Large Breed Dogs Anyone?

LRT · Apr 18, 2020

Hi All just wanted to start a thread here- Mainly so I dont have to continue to hi jack @Mastiffsrule thread haha.
Brief history we just had one of our 14 yrs old mixed breed pass away last year. Very sad and my wife took it super bad.
Prior to her passing we had been in discussion about adding a new member to the family. We agreed on one thing she wanted a smaller easier to care for dog and I wanted a big dog and after a couple years debate of getting a new puppy she finally came to me one day and said maybe it is time.
To me that was the green light I needed lol! And I ran out and picked up the biggest dog I could find at the moment hahahaha.
I feel like my wife instantly knew that's exactly what I was going to do lol.
Anyhow since bringing our new baby home my wife has fallen in love with this monster! He doesnt leave her side.
Biggest baby in the world literally afraid of his own shadow. Our joke in the house is it's ok he has mama but i protect him haha.
Super well behaved and socialized there are videos of him floating around youtube with a baby wiener his own age crawling all over his head lol.
Just got his DNA back today he is 37.5% Dogue Bourdeax Mastiff, 37.5% Cane Corso and the rest Bull Mastiff.
Super happy to hear no risk for any issues besides he may need to wear glasses when he gets older lol
He is 9 months old and 117 lbs his last appt!
He gained 1.75lbs/day his first 2 weeks we brought him home lol. Wasn't very small for long haha
Anyhow I could talk about my boy Moose all day long.

Love big dog breeds let's see your?
Thanks all

Only time we get any is right after he drinks his water. We had two of them up until about a year ago, Beethoven was the older one and he lived to 14 years old. Love Saints, would never have any other breed.

Here he is being a lap dog...lol

Cutest puppies ever all around. Waiting to hear some good flatulence (fart) stories. Pardon my French.

Trixie’s full of them, stories I mean.

I’m sure that was a tough loss, but 14 is an amazingly long life.

I have 2 Pyrenees mixes. I think I’ll always have a working breed dog, but I’m not sure I’ll have 2 dogs again. The smaller female is about 60lbs and get very food/attention aggressive with the 120lb one.

Dude I'll be honest my farts make my wife want to divorce me she's been dealing with it for a long time lol.
Moose farts are on a whole other level even make me sick.
I'm currently building a dog mansion in the back yard due to other reasons like we cant leave him home by himself with him totally wrecking the house and chewing up everything.
It's only for when we aren't home lol

Beautiful and great working dogs. We recently visited a ranch these people where raising llamas or something and those dogs where on point. They guarded the gates like soldiers and killed off lots of coyotes that tried to get the babies according to the farmer.
Huge beautiful dogs I wanted to bring them home.

2 newfoundlands myself. One pushing 150, the other just a mere 110. Then of course we have the wife's "lap" dog, a 35 pound pug/pomeranian mix

I've always owned large breed dogs, even when I was a kid. To me anything under 60 pounds is a cat. lol

If they all weren't in bed upside down with the wife, I could post a pic.

For slobbering and food, look up the neater feeder. Best investment for a water bowl I've ever made.

This is from when she(Abbie May Lynn Webb) was still a 1 year old pup, roughly 90 pounds here.

Nice dogs everyone! Had a bullmastiff that passed away a few years ago and we welcomed our new mastiff Gus at the end of last year. He is already awkward with our pitty!
