My new LITTLE buddy!

BlazinNano · Feb 4, 2011

Well this past weekend I drove up to North Carolina to go pickup Tank. I did not say a tank I said Tank. Here is my new little buddy. Tank is an English Mastiff. He is about 160 lbs and is still growing. He is a year and eight months old. Will probably gain another 30-40 lbs before he is done.

English Mastiffs are great dogs. Big lap dogs lol. Here is my baby next to my 100g tank. He was the runt of the litter

He has to the best dog I have ever had. Even though he is huge he is so gentle. Not very graceful because he is still a puppy. He is such an awesome dog.

Yeah they are extremely clumsy but they do it so gracefully :squigglemouth:. Also extremely loyal and protective over my kids, but thats how I raised him! Once we get settled in our new house I'm buying him a dame (although he's neutered so I can have him around longer). Mine is 3yrs old now and I made him grow slow to avoid all the growth problems. I kept him on the puppy food (less protein) until he was 2 1/2...He's just now starting to fill out...Good choice of breed. You drove a long ways to get him so you must of wanted one pretty bad yourself

He is so beautiful! I love his facial expressions, but I would hate doing the lawn land mine work :)

Yes I did drive a long way about 600 miles each way. English mastiff are my favorite breed. I have wanted one for a long long time. He is neutered as well. Even though his father and grandmother are champions he was never gonna be shown and was just gonna be a dog and be loved so his previous owner neutered him. Which I am all for. But he does come from a very strong and good bloodline which is a plus. His original owner drove from orlando to arkansas just to get him as a puppy. I drove from orlando to north carolina to get him.

Cleaning the lawn is easy. It is a hose with a nice spray nozzle....lol instant fertilizer
