I wonder if WT could work out a group buy...

For something like that you negotiate before the breeding. Before any deal is made you want to know a lot about the dam and sire. What have they killed in combat. Can they fight and is their fighting done to protect the homestead? How are they with children and other pets or livestock of the household. The pitbull people have something they call being game, but for them it is not so much about winning and more about not giving up regardless of how over matched they are in a pit fight. The sire of the white pup in my avatar made two packs of wild dogs go away and break ins stopped and he killed a bobcat. He also weighed 120 lbs which is huge for a white englsih dog in Georgia, USA. Likely a lot of mastiff genes coming from the times that the Spanish ruled Georgia prior to Oglethorpe driving them back to what is now Florida in the latter 17th century.
How they are with other members of the household is very important. Basic rule is if a dog that growls at a child it is put down immediately. I go for the most mild manner type of protective dogs.

I f you like mild-mannered you`d love mine, I think I posted a few photos of him in the OP. Sweetest dog you`ve ever met. He`s a big baby but grows up damn fast if something`s wrong.

I looked up the op and your dog looks good. There is a fellow that breeds cane corso on a facebook page and forum that I hang out at. He wrote that one of his pups seem very aloof and had growled at him.

I am not sure what it is ... this is a very cold and distant pup. Acts much more like a LGD and looks it too. She hates to come inside. She will growl at you for cuddling her. She was too intriguing for me to place. I want to see how she turns out. Is she a throwback or a throwaway?

She will growl at me. That is dealt with by ignoring it. I don't want to crush that spirit. As she gets older it will get directed towards strangers and away from me. She may always voice her displeasure with other people. Even my wife if they do not build a bond. A dog like that really teaches you what dogs like and what dogs are only putting up with. Very dominant dogs like that won't tolerate it from people or animals that have not proven to them that they deserve a dominant position over them. She will be older before I feel she can handle the pressure of learning that lesson from me. If she is both dominant and hard, anyone else who wants to be dominant over her will have to show her the same.

Some one else mentioned that they had once a similar pup and I asked if he did shoot it. I did not get an answer.

Last one to comment is a full time breeder of mastiff type dogs and his answer was:

I have to admit, I would not tolerate any dog that I owned that growled at me, nor would I place it in any other home.

We talking about dogs that are capable of killing a human.

Below is picture of two types of bulldogs. The White English dogs are milder and more laid back than the young brindle bull pup that greets with its tail up and ready for action. Finding brindle bull dogs that are not mixed with pitbull is difficult and I have been told the most dangerous of them are likely extinct which were the darker brindles . The brindle bulldogs are believe to be very close to the war dogs that came with the early colonists to Georgia. They will not growl at family members, but will attack intruders a lot quicker the white bulldogs will.

Jack, the Brindle Bulldog

Jack is one of the first characters we meet in Laura's "Little House" books, and rightly so, for he was Laura's first friend. Although he is a dog, he is one of the most beloved characters in Laura's books. We first encounter Jack on page three of Little House in the Big Woods, lying guard by the door to protect the family from wolves. In the stories, Jack followed the family from the Big Woods into Indian Territory. He nearly drowned in a swollen creek, causing the family several days of sadness before he found his way back to them.

Jack took his role as protector very seriously, which sometimes was more of a hindrance than a help, particularly in Indian Territory. Pa had to keep Jack tied up to prevent him from biting the Indians who sometimes visited the Ingalls home and causing trouble for the settlers. He proved his worth, however, when he saved the family's lives.
When the family contracted fever 'n' ague (malaria) on the Kansas prairie, they were all too sick to go for help. It is likely they would have died before anyone realized their predicament. However, Jack saved their lives by running to meet Dr. Tann as he rode down the trail past the house, begging him to come in.
While the stories told about Jack in Little House on the Prairie are true, in real life, Jack's adventures with the Ingalls family ended as they returned to the Big Woods. Jack liked to spend his time with the ponies, Pet and Patty, and when Pa traded them for horses, Jack wanted to stay with them, so Pa let him go.

This was posted by a French fellow that runs American Bulldogs in France.

Jean Hoch
"Lafayette told him that in France they had a breed of shepherd-dogs, very large, of great sagacity, which were used in driving and protecting their flocks. “Old a country as France is, and strange as you may think it,” said Lafayette, “our mountains are infested with wolves which commit depredations upon our sheep. I will send you a pair for breeding.” In due time they came, and were quite prolific. They were a noble species, white with generally golden-hued spots; resembled the English mastiff, and were found extremely useful, but in time run out by mongrel associates. One of them one day followed my brother Alexander to market when a large, ferocious bull-dog, encouraged by his master, attacked him. The butchers formed a ring around them expecting the bull-dog to conquer. He had seized the shepherd-dog by the throat. The skin there was tough, and so loose that the other was enabled to twist his head around and grasp the bull’s head, and soon the bones were heard to crack. The master of the bull then interfered. “No,” said the others, “we formed a ring to see fair play; you set him on and now we will see it out.” And they did. The shepherd-dog had got his spunk up, and they heard the crunching of the bones, and quickly the bull-dog yielded up the ghost."

Photo below of two very heroic dogs that rescue a little Yorkie from a pack of coyotes.

The little Yorkie in this pic was attacked and almost devoured by coyotes. The 2 Ridgeback crosses in this pic were turned loose and went to the rescue. They both fought off the coyotes and Ajax, the male chased them off, while Tinkerbell, the female stood guard over Sam, the yorkie, until Lisa, the owner found him. Tinker had wounds to her hind quarters. Ajax was wound free. Sam the Yorkie, was bleeding profusely with large lacerations and broken ribs. Sam doesn't venture into the woods anymore. He sticks close to Momma Lisa...lol. $3000 later and lots of dedicated medical care, Sam was lucky to recover. Ajax is 106 lbs. Tinkerbell is 101 lbs, and Sam is under 5lbs. posted by Gary at the facebook page of Old White English Preservation Society. a closed group

Warrior Princesses: Memphis of about 2.5 years is in heat about a week and the one with the protective collar is Ginger and she is almost 3 yrs. The collar is not a halo, but meant to keep Ginger from licking a wound on her lower right wrist just above the paw. Wound was from a fight over which one got to sit next to me at the computer.
