Old English Mastiff Discussions / Can you isolate the gene in a Mastiff so that you produce only fawns or apricots
« on: August 18, 2008, 04:44:04 pm »
  A friend and I were talking and he seems to be under the impression that you can isolate the brindle gene in the mastiff so as to only produce Fawns and/or Apricots.  I told him that I don't believe that is possible.  They only produce fawns, apricots, and brindles in the variation of the fawn and apricot.  Can anyone help me on this subject?

No.  They did not tell me if the CERF, or OAf's were done.  And, I am somewhat computer illiterate.  I have not had AOL in 5 years, and not sure how to set up the Instant Messenger.  The vet says he is looking good. However, I don't doubt that.  I am just curious to hear from other Mastiff owners in comparison.

OMG!  Thats a big boy coming from big parents.  I don't think I would want him to get that big.  I would be happy if he gets to a healthy 220 - 240lbs.  Heck, even that is twice my weight...lol.  Now, your dog is probably a bit above average.  Do you think that Toledo is Ok, or small for his age?  And, if he is small, is this a good indication that he may always be on the tiny side?

I got him from Toledo, Ohio - thus the name Toledo.  You should be able to see three pictures of him above.  the first is around 6wks.  The other two were taken at around 15wks (just a couple of weeks ago.)  He is probably 50lbs - 52lbs now.  his birthdate is 9/21/07.

Then he is a pet.  His ears are dark, but not as dark as the mask.

Well, I guess he is a pet puppy, but as for his markings...he could be show to me.  Why should this make a differance though?

Hello. Thanx for answering.  I have updated my message.  Sorry for forgetting his age.  Please forgive.

   Hello everyone.  I am a new parent to an Old English Mastiff Fawn male named Toledo.  I just took him to the vet
on Wednesday, January 23, 2007.  He had just turned 4 months old, and he was 48lbs.  Is that normal size for a Mastiff Male at his age?  My friend has a Great Dane, and he was 70lbs at 4-1/2 months.  I know that danes grow taller, but Mastiffs are suppose to be bigger.  Is this an abnormally small size for him?  I feed him twice a day.  He eats large breed adult, "Natural Choice brand dry dog food mixed with a can of wet dog food."  Please help.
