Victoria Stillwell is a perky Brit. featured as a dog trainer on the Animal Planet net work. During a recent segment, a dog Victoria is working with is referred to as a Neopolitan Mastiff AKA a Mastino Napoletano. One should not think furrows of loose skin on a large dog make the animal an Italian Mastiff.This is an error, either caused by Animal Planet or Stillwell or both.

On another note, Victoria's views on castration are invidious & incomplete. She feels every male dog should be castrated. Regardless of exemplary ownership ! Victoria does not talk about the frequent side effects of this procedure. Some but not all are incontinence, due to a lack of testosterone, reduced athleticism, obesity, Orthopedic problems resulting from increased weight gain etc. Castration should be considered as a last resort. "Castration breaks more things than it fixes."

Animal planet should consider sending Victoria back to Great Britain. Perhaps in Europe Stillwell's lofty arrogance would be appreciated.
