Congrats!!!! My EM farts can peel the paint for sure but noticeable difference when I changed his food to something that worked better for him and was much more nutritious. Let's see pictures of that baby!

Jaszie farts are pretty bad but we have her on what we think is a good food for her at about 23% protein and no wheat corn.. so she doesn't fart often.. but boy when she lets one rip you would think she took a deuce. Lol.. sometimes she even looks at me like dude you stink.. you should get that checked out.. i was sleeping and you woke me up with that one.. lmao

You can always get dna.test not too expensive.. but i would look at insurance for health because if breeder doesn't do their research it can be expensive.. i use nationwide.. enjoy the new pup i am glad you gave her a great new home

Yes i posted in health i think.. it's not cheap (about $70) a month $250 year deductible and they pay 90% after that for just about anything up to including cancer, HD, spay, flea-tick-heartworm meds,welness vet visits lots more..

Got Mastiff?
They are having programming issues since switching to a new server. Be patient it'll get fixed eventually. Some people have been investing in premium memberships which are very reasonably priced to help support and speed up the process. If you can try using photobucket, flickr, or imgur. IF you do a search there are a couple threads on how to post using those services. Someone also mentioned using FB, I haven't tried it but when I get time I will and make a thread on how to use that. I'm also willingto post photos for people that are having trouble. Just email them to EverythingEnglishMastiff@gmail.com with the subject as the name of the thread you want them posted in and as soon as I can I will post them on your behalf.

Personally, I'd pass and go to a reputable breeder that can, and will present full health boards on your dog's parents. Nothing like buying a pup with a lineage of severe health problems, and spending $2,000 to $4,000 to keep you from having to put your new puppy down due to health issues. The belly is concerning. If the folks that have him are competent breeders, how did he get in this condition in the first place. They should have been able to keep him from getting to a "morbid" condition due to worms (if it is worms) in the first place, before the "buy me" pics were presented.

I messed up on my puppy by not insisting on full health boards, but it looks (so far) like we got a rock solid dog anyway. My breeder claimed both expense of the boards, and several generations experience with her line knowing health is good. Sounded good at the time, but have learned I *should* have been more insistent. That being said, my boy does seem a very solid healthy dog.

There are people with a lot more dog sense on this forum than I have. They are better poised to advise you than me. However, this is my 2 cents worth. Good luck, I hope you enjoy whatever pup you end up with. Nothing than a dog to go home to and get your welcome home kiss.

You can never 100% guarantee The pup you get will be healthy akc or not, responsible breeder or not. And no matter 100% akc mastiff or not your puppy is 100% yours and you are going to be their whole world.. treat her right, train her right, feed and regular vet checks and i am sure she will be as good a member of your house as you could ask for..
