My brother came over today, and he brought over his dog, he has a very very lean 260 pound Bullmastiff, English mastiff Rottweiler mix the dog is really sweet. But for some reason my four 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 he’s pretty lean too, 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?
The border collie has the exact same potential to injure her that the mastiff has, both dogs would never hurt to fly but I’m just saying that this fact never scared her with the border collie.
Both dogs were introduced the exact same way, both dogs are bigger, and both dogs are much much stronger than my daughter, both dogs bark, both dogs drool here and there, both dogs pants and stick their tongue out, both dogs show affection by licking , both dogs wag their tail, etc. and when the border collie was a complete stranger my daughter didn’t let any of this get to her whatsoever, but she is with the mastiff, and I’m not understanding why. Everyone kept mentioning the size and strength of the dog but like I just said, the border collie is Bigger, and definitely a lot stronger than my daughter, this doesn’t bother one bit
