So he gains around 5-6 lbs a week. That's perfect. I think even if you keep him lean, he's going to be a very big guy. He's so cute. He has very expressive eyes.
Hey Tyler, I think Bane needs a baby Alabai brother. I think you would be good with a CAO.
He's so cute! I can't believe he weighs that much. No wonder he can't handle the heat. Great pic!View attachment 60814
He‘s struggling with the heat quite a bit. It‘s extremely humid around here. That‘s his favorite place for now (right in front of the house). He will be 9 months old in a week and weighs somewhere close to ~170lbs (32 inches tall).
They need moderate exercise. They actual decrease activity as they mature. So I would say a large well fenced yard to run around in, or 2 daily walks.
And I know what you mean about the food!
That‘s good to know. I‘ll definitely have to do more research on the breed (other than watching YouTube documentaries). Are they generally good with other dogs at home? Logan seems to be .
I wonder, is this something that anyone would really know until the dog comes into his/its temperament at maturity?

Right, probably not. I was just wondering, since I know that April has done a lot of research and her breeder is extremely knowledgeable too.
I was wondering too. I know very little about the breed. I just know that other breeds can change temperament at maturity, even with consistent training and socialization and you sometimes don't know until 2 years or so in.
Also meant to ask you the measurements of Banes neck. And do you find that it is consistently changing in size, as his weight is. Are you constantly having to adjust his collar.
It us constantly changing. We have gone through quite a lot of collars already. I haven‘t measured it in a while, but he probably isn‘t far from 30in.
That's big. Thanks. I'll keep that in mind when shopping for collars. Don't want to spend a lot on something that will be soon replaced. Do you have a favorite brand?
I know he's definitely a cutie in the bandana
We have been using different ones, but I did like Kong. In the future, we will probably get him a customized one. It just didn‘t make sense before because of the steady growth.
