Breed: Mastiff

Bath

Mastiffs

I do understand how hard it can be to rear the giant breeds, they face many challenges. I was concerned about eyes in this entry. Many were too slack in pastern and had poor feet, something that often gets worse with age. Please consider these points in breeding and rearing.

Puppy D (1)

Sadly the only entry wasn’t sound
