a Neo but the medical costs can be high. They often need an eye surgery and other health issues can abound with that breed. Still, they are awesome guard dogs and they look so beastly.
I have a Neapolitan mastiff and he is one in 3 months old I also know there is two French bull masters who live around the corner for me which is pretty terrifying They're both males they don't seem to like my dog the French bull mastiff I'm a bit worried I just wondered if you could help me with this because it's quite quite concerning they've approached my dog twice so far I seen him walking around the street with no lead it's quite scary to know that these dogs can hurt each other They're both they're all three males my my male or massive and there's two other French people mastiffs that can be very terrifying I just wondered how I can deal with this could you help me please thank you
such a beautiful and interesting/different breed! I love all mastiff's. I currently have a dogue and a cane corso. my dogue is super lazy and my corso just wants to walk for days and days lol. for my next dog I am VERY interested in getting a neo 😻🐶😍😍😍 p.s great video keep them coming!! 😊💓💓 && I love the passion you have for the neo's Curtis!! ☺
Now i have a Neapolitan mastiff in home.. which is like a family member.. Now 70days old... Already done vaccination and everything... Please the food for Neapolitan mastiff... Please

What is there lifespan typically??
He’s describing the show neo, definitely get different info for the working lines
This breed is disgusting.

Picked up a Neo Mastiff from the pound (He was abandoned due to arthritis) and he's a lover. Mastiff are honestly the perfect dog for laidback people because they're laidback people...
They're not people
I honestly don't care how the dog looks I just really like their temperament
Charlie And Lola and Hazel too! Your right I had a Heinz 57 but it was the best dog I’ve had for loyalty
the only fantastic feature that he possesses is the guard instinct...the temper is castrated and his movements are difficult... is not a dog,is a monster
congratulation,in 2 different comments you did proved your ignorance...this monsters in battle would have died after 20 seconds
Yeah but the dog cares how it looks because it has health problems and that surely comes first
They are love able and will fight for you💙😴I love all three of mines😌😌
Love my Mastiff. He is 5 min old and already weighs 70 pounds. Very loving dog. He is my indoor dog. I live alone so he is my savior!! Exactly what I wanted.
Five _minutes_ old?!? And 70 pounds?
This doesn't sound right
@@vladmordekeiser1054 they meant 5 months old I think.
Thank god someone recognises that PEOPLE need to be trained, don't just approach all excited, the dog doesn't know you. If only people would listen. Respect

There are no working Akita kennels in my area.
+Dogumentary TV thx! I figured that, I've been trying to find one for years!!
Dogumentary TV can you please do all about living with a bullmastiff
Back in history they were Roman Legions war dogs, and Alexander the great had lots of them . They are really easy guys, they snore, drool, farts like hell, but they always keep a guardian dna, and i don't recommend any one to mess with them in case of fire
I would shit my pants calling into any house and seeing one of these, friend or foe
I'd rather see a neo than a polmaranian / puddle . I've had more issues with irresponsible owners and little dogs when doing calls .
I had tolook after one of these beauties at a kennels I worked at and she'd watch my back as I did my job and when a spoilt old English sheepdog used to bark at me as I passed she'd tell him to shut up.

Wow! My dad just bought a Neapolitan mastiff she's called neo I'm 11 I haven't met her yet but I will on Christmas Eve
Taya Wilson how is she?
How is Neo going?
@@vladmordekeiser1054 probably drooling, has loads of disease due to health conditions. Extremely unhealthy breed.
@@namesurename4066 is it?
@@vladmordekeiser1054 no, they're not to that extent at all! I've had neo mastiffs before, extremely tough dogs
I have a Neo/French Mastiff cross 9 months old and already very protective.
BTW, just to let you know just how big these dogs get, a man's belt can fit around an adult Neo's neck.

Very informative. Thanks.
QUESTION: Any problem with a 3 y.o. female cattle dog coexisting with a female neo puppy to be raised with the cattle dog?
FACTS: I have a nearly 3 y.o. female blue heeler. I have 2 acres fenced with a cattle fence and gates. My cattle dog, who sleeps in my bedroom, is outside before dawn and after sunset so I worry about coyotes. I'm thinking about getting a neo to keep her company and as coyote protection. My wife's male Malinois recently died of old age. She lives 65 miles away and we visit each other on weekends. Because she's going to get another male Malinois, I thought I'd get a female Neopolitan. Hence, my question whether a 3 y.o. female cattle dog will get along with a female neo puppy that will be raised with the cattle dog?
i like your documentaries they are really great top quality and not enough people make new content for dog lovers! REQUEST: Can you please make some videos on Weimaraners? I know there is a lot of Weimar lovers on here that will watch it!
I miss my Neapolitan blue mastiff. She was the best.
This is a majestic and amazing dog. Wish I could meet your Neo
Have a little caution though because they can be a bit stubborn and can figure out that they are stronger than you. All dogs will love you and protect you but all dogs want to be the alpha. And a neo is too big a dog to think it is the alpha
Very thorough and informative!
I loved the video. How do you start training these big beautiful dogs? I'd like to see a video about that from a dog man like him :)
I owned one. Quite a powerful dog. Not some dog you want to mess with. Massive, protective, and loyal. Amazing. Mine would kill to keep her family safe. Love you Rain, see you in heaven one day. 💛💙💜💚
Great review. Thanks for sharing!
Rotties came into my yard and tried to attack me an my neo, he ripped the ears off one and ripped the face of the other. He's my good boy, he did what he should have done.
Well done, really enjoyed it thank you.
Awesome breed, like no other!
that Knacker sack swinging😂
A good Video again. A really good Video about Neapolitan Mastiffs. Thank you.
Do some bull terrier please
love this breed!

Need to start breeding the working Neapolitans more
Great interview, but I'll tell you this Zeke if this guy says he's been breeding Neos for as long as he has then he is part of the problem this breed is having issues. Before the AKC started getting involved with the breed in 1970, you didn't see these overly exaggerated features. They need to breed these dogs with less wrinkles and better bone structure. The vet bills that come with these dogs is horrible. The working line neos are so agile and can move.
Agreed, The Original is 'Cane Da Presa Meridionale'!
AJ The dogman Can you point me towards examples of working Neos? Or breeders of them if any still breed them?
Аполон the most I've found is a few and I had to google working line neopolitan mastiffs. They were pretty much built like Cane Corsos with a lot of wrinkles in the face. This is why it is always important to do proper research before buying any breed. and i love the neos but this is what will happen to the american bully if they keep going the way they are.
AJ The dogman Do you know of any people that breed that line of Neo anymore?
Their are Neos with less wrinkles. Not these dogs in the film, unfortunately, but they do exist. An not just the females.
Would love to see a living with a saint Bernard video .
You forgot to mention 2 key things, 1. Because they are giant breed dogs, they can't have heavy exercise until they are 2 yrs old due to their frames still growing. They will have structural/ bone issues. 2. They, due to being a large dog, they can get bloat, which is contorted/twisted stomach. DON'T feed them a big meal then exercise them, that's what causes it! Any dog with a barrel stomach can get it. Even dogs as "small" as a Boxer. It can be fatal. Especially if the dog had bloat previously. Only can be fixed via emergency surgery. Also, due to them being large, they can have something called Hip Dysplasia, where the ball of the joint (hips) don't fit into the socket. That, too, can also only be cured via surgery. Ok, now were done with the major issues, now the minor, only one really, something any dog with wrinkles on their heads can get this, Entropin. or curling in of eye lashes. That, too, is surgically corrected. Rotties can get that, too. BTW. Also, because of their having wrinkles, they can get skin infections, you will have to clean the wrinkles and folds every day. Much like a Bulldog/Shar-Pei. Plus, they can't take heat very well, not a dog to exercise in 65+F degree weather. Think that's about it.. I love Neos, one of my fav giant breed dogs. If you take care of their health, you will have a great dog for about 10-11 yes, there abouts.
Love my Neapolitan Mastiff
my neo walks 8miles a week does not get tired and runs and plays well
I think that, they are adoarble big creature. If I had the space, time and financial expenses, needed for their keep; honestly I would enjoy having one in the home.
Plus I'm probably kind of biased the next dog I want to get is Neapolitan Mastiff but from a rescue not a breeder
Could you do living with a Greater Swiss Mountain Dog please? Would be awesome.
I would love to own a Neo but the medical costs can be high. They often need an eye surgery and other health issues can abound with that breed. Still, they are awesome guard dogs and they look so beastly.
If you get a good one, they won't have those issues
Avoid the show bred ones. They are bred for looks for one.
Great information. Thank you
I have a Neapolitan mastiff and he is one in 3 months old I also know there is two French bull masters who live around the corner for me which is pretty terrifying They're both males they don't seem to like my dog the French bull mastiff I'm a bit worried I just wondered if you could help me with this because it's quite quite concerning they've approached my dog twice so far I seen him walking around the street with no lead it's quite scary to know that these dogs can hurt each other They're both they're all three males my my male or massive and there's two other French people mastiffs that can be very terrifying I just wondered how I can deal with this could you help me please thank you
I have a napo mastiff XL american bully mix and he is great big and active
they really got big balls
Any advise on adopting a year old Neapolitan? We maybe adopting one. He is not fixed
Does anyone know where he gets those cool collars from?
love the channel
What purpose do these dogs serve? Its like they bred all of the energy and power out of a mastiff and gave it a bunch of health issues for aesthetics
Actually they are amazing guard dogs , literally a personal bodyguard
such a beautiful and interesting/different breed! I love all mastiff's. I currently have a dogue and a cane corso. my dogue is super lazy and my corso just wants to walk for days and days lol. for my next dog I am VERY interested in getting a neo 😻🐶😍😍😍
p.s great video keep them coming!! 😊💓💓
&& I love the passion you have for the neo's Curtis!! ☺
Lexy Commisso get a bullmastiff...these things drool too much
Drool party tho 😂😂
Now i have a Neapolitan mastiff in home.. which is like a family member.. Now 70days old... Already done vaccination and everything... Please the food for Neapolitan mastiff... Please
Cutest damn puppies of all the dogs.
I've wanted one of these for 20 years now. Unfortunately,I don't have the time to keep one yet.
They really need you around, especially when they are puppies
Is a good as service dogs for people that have postmatic stress syndrome and balance problems
+Dogumentary Tv Can you do an all about living with... featuring Siberian Huskies?
Is there any race like the Neapolitan mastiffs but not stubborn?
Cane corso
We have a silver neopolitan and a brindle and a mix
Good dogs like to play rough though and with their big size it can get sore
