So I thought I would say hi and check this forum out. I got three Pitt Mastiff mixes and have been looking for places with a community that could help when I have questions since these three are not the type of dogs I am accustomed to raising or being a companion with. My previous pets/children were German Shephard and Wolf hybrids and a Husky/Chow mix.

Originally I started with two of these beautiful tornadoes of destruction, but a week later I had three. The mother cut them off at four weeks old so we had to pick them up early and bottle feed till we could transition them. The first two I was given immediately when this happened, as I previously requested months before for two of the pups with no care which ones because if I went to pick up myself, I'd take all of them...

A week later my mom, owner of the Staffordshire Pittbull and Blue Nose Pittbull that is their father(Trouble), said that nobody took the runt. Me and my gf already had been bottlefeeding the two and gotten cages for training, already turning down other puppy offers. When I heard the runt of the litter was available, I surprised my gf. So we took the third and did the same. Now, at 11 weeks old, we have two pups that are half as tall as their father and one with paws bigger than a half dollar and a chomp that makes his dad jump and squeal. I have them 90% house trained for a pad, but they're so large and smart ive been training them to go outside and they're already picking it up... They're even almost broke of chewing on stuff they shouldn't. :)

I also joined cause who doesnt want somewhere to show off their babies?! Ill add more here and there, but below are some of my first pictures.

Liberty and Justice first night. If they are as adorable as this when they sleep, remove everything chewable two feet off the ground minimum. Lol

OMG! I Want Them! They are so kissable.... We Need Daily Puppy Pics for Our Intense Addiction! Please supply our need!

All kidding aside...we're crazy for puppies. We never can get enough. When DMikeM had his large group of pups, we were all ga-ga for the pics. It was the first thing that I went to when I turned the computer on. There is something so wonderful about the puppy days...mmmh. Got to love them.

I know you have your hands full....But Isn't It Glorious!

Wow, you sure have your hands full. Maybe I missed it, but what kind of mastiff is in the mix? I would suggest that you make sure to do separate things with them frequently. Individual walks frequently, leave one home alone, definitely individual training sessions. Also do some research on littermate syndrome. There are people that don't think it's a concern, but most people that I've talked to think that it is. I figure best to do some research just in case.
