What exactly is there to be scared the English mastiff over the border collie?
Y’all please be respectful to my question, I’m genuinely asking
My brother came over today, and he brought over his dog, he has a 260 pound English mastiff, the dog is really sweet. But for some reason my 6 year old daughter didn’t want to be anywhere near the dog. they have met before at my brothers house, she was afraid then also.
why is this? she adores dogs, we have a border collie and they get along and play together just fine, even on day one when I first brought the dog home. My dog and my brothers dog are identical to him. . But she is just really scared of the mastiff for some reason. of course I respect my daughter and I make sure she feels safe. But why is she like this?
why do some say a Rottweiler or a mastiff is easily able to knock over a toddler with a simple trivial tail wag, or by just walking past, or spinning around to say hello? Even so, our border collie can do the exact same thing. Why are they saying specifically these dogs when my border collie is fully capable of doing the exact same? But of course never will. .
My brothers dog has done nothing wrong. Why is she acting so scared of him? Like I said we have a border collie at home and they play together.
My daughter is so small that she has to physically look up at the border collie, when they stand side-by-side, she is eye level with the very bottom of his chin. And she can stand on her tippy toes and she will just barely be able to see eye to eye with him. and he’s just your average border collie, he weighs in at around 40 pounds and is way stronger than my daughter. and even from day one, she didn’t let the height strength and weight of the border collie get to her. So why is she so afraid of the mastiff? Both dogs are the exact same, introduced in similar ways and very similar temperament. In fact the border collie is much stronger than my daughter and she has to look up at him a tad to see him in the eye. Both dogs bark, both dogs stick their tongues out when they pant, etc. Yet she adores the border collie but is really scared of the English mastiff What is there to be scared of exactly with the mastiff over the collie?
