Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hooch is a 75 pound 1 to 2 year old neutered Bull Mastiff/lab mix doggie. These dogs are known as Bullmasadors, a designer breed becoming popular in the US. He is a happy furry fellow very sweet and loving with all people including older children, according to the foster, while on walks in the neighborhood they passed many little kids playing, throwing balls, running, yelling and screaming and Hooch never paid any attention to them. Hooch loves to play and he is a snuggle and wet kissing fool. Hooch is a very calm well behaved furry person, he walks very well on leash, knows how to sit, stay and down on command. Hooch is house trained and crate trained, he may trynot going in the crate sometimes, but be form and he will. Hooch is a very dominant doggie, he does well with submissive dogs, specially with females see his videos:

Hooch is too smart to be permitted to misbehave, Hooch, requires a firm, yet loving training and guidance. To be Hooch’s adopter you must be one step tougher and smarter than him. Don’t think that tough means harsh or abusive. Hooch is very sensitive and will not deal well with rough treatment. Abusive treatment with Hooch will result in a dog with a broken spirit and or worse, an aggressive temperament, I am sure he will answer physical abuse with aggression.
Because of his size very small doggies may not be suitable. Other critters are out of the question with him, specially cats.
The Bullmasador breed is known for being:
Low Maintenance: Grooming is only necessary once in a while to maintain upkeep.
Minimal Shedding: This dog will shed a negligible amount. Recommended for owners who do not want to deal with dog hair in their cars and homes.
Good Watchdog Ability: This dog will bark and alert its owners when an intruder is present. If a situation escalates, the dog can be depended on to defend and protect its owner and family.
Very Active: It will need daily exercise to maintain its shape. Committed and active owners will enjoy performing fitness activities with this breed.
Difficult Training: Training will be difficult, which might not be suitable for a first time dog owner. Patience and perseverance are required to adequately train it. Professional obedience schools can also be helpful, the good thing with Hooch is that he is already trained.
Being young, Hooch is full of energy and will do better having a doggie companion to burn energy with, Hooch needs physical exercise as well as mental stimulation, he will do well with someone who likes to keep up his training, play, hike, run and then go home and snuggle.
Hooch is up to date on all his vaccinations, is heartworm negative and in excellent health. If you like to foster or adopt him and provide a Forever Home for Hooch call Miguel at 817-798-8416 or Matt at 817-647-5895.
