The Georgia Giant Type WEB
left: Juvenile Georgia Giant The Georgia Giant is considered to be descendants of the Spanish Mastin, brought by Spanish Priests of the early Spanish Mission system as guards for the livestock that sustained the missions. The GG is a large framed dog having a thicker, longer coat with feathering on the legs, typically with rear dew claws. They are the only strain of WEB with this long of a coat. The GG is usually always white rarely having any color, their skin pigment too is usually poor, but always black when present. The GG typically has thicker, fuller lips and more facial, jowl and neck wrinkling. They are excellent guards of stock, farm and family, typically have a more placid nature befitting of a livestock guarding dog. The GG is a very rare strain of the WEB and can occasionally be thrown in non GG litters, evidence of the amalgamation of breed types by the Spanish Conquistadors and settlers that ultimately led to the development of the WEB Breed. Too few specimens remain to establish any set standard, and so they remain simply a strain or type within the WEB.
