My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Dutch is a Great Dane / Neopolitan mastiff mix. He is 9 months old and has been in a family setting (with children) since 3 months old. He loves to play, always wants to be on your lap, and will miss you as soon as you stop petting him. We are rehoming him due to a mix of concerns combined with his size, our work schedules and his dominant behavior/nature. He has not been aggressive, however has been showing dominance traits in our family. He doesn’t listen unless it comes to use of a shock collar. He is stubborn and will defy you. He again has not been aggressive with other dogs but has been dominant and unpredictable. We have a 3 year old, and one concern is with some of his behaviors we don’t want to take a chance that he would nip at our son in a show of dominance. Dutch is well over 100 pounds. A mistake could be too costly. He drools and snores He is a great pet, but not for small children. We see this as a bad decision on our end as he is a good dog. Too strong willed for us
