New EM Puppy Bane

Happy belated birthday to your boy there, he's so beautiful. It's so nice to see an EM be the size they should be.....here in Ontario most breeders are breeding them to be smaller....it's my dream to become a breeder of the largeEMs and show Ontario what a really EM size should be.

He has hit the 200lbs this week (one week short of 13 months).

The little guy on the right is who we picked up about 11 months ago. Hard to believe that he grew from 20lbs to 200lbs in that period.

Look at that mug!! What a handsome fellow!!! He is filling in so nice. He's huge. Is he the gentle giant he appears to be?
His mother is a beauty. She looks very well proportioned and in great condition. Looks like he came from a great stock!

Bane is looking awesome, all growed up, well almost, still growing I am sure. He is going to be a big one.

Thanks. His growth rate has definitely slowed down, but he is still gaining weight. He really doesn‘t look like 200lbs because he is so lean. There is still some fillint out to do. Gus reminds me a lot of him everytime I see the latest pictures you post. Also in terms of behavior. Laid back, picky eater etc.

Dude!!!! He's HUGE!!!! amazing!!!! SO good looking!!

Thanks! After all this time, it doesn‘t feel any different than living with a labrador. People never believe this, but we don‘t perceive him as a 200lbs dog. This must be the Mastiff syndrom or something like that :) I like that he‘s still athletic and agile. Not as agile as a Corso, but still very impressive for the size.
I can‘t wait to see more pictures of Zeela!

It‘s finally fall, so Bane enjoys being outdoors more than in summer (mainly because of the change in humidity). He‘s almost 15 months old and about 208lbs. We don‘t keep track of the weight as much anymore. He‘s doing very well. He does sleep a lot, but he is surprisingly athletic and dynamic during playtime. We are still preparing for the CGC test, but he has passed puppy, intermediate, and advanced group classes. Definitely a quick learner! For the most part, it still amazes me to have a dog of that size in the house who you can barely notice. Even though he loves being close to us, at times I wouldn‘t even know he‘s there. I personally like that much better than dealing with constant barkinh etc. I‘m in the process of making a video that documents his first 15 months (he was born on the day of the solar eclipse last year).

Bane is looking awesome! He has such a great build. His head is humongous, but still in proportion with his body. Glad he's doing so well. And I'm looking forward to the video!! :p

View attachment 61653 I just realized that I haven‘t posted any Bane updates in a while. He‘s doing well (turning 1 1/2 in a month). He‘s probably at 212-215lbs right now.

hey, how is the big love bug Bane? He looks amazing! how is he behaving? Zeela is fine, glad she likes to sleep alot, it helps with the winter and my work hours.
She loves to go in the brook in the Park, when weather permitting, I take her over and she does not care how cold the water is, she chases the ducks!
love it! we have so much fun!
