    Is it ok for a Mastiff puppy to jump

    Our puppy is 4 months old and is very active, the thing that concerns me is that he likes to jump. I have heard so many things saying that they will be injured by jumping that I am panicked. (he is not super heavy maybe 55lbs) He is not jumping off of things but he like to run and jump for his...

One morning we were having breakfast and she peed in the house which i mean isn't abnormal for a puppy, however she continued to squat multiple times after the first large puddle of urine. On the 2nd + attempts to pee...

    Boerboel puppy

    My wife and I will be picking up our 8 week old Boerboel, Saturday 30th. I have been researching the best puppy food for him. I am open for suggestions. I have zeroed in on Fromm puppy food for large breeds. Our vet said not to go for grain-free food because studies have shown that a grain-free...

    CC Puppy loses temper

    Hello and thanks for your advice. We just got our CC puppy, Vinnie, 2 weeks ago when he was 8 weeks old. He was the runt of the litter, and had some health issues when we got him: a large hernia, underweight, and worms. He adjusted very well to our home and family. He is not overly...

    5 month old puppy pees where he sleeps?

    Hi all! I'm new here so please let me know if I am doing anything wrong. Now my 5 month old english mastiff (Loki) has passed kindergarten and is on intermediate training. He's potty trained for the most part and only bites when he's very hyper. So in short he's a super well behaved pup...

    Bump on Pacino's head

    Hi everyone, I wanted to ask if anyone had a similar case with your mastiff. Our bullmastiff, Pacino, developed a bump on the right side of his forehead. Initially, it was pretty flat and you had to feel it with your hand to actually notice it was there. Since he loves hard play with other dogs...

    Need Mastiff Pup Help

    I wish I would have found this site sooner, there's been a lot of guessing with my puppy and have been really lost at times. 2 main concerns I have right now is size and teething. Hercules is about 18 weeks and no where near the weight that I've seen on size charts. He's about 62 lbs, but...

    Is my pup lazy or just getting adjusted?

    We have a 12 week old pup that has been in the house for two days. He's adorable and seems very confident and content but his energy level is very low. He'll run after you but only for very brief periods and not more than once or twice a day. While he does explore within 3 or 4 minutes he'll...

    TM Puppy- starting to show resource guarding.

    Probably not a surprising post, but figured I would put it out there for fellow TM owners. Betty Bear, now 5mo, just started showing resource aggression to other dogs and now even to me. I am currently seeking professional assistance, but in the mean time while I am pulling that together...

    I was wondering if anyone had advice about biting and growling. We picked Ace up at 8 weeks. He is now a 10 weeks.
