puppy

After twice weekly visits for the past month, Hank is home! Everyone was so excited (we have six kids, 10 - 22). The boy is MASSIVE, nearly 30 pounds. He looks like a normal little puppy: Until you place him in perspective: Hank's paw in my wife's hand.

Leo, my 14 week old CC, has been having some issues in puppy class that I wanted to run by all of you. - His first class he was terrified by all the other dogs and hid behind anything or anyone to get away from all the other dogs. We were recommended to leave him and walk away when he follows...

Hi! I'm still new to this forum and have loved reading about mastiffs and their behaviour and seeing everyone's pics but just wanted to know about any weird or odd behaviour! For example my 5 month old male bullmastiff (Bronson) is convinced he is a human. He whinges and whines whenever anyone...

Does anyone have any experience with this brand? I went to the pet store yesterday to buy some Taste of the Wild, since that seems to be a popular choice and Duchess wouldn't touch the Eagle Pack. When I told them what I was looking for and who would be eating it, they strongly discouraged my...

Hi everyone! We got our EM when she was almost 5 weeks old. At the time, her mother had kicked them off the nipple and she was on a diet of straight from the cow milk. The breeder said she was getting about 18 oz a day total. It seemed to us that it wasn't enough for her and so we upped the...

Hello everyone! I am new to this forum and appreciate any feedback I can get. We just brought home an EM puppy. She is only about 5.5 weeks old, which I know is super young (long story). We have always had huskies and labs, so we are very new to mastiffs. That said, we are not entirely sure...

From everything I have gathered from this forum and others our 17 week old female mastiff is under weight considerably. We purchased her from a breeder and when I went to pick her up she was the same height and estimated weight of her sister and a bit smaller and definitely lighter than her...

I have a 10 week old DDB and his ribs show, I don't know what the weight rule for puppies is. I heard that you should be able to feel and not see their ribs. He weighed 15.8 lbs at 8 weeks and at 9 weeks he weighed 17.2 lbs. I will be weighing him today to see how much he weighs now...

Hello to all, I have a quick question. I currently have a 10 week old DDB pup and I would like to know when to switch him to adult food. I have heard the general rule is 6 months, but with mastiffs it is different due to their growth spurts. I am currently feeding him bil jac for large...

He loves his ele...:p

Rocco is now going on 6 months and he has had a shaky right leg since i could remember. sometimes when he is standing still or sitting his right front leg will shake like he has palsey. it's really noticeable and i'm beginning to worry. at 1st i thought it was nerves but i dont think he even...

Good evening friends, As expected the beautiful life with a cc also brings challenges in our lives. My 2,5 m old CC bites the living out of everything that he doesent like; being it me trying to pull him by the collar, or another member of the family gently ( he is a pup) slapping his butt or...

Looking to get a neapolitan mastiff puppy around February 2013. Does anyone know of a breeder in or around New England? Looking all over and can't find any close. I want to be able to see the farm that my puppy comes from. Will travel some distance but cannot travel across country. Thanks!

I had my English mastiff pup flown from Ohio to Nevada. He had a ton of worms. He went in for all his regular check ups and Vacs. I told the vet each time about the worms and he was givin de-wormer each time. He had dirareah. I told the vet and I was givin probiotics. I gave him the right daily...

I just got my 14 week old mastiff puppy, and she seems to be terrified of going outside/walking on steps. I don't know what to do. I try to lure her out with treats but she just won't. She seems to think she's in trouble or something when I take her out. Any suggestions?

I don't plan to buy my tibetan for quite a while since I still have over 6 years of schooling left, but I would like to know now if anybody could help me with the compatibility of the breed. I already have a chug (chihuahua pug mix, definitely at least 90% chihuahua) who is 11 months old and...

Hi everyone. I have a rescue puppy that according to DNA results is 50% lab, 50% cane corso mixed with most likely bullmastiff. I'm seeking information and advice from your forum because although most people assume my dog is all lab (his head looks lab and he looks black when he's not in the...

Hi everyone, Picked him up Monday. He's settling in nicely. Have seen a lot of conflicting opinions on food types, puppy or adult. I'm so afraid of causing a problem in adulthood. Help me! Why is there large breed puppy food I it causes problems?

Hi All, We are getting our 10 week old English Mastiff puppy next week and we're getting ourselves prepared for the new addition. One of the items we've heard mixed reviews on and there are so many options - is the leash. What type should we be looking for? Are there any "must haves" for a...

Hello, We are getting our EM puppy, Fenway this week. He will be 11 weeks and I am not sure how far along he will be in his potty training. I have been hearing a lot about tying bells at the door so he can ring them when he needs to go out. This sounds like a great idea to get my attention...
