  • Welcome back!

    We decided to spruce things up and fix some things under the hood. If you notice any issues, feel free to contact us as we're sure there are a few things here or there that we might have missed in our upgrade.

    Panda update

    10 months old now. I'm not sure how big he is but when we went to a Great Dane play date somehow he was the biggest one there.

    Hello! New here!

    Welcome. I had an EM for over 10 years, he was the greatest. Two tips I can give are to remember that she will be big and that you don't want her to learn things that are great and cute when small but could be problems at over 100 lbs and to go with that is to get her trust and have her want to...

    Panda update

    6.5 months old 84lbs and 29 inches at the shoulder. It has started to warm up (except for the snow today) and it turns out he loves water. We are also looking at getting a taller fence since unlike Kryten he does not keep all 4 paws on the ground while keeping watch.

    Panda update

    My oh so dignified puppy. He is now taller than Jiggers and only about 5lbs lighter. The cone was because a mean old twig decided to stab his dewclaws. He did not like that twig at all. The old man turned 12 this weekend and is still not amused by puppy antics most of the time.

    Mastiffs for beginners?

    My second dog was an English Mastiff and my first dog was only 10 months older than him so basically I still counted as a beginner dog owner as I didn't have dogs growing up. The biggest thing I can recommend is to be really honest with yourself about what you can handle from a dog. Kryten was...

    Panda update

    Panda is getting big. He now 61 lbs and 25.75 inches tall at 21 weeks old. I really didn't think he would be comparable to Kryten even though I knew Kryten was a slow grower. Kryten at this age was 63 lbs and 22.5 inches. The poor boy put on almost 2 inches this week alone which does explain the...

    Introducing Panda

    I'm still around but one of the reasons I'm not posting is that I first have to resize any photos I want to upload. Panda is now 19 weeks old and 55.8 lbs and 24 inches at the shoulder (butt is higher). They occasionally play now but Jiggers really is a cantankerous old man when it comes to...

    Introducing Panda

    Jiggers is 11 and very much a grumpy old man. He seems to be more comfortable as Panda gets bigger.

    Introducing Panda

    I wasn't sure if I would be back on here after Kryten died but our new puppy is a Great Pyrenees/Great Dane mix so he fits here. He is so NOT what Kryten was a puppy. Panda's nickname is Little Demon. It took most of the 5 weeks since he came home but Jiggers is now playing with him. He is now...

    It's been a while.

    It has been a while since I've been on here and thought I would give an update for those that may remember Kryten and Jiggers. I still have both although age is starting to affect them both. They are now 10 and 11 so it's not unexpected although watching Kryten struggle at times really sucks. He...

    More sadness

    Oh that sucks. I am so sorry, they really are here for too short a time. Even worse when age is not what takes them from you.

    New puppy! Normal weight?

    I second what Boxergirl said. My English Mastiff was 24 lbs when I got him at 11 weeks, and the largest in his litter. Online growth charts said he should be 40 lbs at that age. He is around 200lbs now and is a big boy for the breed. Puppy size doesn't always indicate adult size.
