Looking forward to seeing some pictures when his ears are up!  

abia astept sa vad niste poze dupa ce i se ridica urechile

The first pic i kept to visualize the forechest Casso will have, like Schwarzenegger..  

in a 3a poza am vrut sa se vada pieptul lui Casso, stil Schwartzenegger..

ohh...  I see...

No doubting his DDR look a like strength, although in comparrisson to Onyx at same age for sharpeness, I'd have to say he's not that defensive/suspicious towards strangers, but am probaly expecting too much too early..

I think most of us are tempted to do that...

Casso has indeed a very deep chest. Do you let him loose so he could play with other dogs..?

Casso are intr-adevar un piept f adanc. Ii dai drumul sa se poata juca cu alti caini..?

Dani i cannot believe the size of Casso, considering he has average parents... Proves that genetics works in mysterious ways, which i feel most breeders overlook when matching a worthy mating pair.. In regards to playing with dogs, well that footage was Casso's first introduction to canines in the busy city..
And he shows aggressive behaviour towards other dogs i have noticed, something which i should moderately correct..

Would be quite appropriate to let him free to play with other dogs. I don't think that he's agressive, he's just playing harder. Tara was the same when she was young, most pups owners that come in contact with her said that she was agressive, by the way she played. She kept this habit even after she grown, but I wasn't worried, not even a moment.

Ar fi indicat sa-l lasi liber sa se joace cu alti caini. Nu cred ca este agresiv, doar se joaca mai dur. Si Tara era la fel cand era mica, majoritatea proprietarilor de pui cu care intra in contact se speriau si spuneau ca e agresiva,dupa modul dur de joaca. Si-a pastrat acest obicei si dupa ce-a crescut, dar nu mi-am facut probleme.

I just dont feel it would benefit Casso, as my main concern would be him getting treated roughly from bigger dogs.. This then resulting in long term psycological issues as well as possibly effecting him physically (hips/elbows).. But your right he just wants to play, but not really comfortable from other dogs/owners unfortunately..

I know what you mean, had a similar experience with Ben. But what I'm thinking of is, playing with pups closer to his age, I am pretty sure that will help    Just let him loose in the presence of young pups, it also gives you yet another opportunity to analyze his behavior...

Stiu ce zici, am avut o experienta asemanatoare cu Ben. Dar eu ma refeream la joaca cu catei de aceeasi varsta (mai mult sau mai putin). Lasa-l liber in prezenta altor catei de varsta lui, asta iti da si ocazia sa-l mai analizezi putin..

Dani you suggest that Casso playing with young pups will help, would this be purely for anylizing his behaviour or would there be  other benefits also..
If it is in regards to dominance, well he shows very forward reaction when he sees other dogs, by tail going up like a big hook and growling like a Lion
I guess that i am applying the same raising methods as i did with Onyx, only that this time round am doing more early socializing with Casso, and hope that all this socializng pays off... Was just thinking of Santos/Bogdan and was wondering what approach they have when raising young pups ?

Analyzing his behaviour wold be an extra element, I'm talking socialization first and foremost; no direct contact with other pups / dogs could potentially lead to unwanted aggression, in my view
