Any Mastiff Owners out there

[dakoka]

Please excuse me if there is already a thread for Mastiffs.
I Have a year old English Mastiff, fawn in color. Her name is Dakoda Faith of Brutus. Dakoda if a very calm and mellow dog. My girls (age 3 and 18 months) can do anything they want to to her and she just lays there. She has been like that since she was about 4 months old. She is a very smart dog and catches on really quick and is easy to train. She learns quickly. If anyone else out there has a mastiff, I would love to talk to ya more about them.

Hi. I use to have A E M, she was the sweetest girl! I cried for months when she died. I now have 2 cane corso mastiffs and a rott.

I have a Mastiff cross, her name's Bear. She's a real sweetie, and not all that active (Mastiffs generally aren't), but she does like to run and play a little bit. She isn't bothered by a lot, and likes to just let the world go by. Mastiffs are pretty passive aren't they?

Sorry I aint' been on here. The boss is just workin me to death. lol
Well dakoda is pregnant, we think, and with lab puppies. lol. We think it would be so cool to have brindle lookin labs (since she does have brindle in here). We just hope that we will be able to find the puppies all good homes. We wasn't ready to breed her yet but I basically live out in the country and didn't think nothin about it when I let her out one morning to go potty. When I got home from work there was to male dogs hanging around the place. My husband said that they had been here awhile so we think that by the look of here one got here.
anyone interested in a lab/mastiff puppy. lol

So my wife ususally does the posting here...We have a bull mastif who is a adult/senior now. We picked him up at the shelter when he was a year and a half maybe 2 and he has been with our family for over six years. He is amazing he's like a nanny and a rug all in one...lol. He has been a wonderful member of our family. He's very understanding with our children especially our 18 month old. He knows what you say to him has an elvis lip and the drool is oveflowing. When he wants to play he looks like a 150lb puppy and the skin just flaps around...and his mug who couldn't love that face... he is also afraid of our new pup...it's funny

I have a 124 lb.,7 month old fila. Brutus is quite amazing for a puppy. He is so gentle with the granddaughter. Most of the time very laid back, and so affectionate.
He loves to give drooling kisses and touch us with his big ole paws.

Yeah I noticed the trend. The bigger the dog is, the gentler it is with smaller things. Its so funny to see a 140-150+ pound baby roll around with a poodle or a kitten.

 

[dakoka]

And yea the drool. When Dakoda drinks she always finds someones leg to lay her head in after words to soak up the drool.
Dakoda's favorite place to stand is anywhere I am and right between my legs. My husband said it is a good thing that I am 6' tall or she wouldn't fit anymore. lol.

 

[filarotten]

Well I am only 5'5 and Brutus loves to stand between my legs also. It is getting harder to stay erect. Before long, I will be riding him when he does that.
Dakoda is a pretty girl. I hope everything goes ok with the pregnancy.

Mastiffs are wonderful dogs, I have never met one that isn't a big sweetie. I have a friend that used to have a huge female (she said she was 180lbs), she was the most easy going dog I think I have ever seen. I always thought about getting one but their lifespan always scared me off.

Dakoda's face looks like she is a big lover

So true....ours is only about 7 and he is very much a senior...so sad

 

[dakoka]

Yea Dakoda is just a big teddy bear. The ladies at the vet love her when we go in. She gets atleast 3 treats from everyone. They tell me that they have another one that comes in to and he just looks mean. The nurses say it is her eyes that say she is a lover and not a fighter. But if my other female dog comes anywhere near Dakoda's bone she is all of a suddenly a fighter. lol

I love mastiffs. I want my next dog to be an Old English Mastiff, actually.

Goofy and loveable and at the same time, intense guard dogs.

I don't have one, but there are a couple in for boarding at work. Old English Mastiffs and they are HUGE! The male is 200 lbs and the female should be around 160, but she's fat and is about 185. They are just so laid back, it's awesome.

I'm with Amstaffer; I'd get one if they lived longer.

 

[rottiegirl]

I love mastiffs and I might even get a french mastiff in the future. Their deep red coats are beautiful!
