And I do mean GREAT. We are adopting an American Mastiff. The American Mastiff is a Mastiff breed that consists of both the English Mastiff and the Anatolian Mastiff. The intent of the breed is to maintain the size, disposition and appearance of a Mastiff with fewer health problems and less drooling.
There are currently only 10 breeders, so it’s a bit of a rare breed. That also means we have to make a trip to get our dog. We learned tonight that a breeder in Ohio will have a dog available for us, ready to pickup March 19th.
We’re getting a female with Fawn coloring. Females are typically 28 to 34 inches and weigh a svelte 140 to 180 pounds. This litters mother is two years old, 30 inches at the shoulder and weighs 145. The father is only 18 months, but stands at 35 inches and 185 pounds.
Mastiff’s are well known for their calm disposition and being great family dogs, especially with children. A friend of ours brought their bullmastiff to visit us and we were just amazed at how calm she was and how good she was with the kids.
We’re very excited and can’t wait to begin this adventure.
