This is Kronos he's 7 months old, but not far from 8. He's about 26 inches at the shoulder and about 95 pounds. He's 1/4 Great Dane, 1/4 APBT and 1/2 Neapolitan Mastiff. I'm very proud of him and how well he's taking to bite work, even at such a young age. I want to express my thanks to Lee for helping me so much with him, and with everything else. Especially considering he's not even one of your dogs, if there were more people like you in the dog business we'd all be better off.

He is a nice dog...and it is always a pleasure to work a good dog owned by a good person that is willing to learn bitework. You have been an excellent student so far. You are learning very quickly and have a good dog "nature" about you. IMO, you have what it takes to be successful with your goals. I know I have told you that I have worked your dog's sire several years ago. Here are some photo we took of him...although he was just 11 months old at the time these photos were taken. This dog also was produced by a dog that was 50GD/50APBT bred back to a pure Neapolitan. If you want these photos, just copy them. You are welcome to them.
And another...
And here is that dog's sire (Ike, the GD x APBT and your dog's grandsire)...This isn't the best photo of Ike, but it is the only photo I have. I liked Ike a lot. In fact, I was offered the oppertunity to purchase him, and if I didn't have so many males at that time I probably would have done so.

Wow, It's funny to see them so young when I met the sire he was 4 and the grand sire was 7. Kronos' sire has filled out a lot, especially his head. It's interesting how much the dane blood influinced his shape untill later in life, when the neo seems to "kick in". It gives me hope for Kronos thickening up nicely. | |
