For the connoisseur, one who is prepared to give his dogue the training he needs,the amount of food with the correct exercise, and space he needs will have a devoted and intelligent companion whose sole interest will be to be with, and serve his human family !!! The dogue a dog for all purposes, war dog, cattle drover,a guard dog, a cart hauling dog, a bull baiting dog, and then a fighting dog. Yet despite his ancestry, the modern breed is a delight, a dog full of confidence, who is normally calm, not needing to prove himself. Even tempered, and devoted to his human family, but will not tolerate intruders. A softie with his friends, loves luxury.
