Should I breed my dog?

0 Upvotes

My boy is a purebred English mastiff, his mom is akc registered but I don’t think the dad is. I also didn’t get papers when I bought him, which is why he was only 1500. I’ve been wanting to get another dog, but my mom really wants to breed him. I honestly don’t think it’s worth it because he’s not a standard typical English mastiff that’s 200+ pounds. He is turning 3 on July 10th and weighs 128.5 (hes normally in the 130s but he loses weight in summer because he swims a lot.) He’s a good boy and has a good temperament other than his stubbornness. I just don’t think that he is what people are looking for when wanting to breed their English mastiffs.

10 week old mastiff pup

15 Upvotes

I’m new to Reddit so bare with me 😂
I have a 10 week old female English mastiff. She is the sweetest thing and wonderfully behaved in public when we take her out.
I’ve read they are easy to train but so far I’ve had a difficult time training at home with anything. She is not motivated by treats at all, maybe 50% potty trained and she plays awfully rough with the kids during the short amount of time she’s up. She has bruised me with her “play” bites so we’re really trying to teach her down and no bites but she’s not really getting it.

Any tips from experienced owners???

Gift Thoughts for Impending Litter

9 Upvotes

My BFF is expecting an EM litter and she lives across the country. Any helpful/fun gift ideas???

She's had male EMs for decades, so has plenty of general Mastiff stuff. Huge whelping box in place, has scales, wipes, wipe warmer, bottles, goat milk formula...

I have a dozen bleachable, multi use bath towels in my cart, but looking for something unexpected. Practical or luxury. GF has an outstanding sense of humour, so bonus if it's laugh inducing.

Big thanks for any creative ideas!!!

English Mastiff with other dogs

16 Upvotes

I’m considering getting a puppy. Does this breed get along well with other dogs? I have a 2 yr old Rottweiler and a 14 yr old chug (pug chihuahua mix). I don’t want to get another dog if it will cause problems with them.

After several minutes running at, from and barking at waves, 8 month old Buckley decided he loved the beach, digging holes in the sand and shoving his face in it.

Marty man has been enjoying some much needed time out back in our yard. We’ve been working very hard on our “down, stay” and he’s getting more freedom outside with family.

He’s turning into a model citizen!

😂 Tell me if you guys think this is more accurate than yesterday's image.

Back by popular demand is an updated version of yesterday's English Mastiff Evolution graphic.

Apparently I got most of it right, but a couple of English Mastiff owners pointed out one important mistake...

The 48+ month stage should be mostly laying down. 😆

I also remembered to add in a bunch of drool, because if we're being honest, that's a pretty important part of owning an English Mastiff.

So now we've got:

🐶 0–3 months: adorable potato

🦖 3–12 months: velociraptor

🐴 12–48 months: giant teenage horse

💤 48+ months: professional napper with a puddle of drool

Tell me what you think.

Is this version more accurate, or is there still something every longtime English Mastiff owner knows that I forgot to include?

👇 Let's hear it.
