question for Rodsue

Posted by JennyR on 4/6/2006, 3:09 pm

Rodsue I have a question for you about mastiff temperament. How protective do you think a Mastiff should be? Under what conditions do you think it is acceptable for a Mastiff to bite a human? Do you think that a mastiff with appropriate temperament should bite a friendly stranger who reached over its fence to pet it? I know these are hard questions to answer without having situations more clearly defined, but in general how aggressive do you think the “gentle giant” should be?
Thanks in advance for you thoughts.
