Hey everyone!
Sorry it’s been a little bit. Seems like forever since I gave you an update on Bayne!
He is still growing strong. He is now 10 months old and seems like he’s calming down a little. But he still has lots of playful puppy in him.
9 months old he weighed in at 190-195 I believe it was. 10 months old now approximately 200-205. I’ll have him weighed fairly soon cause he needs his nails cut.
I took him for a bike ride yesterday. Took me a little bit to get him to understand the bike , and being tied to it and where to be next to it. At first he was all over the place, but with some treats and guidance he quickly got it. I slowly went around the yard with success so I took him for a little ride.
I kept the speed slow as I know these are no running dogs by any means. Hopefully my short ride with him won’t hurt him either. It was approximately 4-5km or 2.5-3 miles.
I kept the speed slow , he was very good at staying right next to me and if he tried to pull, it would nudge my bike but with me on the bike he couldn’t pull it.
He was at a slow trot for a pace. Would’ve been a slow jog pace for me.
He did it incredibly.
let me know what you guys think about biking (slowly) with a mastiff.
He does get 2100mg of glucosamine a day along with 1100mg of chondroitin.
He loves to go for walks , or jogs if I let him. He loves to sleep all day but if I hook the leash up to him and go on the road , it’s game time.
I tried measuring him, I get conflicted reviews on “how to”
I measure in line with his front paws as his shoulders would be there. From what I was told the dogs head should be up, as it rolls the shoulder up. That’s how they would present themselves in an “attention” stand.
Others tell me it should be when his head is lower.
Head down he is 32.5 then head up it turns into 35 and maybe 1/4.
So take that for how it is lol. You can say he’s either 32 or 35.
I don’t want to lie about 3 inches though then disappoint
He still is eating strong. 10 cups (4070cal) min a day but average is still 12 cups (4884cal) a day
Then sometimes he’s really hungry I guess on a more active day and he eats 14 cups (5698cal) but that’s not often.
