My brindle mastiff is Beau. He is a 2 year old neutered male and weighs in at 205 pds. He still thinks he's a puppy sometimes and has the zoomies around the house or yard. He's a great sleeper as well. We have had him since he was 8 weeks old, and although he was a very good pup, I don't think I ever want to do the puppy thing again! These guys tend to be land sharks, and at times I was very frustrated. He is mellowing out all the time, and getting him another companion has really helped.
My second Mastiff is Luke. He is a neutered fawn. We got him end of July 07.
He is 7 years old and a sweetie. Poor guy has always had skin issues as well as recurring ear infections. He is also cowhocked which is probably from poor nutrition while he was growing up. He is 160 pounds and the best dog we have ever had. After an evaluation with my homeopath, I am pleased to say that Luke has had no skin or ear issues while with us.
I can't say enough about the people that do rescue, because their evaluation of him was spot on. He has some issues with strange men, and if they are wearing hats, look out!!!!!
I take both my boys everywhere with me, so he has gotten much better with meeting new people. A couple of times a month we get together with a large dog walking group in the next city from me (about an hour's drive) and he has met well over 30 giant and large breed dogs and their owners. He is my shadow.
As you can see he has great wrinkle!
The boys are best friends
They play together all the time, and when Beau is a little too enthusiastic, Luke tells him so!!!
By the way, Luke came with his name, we did not name him.
So people tell me all the time that it must have been karma!
Hope you enjoyed the pictures and the long story.
Chris
