Just heard from his owner Eric...
Sad story, little boy(2) has developed severe allergies to the dog. :'(
They live about 15 min. from me. He will call me after work tonight & bring him by to meet Sampson.
He's 2yr, but still intact - should I have any concerns if Sam's snipped? ???
Give me some advice here, please...

I'd just be careful with the introduction. Make it happen on neutral turf somewhere, and if you do end up bringing him home you might want to keep them separated for a little while to get used to each others presence in the house. Then gradually bring them together, and get that guy neutered ASAP! ;)

Wow, good luck.  I would see about getting him nuetered before bringing him into you home.  I know my male who has been nuetered since a pup gets territorial with unnuetered males.  Plus, the new guy might decide to mark your house as his own.  I agree about meeting nuetral territory.

What about a place like Petsmart - do you think that would work? It's pretty neutral - isn't it?
I think I agree on the snip prior to moving in...

Oh Kristy, I sure hope it works out tonight, and you can give him a home.  I emailed the guy too, and pressed the issue that these big paws just aren't for everyone, and that for someone unexperienced, the novelty of having a 170 pound dog could wear off.  It sounds like he took it to heart; I'm so glad!

I think somewhere outside would be better, someplace without too many distractions. Is it possible to introduce them at a park?

There was a post, that had a pic of the same dog and said, "Need to rehome our English Mastiff". So, I thought that was strange, considering that you were going to meet the dog, and I bumped this post so that it would be near the new one with the pic of Otis. It just seemed strange to me. Anyway, so that's why.  ;D
