Hi i'm afraid i am new to this and this is my first post. We recently purchased an English mastiff after reading that they are really laid back and good with children. He came to us 3 week ago at 10 weeks old. In the time we have had him he has been great he loves been center of the family and is so loving. At the moment he is very bitey when excited but he is just playing and we are dealing with that. When we took him for his first injection 2 week ago he was fine until the needle went in and then i am sure that he tried to snap at the vet. I just thought well if someone stuck a dirty great needle in my neck and i didn't know what for i think i would snap too. Since then there has been no problems. Tonight my 5 year old son tried lifting him from the sofa, he put his arms around his chest and lifted him as he did this i heard Winston growl and then snap at his face. There is a tiny puncture wound in the side of my sons nose. Just don't know what to think, is it that my son maybe hurt him, is this a bad sign, any of your thoughts would be greatly appreciated thank you
