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!

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.

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'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?

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

I think our puppy is broken! /s

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 💕💖!!!

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

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

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.

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

My constant companion.

Upside down bunny to shark in 1 second 😂

So I'm looking to adopt this female puppy from a reputable shelter in my area, they have it listed as a "mastiff mix", born 7/16. I was hopefully wondering if someone might have a slight idea, or educated guess, based on information and pictures provided.

The shelter does not do DNA tests so would like some help on maybe what to expect or do more research on since there are a few lol. I haven't had the chance to meet the dog yet, that should hopefully happen Saturday 🤞

Any help would be appreciated 😁

Isn't she the cutest! 9 weeks old and growing everyday!!
