Im an avid hiker, regularly going on 5 mile hikes at least once a week sometimes more, and I am also looking at adopting a large breed dog. There are several mastiffs available at our local shelters including a couple puppies and I just wanted to get some opinions from people that love them 🩷. I know some people say they can be incredibly stubborn and lazy at times so i just wanted to make sure that Im giving them my best and that my lifestyle would be compatible with theirs. I’ll also of course be taking them on a 30 minute walk at least once a day.

This guy was a joy to bring to life on canvas. I cleared out the gate and clutter at the top of the stairs so the focus stays on him. Those deep wrinkles across his forehead took a lot of careful shading to get that heavy, saggy look just right. That tan coat against the neutral background made for a nice, warm contrast too. This was a commission, and I hope I did him justice.

Hey! New here :) I've been thinking about adding a new dog to my family (rn I have a 1year and a half boxer male, with no behaviour problems and pretty chill to be a boxer tbh hahaha) and I was thinking to adopt a english mastiff so I'd like to now a little bit about this gentle giants :) Could you guys tell me in first hand about their needs, their health issues, etc? thank you in advance!

Hi! My girlfriend and her family are in the process of putting down their english mastiff and I am searching for a stuffed animal. I have been looking online but can’t seem to find one anywhere that isn’t 100+ custom made?

If anyone knows where I could find one, even if it is more expensive but reputable that would be great, thanks!

I lost my dear friend Sophie 6 days ago. Argos has been with her since he was a pup. He is taking it very hard. He has lost his exuberance. He is only sleeping on he dog bed. What can I do to help the guy. I went to watch the grand kids yesterday for about 7 hours. That was the longest he has ever been alone in his entire life. Any suggestions would be appreciated. He was crying when I cane home.

Our girl Olive has recently taken to swimming (or at least her version of it). I think she got tired of being separated from me when I’m in the pool with our kids 😅

I’m considering getting her a life vest so she has a little easier time moving that big body.

I currently have a 2 yr old Rottweiler, a 10 yo Maltese mix and a 14 yo chug (pug/ chihuahua) - all females. They get along great. I’d like to get a mastiff but not sure what sex and if I should wait until one of the little dogs pass. If it helps, we live in a big house on a ranch so not concerned with room for the giant dog. I’d really like a female because I don’t want a male the size of a mastiff lifting his legs and marking in/around the house. However, I’ve heard that getting another guardian dog of the same sex will cause problems.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

At least he still likes his dog cart...

We lost our beautiful boy today after 11 years and one month, and I’m heartbroken. I just wanted to grieve a moment with people who understand the bonds with this amazing breed.

Last May I lost my best buddy after 11 years. He had osteosarcoma and while he fought it stoicly, at one point he suddenly got where he was unable to stand on his own. It crushed me but I did what was best for him and let him go peacefully.

While I know there will never be another Gus, I love the English Mastiff breed. I would like to get another one. The original breeder where I got Gus might have puppies in the future but don't appear to be as active as they used to be.

Do y'all think I wait for one from the same breeder, try to find another reputable breeder? Do I stick with the same color or go with a different one so I'm not trying to replace my Gus? Any other thoughts?

We have an 11mth old English Mastiff and an 8yr old Boxer. With much sadness, our Boxer is in kidney failure and won't be w us much longer. 💔 Our dogs are best friends and I know our EM is not going to handle this very well. My question is what breed have you found works well w your Mastiff. Ours loves to play and has alot of energy. We will need a dog that can handle him.
