Really, really pretty pup. :)

I look forward to watching her grow.

Good to hear that she's doing well on the raw diet and growing. Remember, slow and steady growth is key to a healthy mastiff as they continue to grow until 2-3 years of age.

Pics are necessary to prove she's growing or we do not believe you. *winking*

yes I didn't weight her on purpose lol. I happened onto a scale at vet but I probably won't weigh her for a while. She's getting tons of rest and playtime. I'll take some more pics in a week or two.

Pictures coming but she's doing great. Obedience classes and still full of energy. Weighed her today and she's 40.4lbs at 17 weeks. Very lean imo which is great because I don't want her to grown too fast. Raw diet with some probiotics that finally has her more regular with her stools. She had a little bacteria in her stool last vet check so I dewormed again and she's doing great. FYI, I'm doing more freezing of the food before feeding to her to make sure I get rid of any bacteria.

Another update. Belita is now 5 months old and somewhere between 60-70lbs, still doing well. Finishing up basic obedience training and she's still a very well behaved pup. Here's an updated pic. Raw diet and some probiotics and enzymes to make sure her system is handling everything properly. Found a vet who is very much into more natural and wholistic supplements. I got her 2nd round of vaccinations and decided to run titers to see if they took before doing a 3rd round. Blood test came back strong so I didn't even need the 3rd round. I was happy about that. Will update in a month or so.

Update. Switched over to Blue Ridge Beef raw to save some preparation energy and a little of my sanity. Will see how she does. So far, we both are liking it. A couple weeks ago (5 months 26 days) she was 70lbs. She went swimming in the river for the first time and loved it. Next weight in this week, I will update. . .
