Was told GP x Mastiff mix, I'm only familiar with German Shepherds.

Ru the cross mastiff shar

My Mastiff/Pyrenees is panting/breathing so hard just resting. He's eight.

for context, I am 16, and me and my friends were on an innocent night out after a shitty day at work to clear my mind. (ironic)

so, me, my boyfriend, and my best friend were out on our town square after I had a shitty day at work. we decided to pull up to my bsf’s boyfriends workplace to say hi while we were out, and he happened to be on break, so we went to the little outdoor seating area to hang out. when we went out there, we saw a couple with two dogs. a huge mastiff and a tiny fluffy puppy. i love dogs, so I naturally went up to them and said “your dogs are so cute, can I pet them?“ and they said something along the lines of “oh yeah, go ahead, he’s friendly” so I pet him. he literally was fine, he was wagging his tail and leaning forward. a millisecond later, he abruptly decided he was going to bite me. jumped up, grabbed onto my hand with 6 teeth, bit super deep and dragged his teeth down my hand as he was going back down, ripping the skin on my palm. the couple seemed really scarily calm. like, they jumped for a second but didn’t even say anything until I was sitting down, blood dripping from my hand as I was feeling like I was about to black out/throw up. The dude kept saying he was a paramedic, and I was just trying to be friendly and apologize for scaring their dog as my friends boyfriend frantically went to go find the first aid kid. this dude did not clean my wound. he insisted he knew what he was doing, but all he did was put antibiotic cream straight on the wounds and put a bandage on it. I was actively freaking out but trying to stay friendly so I wouldn’t have a bigger problem, and the lady kept talking to me about how “dogs have feelings too” and how I “reached over and pet him without permission”. she also mentioned multiple times that if someone were to take them to court, they would “protect their baby”. i told them I was 16 and I needed their info to give to my mom, they sped through their phone numbers and then stood up. through this entire conversation, the lady was standing 2 feet away from me, WITH HER DOG STILL RIGHT NEXT TO ME, Coddling him and comforting him as if he was a child that spilled milk. then, she proceeded to walk over to two little girls with her dog. like, what? the man also made sure to tell me multiple times he “was experienced in this sort of thing and he didn’t think I had to see anyone” which we just realized it’s because he didn’t want to be reported or animal control to be called. i understand, but they admitted mid conversation that this was apparently the first time he had been in public in 7 months and he gets anxious around people, and they knew prior to this that he was overstimulated! and they still let us interact with him. super irresponsible and the way they handled that whole situation was incredibly neglectful and rude. they also decided to leave before the parents got to the building, smart. luckily the dog was caught up on his shots and I didn’t have any fractures, but I have 6 GNARLY deep wounds on my hand and I am in a cast. I am having so much fun. take care of your dogs. just needed to vent.

My cross mastiff with shar pei.

Hi!

Was wondering if I could get some feedback from someone who may know a little more about this than I do.

I have a 5 year old English mastiff. I live in a 2-floor residence that sits about one story above ground level. My dog, while sometimes trepidatious, walks easily to my second level using my curved staircase very easily, multiple times per day. She also regularly uses the multiple half-staircases in the yard that lead her off the deck onto the grass.

I am in the process of purchasing an apartment as a secondary residence, and was considering an option on the 4th floor of a walk-up apartment.

It’s not determined how often my dog would accompany me to the apartment, but I’d say on the higher end it could be as often as 3-4 days a week. Of course, I may rarely bring her and she may just reside in the family home as she does now.

Any opinions on how I should approach walk-up’s? Would walking up and down 3 flights of stairs 2-3 times a day hurt her? The last thing I want to do is injure her or lead her to any physical issues that mastiffs often get.

Quick note: as she gets older and less mobile, it’s likely that she’d just stay in the primary home as even traveling TO the apartment may prove difficult for her. I just don’t want to have her get to that point prematurely!

I'm planning to potentially get a mastiff when I move out, and I don't know if he's going to be a puller or not. If he does turn out to be a puller, I want to make sure he's not pulling me into the street. I want to train him using force free methods, but I'll get a head collar if it's necessary. Would having one prevent him from being able to pull us into traffic?

Meet Hummer.

This strikingly handsome young Boerbol is a SOLID dude and as goofy as they come

He is very true to the breed when it comes to protective instincts, and will require a breed experience in order to be considered.

Hummer is GORGEOUS. He has playful puppy energy, but is a lug and will need training. Hummer is not overly fond of men, but bonds quickly to women. He’s great with dogs. No cats.

He is great on walks, vey obedient and smart and will do anything you ask.

⭐️ UPDATE: DEXTER WAS ADOPTED BUT RODGER IS STILL AT THE SHELTER

🐾 Rodger ID: #A5802931 - Intake 9/29

Mastiff • Male • Approximately 1.6 yrs old

https://animalcare.lacounty.gov/dacc-details/?animalId=A5802931

⭐️ Notes: GOOD BEHAVIOR SCORE 2 - SHY

He is a sensitive, gentle soul who needs a little time and patience to feel comfortable with new people. Although initially timid, he allowed the handler to gently examine his teeth, ears, paws, and tail without any negative reaction. He was also leashed and returned to his kennel without issue. He needs time to build confidence.

I think our puppy is broken! /s

3 month old mix. Any ideas what he’s mixed with? Mom was a Mastiff, no information on dad.

Hey everyone 👋🏽! NOT that it was all that important to know BUT since adopting our Mastiff mix in July at or around 4 months we had so many people guessing at what she could be. We went ahead and did the test and was pleasantly surprised to see that our new baby girl is a combination of our past dogs breeds.

She is truly an amazing gift created just for us. We love our now 6 month old Princess 👸to pieces 💕💖!!!

Hi everyone, this is Garden. Hes at risk of euthanasia in NYC because he’s scared. Hes a mastiff/bully mix (we think) I love him and work with an awesome rescue that is willing to pull for a committed foster. Happy to share more details ❤️ 2 years old playgroup superstar ✨gentle & calm good boy

Jerry was the first puppy born (after Jerry Garcia) Here is is at 1 year old and 6 months. The dam and sire are both Cabaret Boerboels and are registered AKC, but we will be working on getting him registered into SABBS. Amazing pedigree including Cabaret A Son Of A Gun and MES Cabaret Tom. NFS

This is how to get a sleeping dogs attention! She will do ANYTHING for cheese!

She's a neapolitan and bull mastiff mix. Her nose is stained orange because she eats pumpkin with her dinner, and her face has gone gray with age. She is also the best dog ever and it's simply not debatable. I just wanted to show her off.

My constant companion.
