So I posted a few hours ago about the price and so forth. It was a very small community in farmland basically but I fell in love. A couple questions...

1) I saw the mom and dad and they were nice. There was another female mastiff a year old.They had a cat and 1 other mastiff pup. One was more playful and energy and the other was a little bigger, longer and huge paws. The bigger one was lazier and calm which I wanted. So of course I took the bigger one . Both the same litter and 4 months old . Is it weird their personality was day and night? One calm and looked bigger and the other a little smaller and jumping all over the place.We have a shitzu and my wife has never had a dog over 10lbs so calm big dogs are good. We went to petsmart and 5 different people stop to chat about our new mastiff. it was awesome.The trainer hung out with us. He noticed a cyst by the neck. He said it could be a gland but it might go away. Im bringing her to the vet tomorrow. Hopefully good news. I have the AKC papers if that matters. My main problem is she is very calm and her eyes are bloodshot bad. I will wait till tomorrow. Hopefully they will clear up. Anyone here know why they would be so red?

2) Anyone recommend a cool Girl name for a Fawn english mastiff?

First up. Congrats!
Second. Pics?
Third. I had a choice of Junior or his brother, and according to the breeder they had totally different personalities. One pretty mellow (NOT Junior) and then Mr. Balls to the wall. The bigger pup you got could just be the easy going, and larger than life EM.
Fourth. You'll ALWAYS get people who want to talk about pup, get used to it. ;)

Let us know about that cyst. I'd be a little concerned about it as any new pup owner would. Eyes so red? Long car ride?

How about, Fawna? :)

Congrats on the new puppy. The cyst could be from being bitten during play. My friend's Neo came home with them and a trip to the vet confirmed it. Still, get it checked as you want to make sure it is nothing serious. You will also want to know how to properly clean it if it bursts (which is not pretty, trust me). Names, I have no idea as I am still trying to pick out a name for my pup. My husband wants Ginormica from Monsters vs Aliens but I don't think so. Try cleaning around the eye and then monitor to see if they get better. And a second for pictures.
