Hi I'm new here.

We lost two of our three dogs in the past two months. Our American Bulldog Ruby to cushing's and our Rottie Bessie to cancer last week. Our boy is so depressed and our house feels empty.

We have always liked Mastiffs and we are seriously looking into a female English Mastiff. We have a question about drooling. Do the English Mastiffs drool?

Yepp English Mastiff will drool, some more than others. That doesnt mean they drool all the time though, mostly when eating or drinking, or when really excited.

My EM will drool after he drinks water, eats or if there's food around. He may also drool sometimes when he's outside running. We always have a hand towel around near his water bowl, but like someone said earlier, they make up for it in so many ways. They do get very big though, as you may know already. When people come over and see our Leo for the 1st time, their jaws drop in surprise.

Have you looked into an American Mastiff? I've never seen one up close, but it's all over the web that they are the anti-drool mastiffs.

We went with a breeder out of Kansas and had our boy flown in. I was super concerned, but it went really well. We are in Virginia, but couldn't find a breeder we were happy with within what we considered a good driving distance (10 hours in any direction), so we fanned out and are really very happy with the puppy we got.

How old is your em? I bought from a lady in Kansas also as I couldn't find someone in Texas that had a puppy or was worth buying a dog from. She about the same age as my male em. Just wondering if there could be any relation.

As one EM owner said to me, I should buy shares in a paper towel company since we go through so many. Good luck finding your EM.

Before you even think about breeding, you should consider why you want to start breeding. Just having a female isn't enough. Is she going to be registered, is she going to have her health clearances, are you going to work her in some way? If the answer is no, then don't breed her. If you are interested in the breed and improving it, then talk to a registered breeder. A lot of them are more than happy to discuss this with you. Also, take out some books on breeding. There is a lot to be aware of and raising a litter is a lot of hard work, and I mean a lot. Some dogs are self sufficient but others need 110% of your time with the puppies.
