We're new to forum, hailing from Asheville, NC. We're training a mastiff therapy dog (NOT Service Dog) and just passed our AKC CGC test. He's been socialized since 7 weeks old, with everything, everyone you can think of, and we're starting to do some scent work. Look forward to checking out this...

Hi guys! I just wanted to get in touch with some other Cane Corso owners. Not many people own them where I live. I currently have an 9 month old Cane Corso puppy. I have never owned a corso before. I really hadn't even heard of the breed. I am a dog trainer and groomer, and have had big...

After considering all the costs, responsibilities and burdens of owning a dog, I have made the decision to get one of my own. I have considerable experience with dogs in general, having grown up with six of them in the house. Together with my mother I helped raise two labradors, two cocker...

I just adopted an 8 year old English Mastiff who was severely abused and starved. The shelter managed to get him to gain over 25 lbs (from 52 up to 75 lbs) in a month, but he can stand to gain another 25-30 lbs. Since we took him home a few days ago he has been resistant to eating. I have tried...

Help! Searching for a IATA compliant travel crate for my 200 lb. EM. Will be transporting him to Rome and cannot find an airline approved size kennel for him other than a custom metal kennel @ $2000. His measurements would require a 54L x 35W x 45H crate. The largest we can find is: Giant = 48"L...

Hi I need some help with my dog. I have a beautiful 4 year old dogue de Bordeaux, he is a very big and powerful dog and because of this he makes people afraid. Since the dog was roughly 1 he has been an outdoor dog, this is simply due to the fact that my family were nervous of his size and...

We were given a pup in April that weighed 40lbs and still had all of his puppy teeth. The former owners said he was American Bulldog/GSD mix. He started losing his puppy teeth within 2 weeks. Our best guess is that he's now 8-8.5 months old and currently weighs 80lbs and is 24" at the withers...

This is my 9 week (today) old rescue sandy. She was described as a mastiff/German shepherd mix but we have been told by a few people that have seen her she looks pretty small for a mastiff mix. Do you think her description fits her or do you have any guesses you would like to share. I included a...

Are puppies born with jowls or do they develop as the dog gets older? My mastiff seems tight lipped now (like a pit) can that change with time?

Hello I am looking to adopt a medium-energy, large dog and I am considering a mastiff. I found this one and was wondering if anyone could figure out his pointy ears, which I could not find in any mastiff puppies, along with several other characteristics that lead me to believe he is a mix. I am...

My 8 year old EM Orco has gone downhill fast in the past 4 days. It started with him just being slower than usual when we walked and by Sunday night he didn't even want to go outside anymore. Took him to the vet first thing in the morning, blood test was done and his Liver ATL levels are so...

Hey! I currently own a three year old shar-pei mix. She's on the smaller side due to her second half, but visably appears to be a shar-pei. I will be moving soon, and am not entirely comfortable with the area I'll be moving too. My dog is protective, and definitely sounds scary, but due to her...

Hi everybody! Thanks so much for reading my post and taking a second to respond! My 7 year old english mastiff has had several issues over the last year including severe allergies which have successfully been treated with 2 rounds of prednisone, arthritis flare ups treated with Rymadil and...

Hello everyone, I'm at my wits end. I have an English mastiff (Sam), I've had him since he was 2 months old (December of '10) and to this day, have not been able to house train or crate train him. The situation has been pretty much the same since he was several months old, he won't usually...

In Balt, MD: Oscar is a one year old gorgeous brindle Mastiff-Pitbull mix who was rescued in Maryland from euthanasia. He still has puppy energy and loves to interact with people. He is friendly and playful with other dogs and enjoys getting plenty of exercise. He loves to snuggle as well...

I'm curious about a number of large dog breeds and their compatibility in general. I've owned black labs my entire life, so I'm pretty used to their chipper, easily sociable nature. Overall they're a piece of cake, but I don't plan on just owning nothing but labs in the future. I've taken a...
