I came across this video and just loved seeing their Dobermans perform! Just behaviorally, Aurelius seemed like a typical high energy Doberman that the host couldn’t manage to keep still, but you could tell she loved him, lol, who can deny their charming ways haha. Then the way he kept wriggling and moving while they were seated, yet he was super sweet with his handlers. I believe the guy went on to have his own channel and they sell these fully trained Dobermans (and other breeds) at a whopping price point...something like 30 to 50k - can’t recall now if I converted his price from euros or not. Either way, still a ton of money.
You're right. I guess 8 is what I've known so far. Wow, over 13 for Della's mom!
Your boyfriend there looks great! I love the nice big head. I do want to take a couple safety pins and lift up the flesh above his eyes though.I was out mowing this morning when my friend came by with my boyfriend!She said, you spoil him! I said, how do I do that? She said, you actually stop mowing just to say hello to him!
But of course!
I love that little guy!

View attachment 109527He's such a good boy. He just turned 6 the other day. I hope he lives a long time cuz I will be just as devastated as she will when he's gone!
At the beginning of the video when they were showing that scenario unfold with the person in the car being attacked, and he popped the trunk I hoped a Dobermann would jump out; but alas.I came across this video and just loved seeing their Dobermans perform!

Oh and the whining at the very start of the video
Haha, yes he is pretty wrinkly, isn't he?Your boyfriend there looks great! I love the nice big head. I do want to take a couple safety pins and lift up the flesh above his eyes though.
He is so sweet with you! I know you two have a bond. I wonder if he is lovey dovey with strangers though.
But even so, he still has many of the facial expressions of our Dobermans. And it was very hard in the beginning of Covid not come near each other. His face looks so sad. He just didn't understand. And it made me feel bad.
They have no children so perhaps she just isn't used to children.
So my question here is: Is this Bullmastiff not very socialized? Is that the reason for his defensive/protective-seeming behavior?
I'm not sure. They don't have any children. Maybe he was unsure of him. Or he thought he had to protect me or his owner who knows.
But she didn't care. I think she loved it! But the trouble is, he jumps on everybody else too. Without her holding the leash, that dog would have me on the ground. 
Not that he wants to hurt me. It's just his excitement. Even when I greet him in excitement I can tell I have to calm down because he's getting jumpy and over-excited. It's not like a little dog that you can go up to and say, 'hi cutie pie! How are you! What a cute little dog you are!!!' You know, in that little girl voice lol He just gets all Wiggly and jumpy and like a bulldozer LOL He did it to me today! I had to finally back off and say, SIT!!! And then calmly pet him and tell him, good boy, that's how you should sit. Nice and calm and then you get rewarded. But oh my God. LOL He can be a bulldozer and I often tell her I wonder how he would be if off the leash. She said, he would have you on the ground LOL And she's a toothpick herself. But more than 10 years younger than me and obviously stronger LOL. But even with the leash (rope! She uses the horse lead rope!) he drags her if he sees me! She can barely hold him back!
Oh yes. I've successfully trained two of my Dobermans to not jump up. With Oji? It's been largely a failure. But that's Oji.And I'll tell you, if you go with the bullmastiff or even something similar I guess, be sure they are trained in manners! My next door neighbor never cared about training her dog in things like jumping on you. He will jump on her and anyone else. I remember telling her in the very beginning that he should be trained not to do that.
Yes, I learned that from my neighbor when they got their first puppy.
Yeah, I totally know he's not being aggressive.Yes, I learned that from my neighbor when they got their first puppy.
And to be clear, he is not trying to hurt me. He's just huge and HEAVY! lol Not fat, heavy. Big bones on that guy! Man, he'll 'reach out' with his paw from a sitting position and if I don't catch it, it's a black and blue line down my thigh! Through my jeans! If I grab it, it feels heavy! He's such a sweetheart but really too much dog for me.
Kinda like this............especially the ending. Watch it. Hysterical! I love King of Queens!
Maybe a bit off topic, but not much.
This dog was a clown, but the most serious guard dog I have known when patrolling his domain.
No, you.Just get a Boerboel so I can watch how it goes for you. That way I can get a sense of if I truly want one in the future.
Unfortunately, the guy from Black Iron totally blew off calling me back like he said he would. (Or maybe just expects interested parties to pester him) Breeders.
