GENERAL INFORMATION / FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
GENERAL INFORMATION / FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
EXERCISE: THEY REQUIRE MINIMAL EXERCISE-JUST SOME TIME OUTSIDE ROMPING,OR LOVE TO GO ON SHORT WALKS.
GROOMING: NEO'S HAVE A SHORT SMOOTH COAT-NO REAL GROOMING REQUIRED-JUST OCCASIONAL BATH,OCCASSIONAL
BRUSHING.
BRUSHING.
DROOL: THEY DO. DEPENDING ON HOW ;TYPEY' A NEO IS (TERM REFFERING TO HOW MUCH EXTRA SKIN/DROOP THEY
HAVE,AS WELL AS BONE MASS/WIDTH,PARTICULARY IN THE FACE/MOUTH REGION,DETERMINES JUST HOW 'DROOLY THEY ARE.
TYPICALLY,ITS ONLY BAD WHEN THEY EAT/DRINK,OR PANT.

TYPICALLY,ITS ONLY BAD WHEN THEY EAT/DRINK,OR PANT.
LIFE SPAN: "AVERAGE" LIFE SPAN IS -10 YEARS (SIMILAR TO ALL LARGE BREEDS).
HOT ISSUES: HERE'S THE 'HOT' ISSUE WITH NEO'S: THEY ARE AN ALPHA BREED WITH STRONG GUARDING CHARACTERISTICS.AS
SUCH, THEY ARE NOT THE BREED FOR EVERYONE.AN OWNER MUST BE COMFORTABLE ESTABLISHING LEADERSHIP(LEADER OF
'THE PACK') WITH HIS NEO-TEACH YOUR NEO (FROM PUP ON)THAT YOU(AS A HUMAN) ARE THE ALPHA/DOMINANT.THIS ISN'T
USUALLY A PROBLEM,AS IN GENERAL,A NEO JUST WANTS TO BE WITH YOU,LOVED BY YOU,ETC. ALTHOUGH,IT NEEDS TO BE
KEPT IN MIND,AS A PUP GROWS,NIP BAD BEHAVIORS IN THE BUTT, BEFORE THEY BECOME PROBLEMATIC. IF YOU AREN'T
EXPERIENCED WITH TRAINING LARGE DOGS, I WOULD RECOMMEND OBEDIENCE TRAINING(BOTH YOU AND PUP).

GUARDING CHARACTERISTICS: THIS- WHEN PROPERLY MOLDED, IS A GOOD THING. HOWEVER, WITHOUT
MOLDING/TRAINING,CAN LEAD TO AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR. AGGRESSION IN A 100+ POUND DOG IS A BAD THING. EARLY AND
ONGOING SOCIALIZATION WITH PEOPLE AND OTHER ANIMALS IS THE KEY. WITH EARLY AND ONGOING SOCIALIZATION, NEO'S
LEARN TO BE ACCEPTING OF STRANGERS. WE HAVE LOTS OF COMINGS AND GOINGS. OUR NEO'S ANNOUNCE THE ARRIVAL OF
NEWCOMERS (BARK),DO A QUICK CHECK(SNIFF),AND GO ON ABOUT THEIR BUSINESS. THEY ARE LOOKING FOR CUES FROM
US...'IS THIS NEWCOMER OK?' THE KEY IS SOCIALIZATION.

CRATE TRAINING: I KNOW IT'S HARD...STICK WITH IT. A FEW ROTTON NIGHTS NOW, AND YOU'LL BE THROUGH IT. A NEO PUP IS
GOING THROUGH A LOT OF ADJUSTMENTS AT HIS NEW HOME....NO LONGER WITH LITTERMATES,ETC. THERE ARE SOME
TEDIOUS THINGS YOU CAN DO WITH THE CRATE TRAINING TO HELP ADJUST: MAKE IT A HAPPY PLACE FOR HIM DURING THE DAY,
FAVORITE TOYS IN THERE, GIVE HIM A TREAT TO COAX HIM INTO THE CRATE, LEAVE THE DOOR OPEN SO HE CAN COME AND
GO (DURING THE DAY), ETC. WE FOUND PUPS GO INTO THE CRATE MORE READILY WITH A COMFY DOGGY BED (PUPPY SIZE) IN
IT. YOU CAN THEN BRING OUT THE DOGGY BED DURING THE DAY TO GET HIM ACCUSTOMED TO THE BED BEING HIS, AND
RETURN IT TO THE CRATE AT NIGHT. SOME OF THESE IDEAS MAY HELP, BUT THE TRUTH IS....IT'S STILL GOING TO STINK AT
NIGHT FOR THE FIRST FEW NIGHTS. IF YOU BREAK DOWN, YOU LOSE GROUND. TRY TO STICK WITH IT.

DUE TO THE NEO'S SHORT MUZZLE-- THEY DO NOT TOLERATE HEAT WELL. THIS DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN'T HAVE THEM IN THE
HOTTER STATES, BUT THEY SHOULDN'T BE LEFT OUTSIDE DURING HOT WEATHER. SHORT MUZZLE ALSO MEANS THEY SNORE,
AND YOU GET USED TO IT AFTER A WHILE.
