Thoase pups are huge. Look like awesome dog's. Like a horse lol.Check out the American Mastiff. Same idea, minus the drooling. Both are gigantic.

[body88]

He must be talking about the English Mastiff Body88....those dogs grow to be very big even bigger then my biggest Mastino...
The next dog i will buy will be a English Mastiff...

Yes I think you are correct. The English mastiff is a fine dog. How is your pup? Did you see in my pat's thread the American and British flags being flown together ? I took that pic for you to see!

Also, 50 percent of the tourists who visit Boston are from the UK.

The head vet where my girlfriend works brings her mastiff to work every day and that thing is about the same size, i think i brought it on the scale one time and it was 244 or 247 lbs.  Ridiculously strong, yet calm and collected dog.  i played tug of war with it and him and it might have been the best lat workout i've ever had.

My puppy is 81 lbs and takes monster dumps twice per day. I can only imagine cleaning up after a 250 lb English mastiff

How much dog food he go through per week?

[body88]

How much dog food he go through per week?

3 cups in the am. 3 cups at night. He goes through a large bag every 5 or six weeks. He is lean and growing right now. I can just see the slightest hint of his ribs when he walks. Which is about the perfect condition. He has a good deal of muscle at this point. I think he will gain another 10 - 15. He will grow until he is 3 years old.

Pup was animal aggressive. Lack of socialization will cause that. A dog can mistake a small running child for a small animal.Then you have big problems. Socialization is very important (especially for extremely large dogs with a strong prey drive) If you own a dog like that and do not properly socialize and train him it makes it harder for the responsible owners out there. Glad she gave him away and he is doing well guarding. No offense.

Btw ,what type of Mastiff was it? 245 lbs ridiculously big even for a mastiff.

Mastiffs have incredible bite strength, they are physically strong as well.  They don't have the agility, endurance and drive of an AB, which is why I got an AB years ago instead of an English Mastiff.  Not to mention the breeder I was talking to in Temecula's male was 255, the bitch 220.  I didn't want to have to feed a 220 lb monster, nor pick up it's poop.  With the proliferation of APBTs in Hawaii, I wanted a dog that could handle an aggressive APBT (who used to beat the snot out of my Lab), and guard the house.  So AB it was.

I assumed Only was referring to a bullmastiff. English mastiffs are pretty rare in the us. I have seen one in my entire life. Have you ever seen a dogo? Those are nice pups also.

Only just said mastiff and did not specify which type. So I assumed the most common one. Def was an American or English. Those suckers get huge.

big pit

[body88]

That has american bulldog in it. You can tell by the chest and hindquarters. Big boy none the less. A full grown pit should be 70 lbs at the absolute largest imo.

Not according to the UKC judge i talked to.  He said he will look at pits up to 85 pounds and consider them to meet "current" breed standards.  that said, yes, the above dog does have some american bully in him, probably "alpahala blue blood" bull dog blood.  I've found thru research that these dogs are very commonly mixed with pits to create a large, large dog.

exactly what i want... however im finding that its super tough to find respectable breeders that will almost guarentee 70lbs and under...  especially in the NY area... every kennel has MONSTER, MOBSTER, or CRUSHER in front of "pit bull"...

these are two breeders that seem to have the look and size i think im looking for that are also within drivin distance of me

body, i know you had said it would be best to look over the pup b4 purchase, but many kennels say theyll provide pictures, and updates of the pups... whats ur opinion on that?... and how do pups usually respond to being shipped?


and yes i know what uber means

A pitbull in true form should be between 35 and 70 lbs.  They may now be recognized to be shown at a higher weight but fighters would never use a dog that large. Which is good, we need more 70 plus pound pits so fighters do not want them!

Little out of touch with the showing of pits. I still was under the impression pits where not recognized to be shown in shows. I thought it was only staffy's still!

You might want to look at a standard /Scott American bulldog. If you stick with the pit just research and talk to breeders.

My opinion on buying a puppy is, if you can look the pup over in person that is the best bet. Make your pick in person if possible. If that is not an option just research a lot and buy from a reputable breeder with hip and health guarantees.Both those pits look good. I have no idea about the breeders.

Take a look at this scott/hines strain American bull. A pure Scott looks has a bit longer nose. They look like big pits.
