Question Pit bull/mastiff mix info needed

Hi all,

My husband and I just acquired a pit bull/mastiff mix from a dear friend who recently passed away. So far Zeus seems to listen very well, has had no accidents or mishaps in our house and appears to be very loving. My question is does anyone know what we should expect in the future from this breed? Such as temperment, aggressiveness or just about any other info. We have an 18 month old grandson and to be honest we are just a little leary about having this type of dog around him. Should we be concerned? As you can tell, we don't know anything about this breed so any and all info will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks all!!!!!

Both breeds are supose to be people friendly by nature,but if the dogs are not breed to eachs standard you will not know what the temperment of your dog will be.
Mixing breeds is not always a good idea.

How old is this guy? No one can tell the exact temperment of a mixed breed because all mixed breeds are different. Although, both of those dogs are awesome and I love them both (hence my username... it is neapolitanpitbull meaning Neapolitan Mastiff Pit Bull because I love both mastiffs (esspecialy neapolitans!) and pit bulls). I am sure he will grow up to be an excellent dog. Good luck!

Default Pit bull/mastiff breed

Hi,

Zeus is 15 months old. Our friend (who passed away) got him when he was 8 months old. So he only had him for about 7 months. He is very well behaved and we have had no problems with him as far as behavior, listening or chewing. We have, on the other hand, discovered that my husband has allergies. We didn't know this until we got Zeus because we have not had any other animals for many years. I'm not sure what we're going to do but it really saddens me to think that we may not be able to keep him. I've grown rather attached to this gentle beast. I still am a little leary about having him around my grandson though. You just never know.

Thanks for the input.

Tami

Hi there

Mastiffs are very smart and loyal dogs. Very protective of their 'family' (owners and kids)!! Pit bulls can be aggressive if not trained and mistreated in anyway. My sister has 5 children and they had pitbulls. These can also be very loyal and protective of the people and house they live in. My sister's pitbulls were never ever a problem around the kids and half of kids were born after they got the dogs. Just watch your grandson jumping on him like a 'pony'!!! and also pulling the ears and tail and hitting the dog on the head.
