Default I am wanting a dog. I love large breeds.

whats best? mastiff? dane? wolf hound? or mabey another? I love big dogs. I had a mastiff in the past. Thought I might get something else this time around. I live alone although my girlfriend does have a young child that comes over sometimes. So defintly a breed that gets along with kids etc.

I would recommend Jindo dogs....They can be trained to be very friendly (mine was VERY friendly), but if you don't want to go with risks, get a golden retriever, as they are VERY children-friendly.But definitely check out the Jindo dogs!

Great Danes make wonderful pets. They are very gentle by nature. My sister has one and he is a love. The only thing is that Great Dane need to be keeped inside during extreme weather, because they do not have the coat or body fat to regulate their body temperature. They are great house dogs... Calm, sweet, loving and eager to please....And don't require a lot of exercise...

i have 2 dobermans with my male weighing over 100# at 10 months. he is very playful with my 6 year old grandaughter and is really alot of fun. he loves to play and we enjoy watching to see what he will do next. he is very easy to train and learned to open the back door by himself at an early age. good luck with whatever dog you get.

Out of big dogs I would say boxer bulldogs. They love kids and adults alike.

Do your research on any of them and remember... Large breeds do not live as long as smaller dogs. They can also suffer from al lot more ailments as well. I would suggest you go to a few dog shows and talk to some breeders. That is what I did before I brought home my two Bloodhounds and it made a world of difference.The best dog owners are educated dog owners...

You should do some serious research it is more important that their tempermant and needs match your life style than the size

I too am looking for a big dog. I was seriously looking at tosa inus. just need to know if they will be accepted in my neighborhood and state. (homeowners association is a pain some time) they are illegal in some states I hear. whatever. the only downside to this is I would have to adopt it from overseas. UNLESS there are some legit pure breeders out there in the states. I have read the history of this dog, along with some updated information. they seem to be very patient, quiet, LOYAL, brave, high tolerance for pain(just in case your girlfriend's daugther pulls his tail), etc. just a thought, dude!
