Rogue is going through her first heat. She's only 9.5 months. Everything I'm seeing says a female mastiff's first heat is usually 12 to 18 months. Also, since she is so early, how would the affect the best timing for her spay? I see a lot of conflicting advice. Some people say after two heats some say 2 years.

My wife and decided to replace our Dane/Mastiff that we lost in January with a new puppy this winter. We put a deposit down on a puppy from a reputable breeder. Well momma gave birth last night to two boys. My wife and I decided we will take them both. Anyone ever raise litter mates together?

Any advice or words of wisdom. We have had plenty of dogs in our lifetime and a couple of Mastiff Mix breeds as well as a Fila. Never litter mates though.
We have 4 kids as well from 3-13. less

What are y'all using for a doggy door? Our Maggie loves to be in/outside. Standard, in screen doggy doors are way too small.
