Jesus they are big ones I can see why they opted for a C-Section. Did they give you any birth weights? BTW. 10 weeks is the preferred age for mastiff pups to leave mom. They tens to be better adjusted and socialize better if you give them more time with mom and the littermates.
I didn't hear any weights, but I would like to know too. I sent an email to my breeder and I will see what they were. Ya, the breeder says she sends them home anywhere from 8-10 weeks, depending on how developed they are. I am ok waiting as long as necessary to make sure I give my pup the best chance for success.

Nothing new so far. The breeder has been pretty quiet for the last 2 weeks, I am sure it is tough having a litter of pups in the house. She never got back to me with the weights but I am trying to be understanding and let her do her thing. Hopefully some new pictures come soon!

Yes, nothing has changed there. Morgan (owned by Bandera) and Xilo are the parents. The question at one point was whether Morgan would have enough pups, if not I would get one of her daughter Zara's pups. Since Morgan had 6, I get one. Either way the pup is coming from Bandera, however.

Looks confident by the belly up photo. many pups need training in this because of fear. Try to slowly invert the pup a few times while belly up. This will help bond the pup to you and build it's confidence in you. (When you get it of course)

The pups are only a few weeks until they get to come home. How cure are they!? Temperament testing happens tomorrow and then they will start matching pups with all the buyers. I am getting REALLY excited! I've already got my pup signed up to start socialization classes and training the first week of August.

I am picking up my pup this Sunday! I am going to have a female dog for the first time in my life, for whatever reason I have always had males. The most important thing is the temperament match, and I cannot wait to meet my little girl!Pictures will, of course, be forthcoming.
