New Mastiff owner

[GAIA]

Here is a picture of my new pup, GAIA. I rescued her from a friend of a friend who apparently did not need to be breeding pups. I was told that this is a pure bred English Mastiff. Now I really do not care, this is my pup. She is AWESOME!!! She is now 9 weeks old and weighs 28 pounds. I was just wondering if some of you experienced Mastiff owners could tell by the picture if she looks like a pure bred Mastiff. Either way, she's a keeper to me. Plus, how do Mastiffs do with other dogs. I have a 3 month Border Collie. They really seemed to hit it off well, once GAIA got used to her new home. My concern here, is the play biting they do. Do I need to put a stop to it or will Gaia learn her own strength as she gets older.

Thanks,

Mike

I can't tell from the picture her mask is so dark but she looks like I want to give her a big hug. Dogs playing is healthy just let her know if she gets out of line. Puppies are awesome,dogs are awesome, congrats.

Thanks, acoz...she is awesome and very huggable

Cant be sure but she does look like a purebred to me. Thick leg bones big feet colored correctly and has the mastiff head and face.

Thanks for the reply, Ryan. She is thick that is for sure.

she looks like a purebred to me but it seems like she does have a lot of white on her chest. some mastiffs do, the akc just doesnt like it.

Hello and welcome to the board! Very cute puppy!

Yeah, I noticed that the pic does seem like there is a lot of white, but when I look at her, there really isn't.
