I was just reading an article and it was saying that Mastiffs don't have Webbed Toes?? I know they werent bred for swimming but I am pretty sure almost every mastiff I have clipped nails on had Web Toes....

Everyone please check their Mastiffs for WEBS. I NEED TO KNOW!!!! Lol.

P.S I looked at Barrons feet and there are Webs. I checked Dukes(Lab) he has slightly web toes but noithing like Barrons... What is goinhg on!

Kujo definitely has webbed toes. Check your sources, sounds like a bad article.

Webs here, too. Denna LOVES water, too... so much, I thought she would swim away at the dog park the other day and not come back. I was VERY glad she didn't sink - which she did on her first swimming trip in deep water. She stopped paddling to shake water out of her ears and sank like a rock. :)

At the end of summer last year when Barron was 3 months old he swam to the middle of the river to Matt and I. We were so proud. Hoping that this summer he remembers he can swim and still likes the water :)

Yep, ditto Boris! My spousewich noticed first, as our Danes and Wolfies don't have them, and he was surprised Boris did.

Yep Jade is a Boercoot. Loves the lake and her pool. Runs from the hose like a sissy girl.
