im trying to make a bigger breed of dog (besides a mastiff and a greatdane any advise?

Answer 1

Labadors are the sweetest dogs ever and so fun. Irish setters are great to.

Answer 2

Try crossing a irish wolf hound with a mastiff or great dane. Use a english mastiff. Do reading on large breeds. Check out what problems each breed as try using breeds that don't have the same health problems. What you are trying to do will cost a lot of money and will take years to get a stable breed. People who do this have study for years even gone to school abd still never get what they want.

Answer 3

Forget it.
There are plenty of really good giant breeds. When you breed for size, you endanger the whole structure and soundness of a dog. It usually leads to bone cancers, back problems, leg unsoundness, or hip dysplasia, etc.
Best to just dream of your giant dog, and leave the breeding alone.

Breeders were trying to breed a giant size of my breed. They really messed up the breed that was perfect as it was. Now, we are breeding to undo the damage that has crept in to the bloodlines.

Breeding for giantism never works for long. The breed breaks down after just two or three generations.
It takes a minimum of 27 years to develop any new breed from crosses. And to do it that quickly would be a full time job.

in user-friendly terms a concept..why do no longer you're taking a glance at getting a Grand Pyranees? A purebred could be safer than attempting a breeding software once you're uncertain of the outcomes.as many undesirable issues, at the same time with hip dysplasia are a great danger. verify your community shelters and humane societies first..you ought to offer a sturdy domicile to an undesirable dogs.

Answer 5

There are plenty of really big dogs, Great Pyrenees, Irish Wolfhound, St. Bernard. And do you know what they all have in common? They usually don't live more than 6-8 years and the often have severe hip and elbow problems. A dog should not be bred too big - it's unnatural and will cost them their health.

Answer 7

You sound like Frankenstein! Trying to make? How are you planning to do this? Buying pure breeds and mating them>? Expensive experiment! Just by asking this question I would doubt your ability to handle this task. Give this a little more thought!

Answer 8

Irish Wolfhound?

Answer 9

Don't do it. You're asking for a bunch of unhealthy, sick pups. Hip dysplasia, bone /structure damage. I had a "bad" mastiff and it broke my heart to have to put her down @ 2 yrs. because of backyard breeding and severe hip dysplasia, spinal problems, knee, leg, elbow problems. She was HUGE and beautiful and a real mess physically. It never showed up till about 6 months of age. Please don't do it.
