   they missed their opportunity. Should have claimed they were bred to deal with Burmese pythons.

   I think that’s a Great Dane puppy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Cuccioloblu.JPG

     I think it’s a Neo. The feet are really screwy, which is something you see in Neapolitan mastiffs.

     They do look very similar to each other when they are younger, especially if the Neo isn’t going to be extremely exaggerated when it matures.

   They’re really cute as puppies. Too bad their features become so exaggerated when they mature.

   Burmese mountain dog (the link — which I thought was a misspelling of Bernese mountain dog) is a new one on me. I find it hard to believe there’s a dog specialized for hunting skunks, or ‘magic fur’ that can be de-skunked with a rinsing out. Is someone pulling my leg?

     It’s totally a joke. When first saw an ad for Burmese mountain dogs in a classied ad, I nearly died. I didn’t know someone thought to come up with a spoof like that one.

   The Youtube link to this one offered some additional pieces on Neapolitans. These dogs appear to have beautiful personalities inside all that “stuff”. Its a damn shame people had to ruin them.
