Neo mix

Hi all!
Quick question; I have been asked to take on a neo mix puppy. 75 % neo and 25% cane corso.
Two strong breeds...I have long experience in mastiffs and dogue de bordeaux but do not want to take on more than I can handle. Anybody have any experience in this type of mix?
The parents are very well tempered

She is adorable.
I think you should be qualified for a pup like this, at least you don't have to break in an older rescue that may have learned a lot of bad habits, you will get to teach her all the new bad habits ;)

I agree - as a young puppy, it's more about what new habits you get to teach, versus bad habits you have to un-teach.
You should be in good shape with that little cutie!!

Especially since the parents have good temperaments - I think that's a HUGE plus in the puppy's favor!

Thank you all!
Yes, she is still with her mother and the rest of the litter.

I keep telling myself that since she is a puppy I have all possibility to teach good habits (and bad!)
I am just a bit concerned about mix breeding. But than again the mix is between two simular dogs...
I have met crosses of border collie/dogo argentino and husky/fila/doberman and those two dogs where wrecks.

well, i have a pack that's 66% neo and 33% corso or so, lol... Just joking.
However, if any of my girls will have puppies with Jack (over my dead body) I'll ask you for advice. :)

I've had several wonderful pups that were mutts and several pure breeds that were also wonderful . Breeding is no full guarantee of temperament. Likely issues, yes. Usual deportment, yes. Bad breeding doesn't automatically make a bad dog. Training is key. Sometimes pure breeds are too in bred. Some of the worst dogs I've ever met were well pedigreed, as are some of the best. Same with Heinz 57 mutts.

Thank you all!
Yesterday I put down a payment on her and are going to pick her up october 3 after her vet check and shots (almost doing a pom-pom dance with my cleaning towels)

Got a new picture of her yesterday :)

Apperently she is the most cuddly puppy in the litter.
