Welcome to the forum.

do you have a side pic of her? And also what is her weight?

 

[kenos89]

I hope these will help
She now is 32-34 kg

I don't think your underfeeding her, my presa in her best years ate about 500gr daily.

Looks like a Cane Corso
Beautiful dog,

 

[kenos89]

@Alejandro: although she eats a lot, she cant add weight in the back section,the last two ribs and in the back legs

@DDSK:I havent seen any presa canario nor a cane corso from a close enough distance so I dont know how they are look like ..I only saw internet pictures and read some articles about both breeds
My dog has a lot of extra skin and muscular back legs so I assumed it was presa canario

Hi Dimitri - I reckon your dog looks fine - I could never get weight on back end of my mastiff when she was alive and she had a very good appetite. Good that you gave this beautiful dog a great home.

Nice story, she looks very nice Welcome to forum!

Nice story, she looks very nice Welcome to forum!

The story is really big....
i found a dog walking alone in the streets and i thought that someone lost it,so i decided to take it to my place until we find the owner.After a couple of weeks the owner appeared in our shop and said it was his,he lost her when he cut her loose in his own yard,but now he doesnt have time to feed her(he owns a coffe shop) and he searches for someone to take her.(we found out that weeks before that,he called the dog shelter organization to leave it there)So without any more thoughts i decided to keep her
this dude apeared tha he abandonded the dog multiple time,because one day in our walk with the dog,a woman stops me and asks me if this dog is mine.i explain what happened and she tells me
i found her too 3 months ago and tis guy told me the exact same story of how he lost her
Sooooooo....
this dude probably didnt want the dog because when i got to his place to her,i saw the dog all day chained up from the roof of a kiosk and it was really really dirty around the dog house,

Anyway sorry for the long post i wanted to share it with you,beacause we share the same love for the dogs ..now we forgot all of that,we learned the basic obedience and keep learning stuff
Sorry for my bad english too
nice to meet you

Welcome aboard~ I see Cane Corso in the pup too.

Has the pup had a vet check for worms or parasites?

Slow and steady growth is better for a mastiff to prevent future health issues. The pup looks great to me.

Thank you for rescuing the pup from what sounds like is a horrible situation with an owner that no longer cared for the pup.

 

[kenos89]

From the time i got here we ve got that ''problem''.I gave her a pill for the worms but i cant remember how puch time has passed,i believe 4-5 months.I ll go to a vet in next week anyways to check for worms...

 

[kenos89]

Ohhh I also remembered,the previous owner told me that it was a mix of Rottweiler and dogo(dogo canario or argentino)

 

[cinnamon roll]

She doesn't look too thin to me.


She is gorgeous.

 

[DennasMom]

She looks good, I'm sure much happier, too, now that she's with you!

It looks like she's still young and growing, to me - so all the food is going into building bone and muscle - which is a good thing.
Lean is beautiful.

 

[kenos89]

She is four now....

 

[CeeCee]

Welcome! She's beautiful! Do you know how old she is? If she's still growing, you're gonna want to be careful about her running with you (and not take her) as this can be hard on her still developing joints.

 

[musicdeb]

She is four now....

4 years old or 4 months old?

 

[kenos89]

although i dont write much i m reading you most of my free time.
Im happy to say that we are very good,we had some lessons for obedience(hope its the right word) and the dog is also now tolerating most of the other dogs around it.Also i think that it is presa...(althought i dont care)
here are some more pics

 

[Cobalt]

She's a great looking dog, great story on the rescue too!

 

[kyonian]
