I once saw a nearly-full-grown English one in PetSmart. The owner had the 210lb pup on a leash, talking to another customer. In saunters a tiny Pug; all, what, 15 lbs of him. The Pug was literally throwing himself at the Mastiff's side, barking, snarling, and growling. The Mastiff just looked at the Pug, as much as to say, "Yeah, right pal. My knees are shaking." I swear, I wish I had a video of it! It was one of the funniest things I've ever seen! BTW, I petted the Mastiff, who was a big sweetie, very gentle (thank God!). I asked the owner about how big he'd get: "Oh about 220-235 lbs." And he had 2 more at home! He also laughed hysterically when I inquired about his dog food bill..Originally Posted by Natalie_ca
No kidding!!
That link is priceless. I loved the part about the fog and butt staring! LOL
On Wednesday when I was at the Vet's a woman came in with her 12 week old Mastiff puppy. He was such a doll! It was the first time I'd seen one. His head was huge and so were his paws.
She said he was a pure bred English Mastiff. He looked a bit like this little one here: http://www.englishmastiff.org.uk/frontc.jpghttp://pictopia.com/perl/get_image?p...hoto_id=137740
I just did a google search to see how big they get when full grown!

OMG!In addition to my full time nursing salary I'd have to take on a part time job just to keep him in food!
