I love this film. The dog is gorgeous. I've got Mastiffs so I know how strong they are & what a handful they can be. Mind you, mine are a wee bit bigger than Hooch. Did I say "a wee bit"? That's an understatement. Mine are Old English Mastiffs (Hooch is a Bull Mastiff). They're as tall as Great Danes and twice as wide. I must be a real glutton for punishment as I have 7 of them (plus a Rhodesian Ridgeback & a Jack Russell terrier).
Those of you who have seen this film must remember how Hooch drools. That's the 1 big problem with Mastiffs. When they shake their heads, drool flies to all corners of the room. You cannot be houseproud if you want these dogs. But if you want a dog that is gentle, great with kids, loyal & protective, big enough to deter even the most hardened burglar, and as soppy as they come, then get a Mastiff. Incidentally, it helps if you can get dog food at wholesale prices as they have enormous appetites!
