Hi everyone! I'm new to the forum and also to owning a Mastiff, so I've been spending a lot of time reading through everyone else's experiences/advice on here and thought I'd go ahead and introduce myself.
My name is Maleri, and I recently adopted a 4 month old English Mastiff/Bullmastiff mix. I've read that some people call this breed "Doubull-Mastiff", but that might just be the whole "designer breed" name for what I just call a Mastiff His name (which the breeder had given him) is Mr. Grimmis but we just call him Grimmis-or Grim-for short. As I mentioned, I have never owned a Mastiff, but I do work with dogs and the breed has been my long-time favorite. So after a ton of research and experience with every other breed out there, my partner and I decided our home and hearts had plenty of room for a Mastiff of our own!
We have had him for about 4 weeks now, and yesterday(5/8/17) was his 5 month birthday. He weighed in at 63 lbs yesterday, and since I weigh him at work almost every day, I'm noticing that he's gaining about 4-6 lbs/week so far. I have a lot of questions that fall into different categories, and I am looking for all the advice I can get, being that I am new to this. I know this thread is only for introductions, so I will be posting in the appropriate areas with questions soon. I'm looking forward to talking with everyone here and hopefully being part of this community of Mastiff-lovers like myself!
p.s. I wanted to share some pics of Grimmis, because how can you not fall in love with this guy?!
