Professional photo shoot photos

Cassie — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 14:10:49 GMT

We attended the Wildwood NJ show this past weekend and although my girls only won their classes, we had a wonderful time! There was a professional pet photographer there and she did great getting pictures of my girls and my kids. I will have the actual photos in about 2 weeks but I thought I would share some photos of the shoot.... and a few of the girls on the beach for the first time

how smart are mastiffs?

Dixie — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 09:39:19 GMT

I think they are smart dogs. We couldn't figure out how Storm got things out of our
closets. We just thought we forgot to close the closet doors. Then I happened to
catch him in the act. He first head butts the closet door and then swings his head
towards the left, pushing the door open. Then he helps himself to whatever he wants.

Tonight, my husband left the lever to the gate handle up an inch. Storm just took his nose, flipped the lever up, head butted the gate and walked right through.

I think we are in trouble. What do you dogs do?

Thyroid screening

dixierockstarr — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 01:42:32 GMT

I had a thyroid screening done on Dixie today, no reason for it other than I have seen it suggested here several times. Dr said the low end of normal is 1.1 hers is 1.0 so its low.

I'm not sure what this means. Plan on having a detailed conversation with the vet in the morning but until then what can you guys tell me about this?

VA area and US breeders?

MindyMc — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 01:35:03 GMT

Have a lovely friend looking to connect with some good breeders to add another mastiff to the family. Right now just looking to connect ( no litters right now necessary) she is willing to travel anywhere for the right pup but she is located in VA. I think she is looking for some breeders to start with and decide when the timing is right.

Im going to give her a few names I know of but...any suggestions would be great. Thanks so much!

Only in my house.......

Like I have said time and time before, no one in this house is normal......

Metabolism issue??

goodmama — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 16:39:03 GMT

We've been owned by mastiffs since the mid 90's but recently acquired a female who has me perplexed. We rescued her from a bad situation a few months ago and spent considerable effort getting her healthy and used to being loved. She was flea ridden, probably abused and had worms out the wazoo. She's still somewhat skittish but she's the sweetest companion you'll ever meet. I was given a pedigree when I got her but judging by her appearance, her breeding seems questionable. No matter, we love her just the same! She's been given a clean bill of health but she's definitely on the thin side. (a little over a year old) Normally this wouldn't bother me since the growth rate of mastiffs varies greatly however, if not fed first thing in the morning, she pukes. Also, no matter how often/how much she's fed, she poops at least 3 times a day. At least! And I'm not talking baby sized bowel movements either...lol! I know there's lots of opinions on nutrition but we feed both dogs Nutromax since our old guy has always done well on it. This seems like more than a nutrition issue. Other than the issues mentioned, she's a healthy/happy/playful dog. Any thoughts?

Happy 9th Birthday my beautiful Bella

Burping??

MindyMc — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 13:47:25 GMT

Trucker has been burping about 1-2 times after he eats. ( Not every meal but at least once a day) Loud burp. Is this a sign his kibble doesn't agree with him or eating too fast? No other problems just the burping.

Very interesting new product

EileenDurante — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 17:27:41 GMT

I wonder if this would be 98% accurate for stud dogs too?

It's Good to be Teddy!

hman — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 04:09:46 GMT

I've written to you all about how people in the summer (when our beach restaraunt is open) ask me if they can buy Teddy a slice of pizza. We walk down there every night at around closing time and he "melts" people who insist on buying him a slice.

Today, we went to PetSmart to buy some lizard supplies. One of the employees was playing with him and she insisted on buying him a toy. I told her it was not necessary, but she was persistent.

She found a stuffed squeaky toy that he liked, brought it to the register, paid for it and gave it to Teddy.

That says a lot for our breed and my Teddy as well. I doubt that this happens very often.

Mastiffs have a way of getting to dog lovers. After all, they are the ultimate expression of the dog!

Again, the PetSmart employee bought Teddy a toy with her own money! That's amazing!

Mask Color 101

LindaGreeson — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 17:47:38 GMT

How important is the mask in a Mastiff? When we lose color, where does that come from??

Years ago there was a Dogge de Bordeau imported and she was registered as a mastiff. she is in many of our pedigrees. Obviously, there was no mask on her. I wonder if linebreeding back to her is what is responsible for the faded masks?
