puppy

I have an adorable 11 week old male boerboel puppy. He was a singleton puppy, but from good lines and from a reputable breeder who did quite a bit to socialize him with some of the older puppies they had around before he came home to us at 8.5 weeks. That being said, he might be at kind of...

I am very experienced with dogs but this is our first EM. Our 10 week old EM has a trait that I have not seen in our other pups and I'm interested if this is common in the breed. His front legs do not straighten completely at the joint (what would be our wrist joint) when he stands or walks...

First day home. He loved the snow.

What tricks does your dog know? When should I start teaching tricks. I heard that it a really good idea to your dog at least one trick. Hes growing really fast, any advice to make sure he is growing healthy. We are waiting to give him raw meat, should we continue or can I give him scraps...

I need so advice on good food for my presa. Hes 13 weeks. Iwant him healthy, but I also have children. What would be the best food for him with the best price?

My bullmastiff pup, Ted, is 5 and a half months old now and doing great! I've been obsessing a little lately with exactly what food and how much to feed him. He currently eats Taste of the Wild 3 times a day (we are in the process of weaning out the mid-day meal). There is so much info on the...

I am proud to introduce our pup Duke (Dukey or Bo Bo as my wife calls him). Duke just turned 8 months and weighs an even 100 lbs. He is great fun and listens pretty well for an untrained dog. I bought the book "Teach your dog 100 English words" before I got him and it has been a big help...

Hey guys! This is the only way i was able to post a 8 month old 100 pounder's ears without him shaking it loose. Took a couple trys to get the right tape and post but this one seems to be holding. Keeping my fingers crossed that a few more days of this and they will be standing on their own...

Just wanted to introduce everyone to the newest member of our pack! His name is Kratos! He's a 12 weeks old Dogo Argentino and has 3 brothers (mini doxie, shih tzu and a pit) and a sister (Shih Tzu). I havent had a chance to break out the DSLR but when I do prepare for some high quality photo...

Well diesel is 5 weeks old and we got our vet to get him in early since he was younger than we were told. He's had diarrhea for 2 days pretty bad so at the recommendation of a good breeder we got him in. He did have some worms, and they found some bacteria in his stool so they gave us some...

My new Bullmastiff puppy arrives next week, and I'd like to get you guys opinion on something. I've heard for years that you need to limit the amount of protein that you give your puppy, especially large/giant breeds. One thing that seems to be close to a consensus is that Orijen is the best...

Hi, I am new here and to the English Mastiffs. I have had large dogs before, Saint Bernards and Newfoundlands but Chena is our first EM. 3 months old and in our home for only 3 days so far.

Hiya:) A very quick intro (to loose my lurking status:) We've recently picked up our new little Tibetan Mastiff pup and we couldn't be more delighted with her! We've been reading the posts here almost daily and have already picked up on so much information. Looking forward to learning lots and...

I just took in last night a 3 month old Cane Corso fawn female puppy. I can not keep her as I already have a corso and 3 cats. She is fawn colored with the most beautiful grey/ hazel eyes. She is sweet very nervous but once she warms up to you she's all over you. My email is...

Hey folks, Some mastiff based advice if you would be so kind. I have trained my other dogs in the recall with no problem, I understand the theory (mainly!). The others are much higher energy dogs who generally follow me around everywhere than the mastiffs (4 months old, sisters, Neos). I know...

Hey y'all! We just added to our family, Bellatrix, our 8 week old English Mastiff is the second love of my life (unfortunately my first is my Mr. ) We found our little girl online near my home town from an Oops litter. She was the runt and has been quickly catching up to the growth charts I have...

Hello Mastiff Community, We were so grateful to have found such an amazingly helpful community just before Phoenix's arrival 2 weeks ago, and cannot express our thanks. When Phoenix arrived she was eating a mixture of Alpo and Pedigree Puppy from the breeder. We began the process of...

Hello Everyone, Bit of a strange question. Why exactly do you go from 3 kibble meals(orijen 6 fish and Regional Red alternated)? Our girl won't always finish the larger 2 meal per day portions but never failed to eat the smaller 3 meal portions. I just wanted to know why...

Shes awesome and a total love, some issues with challenging me when Dad's not around... so I lure her away from jumping/nipping at me with treats... don't want to put her in harms way a/k/a potential bloat.... so I have been using fruits/veggies... Any suggestions on what other things to give...

Hello Mastiff Community Phoenix's Dad is a Dogue de Bordeaux and we were told that her mother is a Presa Canario (although after seeing her I believe the she might have some Labrador mixed too ). Before the criticism begins let me start by saying that yes I know Phoenix was still to young to...
