Do Neopoltian Mastiffs get along with other breeds and do they tolerate cold weather such as snow ?
Short coated dogs weren’t bred for cold weather, they don’t move very fast so don’t generate much heat. Coats can be bought and bootees. Cold weather outside can mean dry heat inside and skin conditions can arise. Short nosed, they suffer from heat extremes also. Any dog, if introduced to others as a puppy or an older dog with the right training, should get along with other dogs it is introduced too. Some might never get along with another animals no matter what you do. The temperament and training, patience and reading up on a breed before you buy it and taking the time to find a good breeder goes a long way to having a good dog and a rewarding relationship between owner and pet. Go to petfinder.com if you want to find such a dog in need of a home. There are rescue groups specific to the breed of dog. They can often offer information as to the problems of such breeds (hip dysplasia, skin conditions, eye problems), and why they are turned in. Larger breeds have as a rule, shorter life
