Hello
I am a long time lover of the mastiff breeds. We have owned or currently own Great Danes, Bullmastiffs, a Dogue, and now our newest addition a 10 month old Neapolitan. I thought I was prepared after raising our other beasts but "Bonnie" is not what I expected, lol. I was under the belief that a Neo would be slower and less athletic, all around more mellow and relaxed than a Dane. That is definitely not the case with our Bonnie. She is always amped, loves toys, almost never stops moving, and JUMPS, big time. That's the weirdest part for me. I expected training challenges with adopting an older pup, but she not only can jump up to get stuff off the counter but she can get over a nearly 4 foot tall baby gate, and today she jumped completely on top of our washer and dryer. She is also 110lbs and full of wrinkle, not a real athletic or cane corso looking Neo. We love her, she is also sweet as honey and wants to please. She really has a hard time being relaxed though and I am afraid of exercising her too much at this age. I would love suggestions from fellow mastiff owners
