New Puppy ...

So here is Duke. He is a 6 week old English Mastiff. For a six week old dog he's pretty big already, he has a very good pedigree and his father has already hit 230lbs at 2 years of age. His grandfather, a massive 250lbs as an adult. Just gonna work on growing this dog nice and slooooooow, so he doesn't run into some common problems associated with this breed.

- I dont wanna be a dick here but... to my knowledge it is illegal to purchase a pup younger than 8wks in Ohio. Mostly due to the fact the pup needs the mother still for nourishment, social environment etc... Just some info for the future.

 

However, that is a great looking dog. Great breed!

lol. Funny thing is the dog will probably be taller, tail to nose than me, and will probably weigh more.

 

Me = 6ft and 190lbs

 

Dog = probably fucking ginormous.

Cute dog. When he is a bit older, he will have to come play with my English Mastiff.

 

Definitely.

Cool dog. One of the largest breeds. And fyi for everyone, (this coming from someone who's raised dogs for performance and many animal science courses under his belt) leave your puppies, especially the large breed ones, with their mothers for at least 8 wks. It really can make the difference in temperment and health/build. That being said, it's not the end of the world if you don't and I see you seem to be already aware about proper growth reg and good supplements for a large breed puppy. Good luck! I'd love to see some pics of him at 6 months!

Very cute dog. It looks like the dog they called the beast in the Sandlot. Is that the same type of dog.
