We don't show him, we just wanted a great family dog. His parents were pedigrees and dad is a champion.

Here is where we got him:

Quincy snacked on one of those once. Funny thing, 10 minutes later he was still hungry.

Did that thing come with a saddle? My goodness, it's poo piles must be the size of Lunchbox's Yorkie.

My 16 yr old daughter, absolutely loves him. And I mostly bought the dog for her. She loves walking in the woods. We had a great german shephard, but he was 12, and could barely walk around the house. I thought about putting him down, but couldn't bare to do it, loved her too much. Then my kids were out walking in the woods, and came across a mountain lion protecting a kill. My oldest did exactly what she was trained, and the little ones got behind her, and she made herself look big and backed up slowly, but scared the crap out of her and the rest of the kids.

They came home breathless, and it made me shudder. So I had toyed about a mastiff before, they are great defensive dogs, very protective, extremely loyal. I called the breeder, and got the mastiff, he was 6 mos old, and had to put down mowgli, the GS, she was in so much pain.

I remember calling the local wildlife dude up here, to tell him of the lion incident, neighbors told me I should. He said, take a shot gun. I told him I have my kids taking the dog with them on walks now. He said, "Bad idea, you are taking them lunch, it will attract them." I said, "Its a purebred mastiff, he said "That'll work".

Quincy is about 200 lbs now and actually sleeps in my daughters bed with her. She SHOVELS his crap every morning and takes care of him like a doting mother, and trains him. He is huge, but he loves to come in and watch movies with us. When he sees us hooking up the travel trailer, he gets all excited and starts barking, to make sure we don't leave him behind, he loves camping. When we take him camping, I can leave my whole trailer, and all my stuff, without worry. Just tie quincy and say goodbye. No one comes near it. He is seriously scary. Sometimes when ashley is walking him, cars will drive to the other side of the street. I don't have any concern when he is with the kids, he takes care of em.

Sorry so long, but there is another thread to the story of quincy. We got quincy 1 year after we adopted maddie (6) and thomas (3). Maddie was tough, and had many nightmares and issues, due to extreme neglect. She even had DAYMARES. She couldn't take a shower alone, thinking a mountain lion was going to come in and rip her up in the shower. Many of her nightmares involved mountain lions. The therapist felt it was just representing of her parents/family coming and finding her, and taking her back to her previous state.

When we got Quincy, she came to me and said, "Daddy, will quincy really protect me if a mountain lion comes?" I told her, "Absolutely, that is why I drove so far to get him, he will stay and fight the lion, even die, to protect you". She smiled, and walked away. She had no problem taking a shower anymore, and no more daymares. It was amazing, still some nightmares, but not about lions anymore. I don't think it was just quincy. It was a combination, of her 16 yr old sister putting herself between the lion and maddie, I think maddie thought she would get tossed first while everyone escaped, the fact she had been here a year, and was learning to trust us, and then the huge beast, Quincy, that she loved, loved her, and knew he would protect her.

So anyway, that is why we got the huge mastiff. Previously, I have always adored GS's. Quincy isn't as smart, but fiercely loyal and protective.

Ashley literally uses a snow shovel to clean his crap.

That yorkie looks pissed. While I'm not a big fan of yorkies (had a bad experience with one pissing all over my apartment), I would have to think that as far as yorkies go, 10 pounds is pretty good sized. Just curious, assuming that you don't let it feed itself on neighborhood dogs and children, what does it cost to feed something like Quincy?
