Thanks! And good observation. I don‘t believe he was guilty of this one. They usually just throw the cans back on the street once they are empty.
I figured. But look at his face! You could make that into a meme.

He looks great! Very muscular. These big dogs do change our lives. It is hard work, but after the first 2 years it does get easier. They bring such joy, and are extremely loyal. Bane does look happy, and healthy. He looks like a loyal friend. It sounds like he has brought a lot of joy to you and your wife. It's like having a big drooly teddy bear
That‘s true! Great idea! We are getting him ready for the CGC test now. I have been in contact with the VP of the MD Obedience club and she can administer it. There is also an AKC Star Puppy test, which is kind of a pre-CGC test. We might do that one first as a test run. A lot of practice on people petting him, another person taking his leash etc.
We usually drop him off at grooming for 2-3 hours and he‘s good with being handled by other people. Also, he‘s good with all the commands, so I think he‘ll pass. Will keep you all updated. I believe it‘s a good thing. Especially for larger dogs.
If we ever decide to move back to Germany, it can be beneficial. Multiple Mastiffs are on the list of potentially dangerous breeds (among many other breeds) in some states, so he would have to be tested if decided to move to one of these states. I believe there have been discussions on removing the EM from the list. As far as I know, he made it to the list primarily because or size, rather than temperament. Other breeds on there are Am. Pitbull Terrier, Amstaff, Fila Brasileiro, Dogo Argentino, Tosa etc.
I don‘t believe it is as strict as in the UK.
Well thankyou bane, england nearly had a chance to be proud again, short lived. Your support was much appreciated,Sorry @glen . You did have a strong supporter in Bane, but it wasn‘t meant to be.

Those last two pictures are so funny. And I just have to say that Bane is such a boy. He *looks* like a boy. Ella looks very girly in comparison to him. He's very handsome.
Look at that big bear watching t.v.!! Your right Boxergirl, Bane is masculine. He's so handsome. And he looks very approachable. I bet you get a lot of people wanting to pet on him.
Holy Canoli!!! That is one big @ss dog!!!! I tell my friends about Bane & how much he weighs, they like what???? He's soooo cute!! Big Bear he is.He definitely is a typical boy. However, one of our neighbors keeps asking (every day), "how is your girl doing?“. It‘s hard to miss when he stands right in front of you.
Thanks. Yes, he‘s very approachable in general, but makes clear who he likes and who he doesn‘t like (like us humans I guess). He is a very good dog and can now be fully trusted in the house. He has never really destroyed anything. Although he‘s very big, you sometimes wouldn‘t know that he‘s there. Very quiet and calm inside the house.
Bane is 11 months old now and weighs about 192lbs. He is about 33.5 in at the shoulder.
He's going to be massive!! 33.5 inches! And correct me if I'm wrong, don't mastiffs grow in height till around 18 months? He is tall!! How big is the vet estimating him to get? He looks great, well proportioned.
No way! That seems like the fastest year ever! He looks great. Happy birthday Bane! So that purple pig .... how's it holding up? I met a lady at a local nursery that swore by it for her destructive American Bulldogs.
