Hello there! I am a first time owner of the mastiff type breed. I have always had dogs (a lot) mainly of the gun dog side of things. I adopted Rosie from the vets where I work as she was going to be put down at 11 weeks for a broken leg! The owners could not afford treatment and as she had been left with a broken leg for 3 days before them seeking treatment. The vet thought she had been kicked and would not let her go back to owners. Nor would I! I got her 3 days later after she had the top of her femur removed ( it was fractured right through the ball of the hip joint). She is a total softie and I love her to bits! Photos to follow once I work out how
