I had a female English Mastiff, who grew up with my kids. There was no better Nanny dog than her. She was so loving, gentle, fun, but had natural guarding instinct. In my neighborhood, there was a slough of home break-ins, well my home was never broken into. Sad to say we lost her after 10 years. Best dog I ever had.
Anytime we lose our dogs it's always too soon. Just lost my shar pei and she was only 12. The years fly by.
@@lennybrewster4673 sorry for your loss.
When I was little Our neighbors had an english mastiff named Josie and they had a Great Dane named max but Josie was who I hung around the most I remember how huge she was but what I also remember was how extremely gentle she was around me my sisters and my neighbors children even the neighborhood cats were comfortable around her Max was a sweet dog just a live wire full of energy but Josie was always the tender soul never jumping never once growled in aggression. She died at the right age of 11 rest well sweet soul Josie
I agree I have seen English Mastiffs let kids rough house with them while they lay there. Then the kids sleep right next to the dog. It is even a breed cats can get along with.
My son has an English Mastiff and I never knew the breed until he got one. I am so over the top in love with the dog. I put in a fence and my whole house is set up for him. When my son travels or needs me to take him my whole place is ready. I go into a downward spiral when he leaves. I have never known such a loving sweet dog in my life. I feel so safe with him and he sleeps with me. I think they are fairly easy to care for, I have him on a routine and he loves it. I love him so much.
The mastiff breeds really are such amazing, and loving dogs. My boy is 170 pounds and the kids love him (even though he just gets annoyed by them 😂)
Gentile giants
you need one for yourself!!!
I’ve had 9 mastiffs …5 tescues and bought 4. My last dyeing wish will be 1 more mastiff in my life.
I think you need your own English Mastiff so your not lonely when he goes home :)
@@lisagfrerer9429 I want one so bad and hope to have one someday soon.
These dogs dont get anywhere near the amount of love and attention the breed deserves. Definitely one of the best dogs out there, so loving, loyal and gentle.
You are spot on ❤
That's a good thing. Too much demand is a surefire way to ruin the breed for generations.
@@whiskybrush3219absolute facts! 💯
Because they are a sickly breed that is over typey that is way bigger than they used to be and made them drool non stop...
I met a retired couple, probably in their 70’s, in Ocala, Fl several years back that had a 230lb English Mastiff. It was a very well mannered animal to say the least. The couple trained their pup to use the bathroom in the bathroom, on the toilet. It would go in lift both lids, do it’s business, then flush as well as put the seat back down. With that being said, in my experience, I think they are very intelligent. They just move at their pace is all.
I was going to say something similar. He is speaking in generalities. Dogs are unique and the mastiffs I’ve owned have been very intelligent and easy to train.
That's remarkable. I wonder what they gave it for bathroom reading material.
@@humanbeing2420 - Playdog and Doghouse
@@humanbeing2420 well he was english so probably carp monthly or country life
😂@@thatsthat2612
Just had our English mastiff at the park today with the family. About 7 or 8 kids came up to see him and he did amazing.
How old? I have a 4yo, and I'm looking into this breed. I was told the best age to adopt one is when they're between 1-2yo.
My wife and I got ours when our girls were 6 and 5 I believe. He was a puppy and stayed a puppy until not too long ago. He's right around 3 now, but he was always manageable. We preferred a puppy and was able to never let him jump on people are play bite on fingers. One thing I would say to people who would allow them to do these things is at 20lbs it's not that bad at 200lbs it's another story. Hope this helps.
@@codyochoa3749 It helps a lot, thank you!
@@Nurse_Shelly44with an English mastiff it really doesn’t matter tho just get a pup and he will the best friend of ur child for years
@@jibsij3964 Thanks!!!!
I had a female English Mastiff for over 10 years. I lost her in July this year. She was very smart, earned multiple titles in AKC Agility, AKC Nose Work, and NACSW Nose Work. She loved her people, every child she saw, and was serious about watching our home. I previously had Dobermans. I just bought my second English Mastiff. She is 4 months old, learns quickly, loves to please, and is smart as can be. The English Mastiff is a wonderful breed.
Do you like the Mastiff more than the Doberman's? Which one is more protective?
@@NBid-rp9ch The Dobes were more protective quickly. But the Mastiff had great instinct so she watched first and reacted if she detected a threat. She was very gentle, quiet, and loving. The Dobes were busier. They were great obedience dogs. The mastiff did nose work and was bonded with me. Both great breeds. I had to think awhile before I got my puppy.
@@MastiffMomofFiona 👌🏿Thanks
Grace and peace. I am sorry to hear about the loss of your Mastiff. I too had my Mastiff Tank pass away a couple of years ago that I adopted from a shelter and had for quite some time. They are a beautiful, big breed. Would you mind telling me where you bought your new Mastiff puppy from as I am now ready to get another Mastiff? Thank you for any information and have a blessed day and the best with your new fur baby.
I have a 9 month old English Mastiff. I’ve never experienced a more loving, cuddly dog. She follows me everywhere and is my absolute best friend. I also have a 4 and 6 year old and she is super gentle and patient with them. I am so in love.
I am 19 years old, my mom, and I had our first pet when I was 5 and she was 25, that was her first ever pet, she never had one as a kid, and of course that meant it was my first pet. And it was a 6 week old, English mastiff. Lola, was the absolute best dog you could ask for, wouldn’t hurt a fly unless they are threatening who they love, they are amazing around a variety of dogs, I had a pit bull, a bull pit (bulldog pit mix) Doberman mini pin, and a Maltese. And she caused the least trouble. I was 14 when she died and I was crushed. She was 9 years old, and had lived past crazy injury’s to her hips, bc mastiffs get bad hips after half their life. But she was so gentle and loving and cuddly, she got me through a lot of trauma as a kid. I’d sleep on her big belly 5 nights outta the week. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think about her and it’s been almost 6 years
This is THE breed that created the phrase “Man’s best friend”. I’ve never felt love from anything or anyone on this planet like I do from my Mastiff.
❤
Best dogs ever! Have owned four of them over the last two decades.
PS; It's not drool...it's liquid love. 😉🐶💖
Lol omg I love this
I grew up with these dogs. My mother used to show them. One day when we were on a walk, some random dog attacked my brother and bit him badly. Our dog at the time was a 200 pound mastiff named Tinkerbell, who was usually afraid of everything. My mom let her off the leash and she charged this random dog and nearly killed it. Tinkerbell was the most gentle and sometimes timid and cowardly dog I'd ever met and I'd never seen her even bark at something out of anger. Absolutely fantastic dogs.
I just lost my English Mastiff ( Ruby ) she past away 1 week before her 11th birthday , in all that time she only did one thing wrong when she ate a corned beef off the kitchen table , that's it . I would agree with most things you said accept the grooming they are heavy shedders , have owned a New Foundland before and she had nothing on my Mastiff . Another thing to keep in mind if they are sick or injured and you have to get them to the vet they are very difficult to get in the car if they cant" hop in there self
Sorry for your loss
Thank you
Thank you for the helpful advice about thinking about how to get them into the car if sick or injured. I'm just new to owning one and hadn't thought about it.
@@thehoofandpaw My Mastiff was having problems getting into the car as he got older. I went on Amazon bought foldable stairs for my SUV. They are perfect fold up small and mine hold 300 pounds & cost about $100. They have many different types to choose from.
@@Hank9462 Thank you!
11:43 “They dont be drooling all day everyday as u can see he’s not drooling right now”
*Starts drooling😂
Extremely accurate. My English mastiff is amazing with my kids but he can turn it on from 0-100. Luckily the the only time was being mounted by a pit bull and the owner claimed responsibility. No dogs were hurt though
English Mastiffs are big teddy bears, very gentle 🧸
Family had one named Thor for 11 years inside dog he was 219lbs at his end but was up to 228lbs at one point finally put down as he was unable to walk and he was part of the family, one of the best Dogs we’ve had.
Only time he ever bit something out of anger/protection was a horse that ran up too quickly behind my sister, horse got about 10 ft from her And Thor was having none of it … no hesitation from him taking on 900+lbs , and the horse took off running in a panic 😅 no serious injury just a couple teeth marks, no after chase either, just enough to get rid of what he felt was a threat and he was back by her side.
I will say that a Mastiff’s protection growl/bark even though rarely ever used is top tier
S rank
Very deep and guttural, resonating with power, and will make anyone or anything second guess their intentions. 😰
For home protection I would say they are A tier deterrent
But don’t expect them to be a full blown attack dog in a home invasion situation they are more of a one or two bite type of defense/guardian dog
More of a presence deterrent than attack deterrent
For an attack home defense dog I would recommend
Wolfdog
Rhodesian Ridgeback
Rottweiler
Take the time to pick and train the right wolf dog, and they are lethal property protectors, Tier S++ best dog family has ever owned was a wolf dog named Cookie she lived 14 years, and even Thor was no match even outweighing her by 60lbs.
when it came to protective nature and sheer ferocity Cookie was a beast!
She would literally be licking her lips snarling stalking forward at strangers like a real wolf!
I dare say she could and would have been able kill a grown man or at least a teenager if given the go ahead. Just be sure you are ready and able to put in the time to train properly from birth or you could wind up with a loose cannon .
...ive had two english mastiffs.. I'd 100% have another one. I have a Corso right now.. I wanted to change things up. Love my corso too.
Can you compare their guard / protective instincts, in your personal experience?
@MrXerxes Similar, for Females. Females are more protective about their people.. males are more protective of their property.
... my female English mastiff wouldn't let the internet guy into my bedroom with my girlfriend. She wasnt having it.
...my female Corso is the same, they're similar in behavior, sweetheart dogs.. unless they don't like the situation.
I dont recommend a Corso though.. unless you know what you're doing.
I had a male english mastiff named zeus for 11 years. Best dog ever!!
My English Mastiff seems kind of dopey. He learns slower then dogs I've had in the past but I've never had to tell my EM no twice.
Owner is dopey
Omg, they are such goofballs. Not the smartest dogs, but that’s what makes them so amazing. My boy is literally the equivalent to a toddler.
He/She is faking it.
@@tonihackney4915 huh
You can definitely see their gears turning. We joke about ours too but they are very intelligent just process and execute super slowly.
And like you said you never have to tell one of these dogs something twice. I don't understand why anybody would need to ship one-off to be trained. It's like they're born trained.
More of these videos on all the breeds you’ve trained present and past i love them
The Romans brought them back to Italy, bred their size down a bit, taught them Italian, and called them Cane Corsos 😂
The English is far superior to an Italian mastiff
😂
First mastiff I ever encountered was on a working farm B&B in Wales. Small place with only three rooms to rent, and when I was shown to my room, the owner warned me to use the deadbolt on the door as this was normally the dog’s room. He wasn’t kidding - the dog opened the door about an hour after I turned in and joined me in bed. Me, at 6’2” tall and about 220 pounds, shared a twin bed with a 280 pound dog.
Dog got up much earlier than I did the next morning, and that is when I learned about the sheer fear that a dog could instill. I went into the dining room, and the owner was busy at the large hearth at the far end of the room. I didn’t see the mastiff, and barely even heard the growl, but I could definitely FEEL that low rumble coming out from under the kitchen table.
I’m very thankful that I never had to learn the business end of that growl…
My DREAM DOG!!! I looooove mastiffs.
I would never pay thousands of dollars for any dog but was fortunate enough to get an EM because she was killing chickens (for the fun of it) in her previous home. We don’t have chickens, so the owner gave her to us. And, yes, these dogs live up to the hype, especially as the perfect family dog and resplendent couch potato.
These dogs, when active, are great at pivoting on their back legs and jerking their big ol’ heads from here to there in a snap, though it’s hard to believe unless you see it - ask a chicken.
And they’re not likely to bite any person, even in a confrontation. They’ll allow the problem to come to them, knock the problem down, and stand over the problem, possibly with a paw on the problem’s chest. These are NOT aggressive or angry dogs.
Finally, understand the cost of owning a giant breed (and it really bothers me that this wasn’t discussed). After spending mega bucks to buy a puppy, you will spend a minimum of $300/month for food and preventive meds.
We love our precious mastiff, but we’ll never have another one. It’s too expensive. But we are blessed to have Blossom in our lives.
I love the name Blossom! I wish you could post a photo :) We had a Saint and yes , like you say they are very very expensive to own. If they have to go to the vet its 4 times the cost of any other dog it seems and they eat more than a grown man.
Way to go Moose and Rick!! We have a 2.5 yr old rescue English Mastiff and he is definitely more work than our Labs have been... but he's very loyal and protective of our family when needed. Lot's of continual work that I've put in and will continue. I wish you guys had a class in OK so I could get some 1 on 1 training (mostly for me) :) We keep towels all over the house and in our cars for rides... drool is off the charts. Another great video!
I’ve got a 4 year old, runt of the litter. 160 pounds and 33” at the shoulder. The most loving animal I’ve ever been around I’m 54. The big oaf literally sleeps on me. I wake up face to face with him or with him breathing on my neck. They are anything but slow and cumbersome. They may seem that way but their reaction speed can me astonishing. Very powerful too. Mine unfortunately triggers off other animals and I haven’t been able to break that. Other than that he’s amazing. Great breed. I’ll get another some day.
When I was little Our neighbors had an english mastiff named Josie and they had a Great Dane named max but Josie was who I hung around the most I remember how huge she was but what I also remember was how extremely gentle she was around me my sisters and my neighbors children even the neighborhood cats were comfortable around her Max was a sweet dog just a live wire full of energy but Josie was always the tender soul never jumping never once growled in aggression. She died at the right age of 11 rest well sweet soul Josie
Brother, I am so happy you made this video. I have a four dog team and I just lost my team leader last week. He was a Rottweiler. Now my English Mastiff is the oldest and they will automatically see him as Alpha. I was so worried my whole team was going to suffer based on everybody saying how lazy and stubborn English Mastiffs are. Thank you for making this video Bro. My outlook just improved greatly.
I’m sorry for your loss. You shouldn’t need a video to reassure you though. You know your EM better than anyone else, & I’m sure he’s taking up the leadership role beautifully
@@isitoveryet9525 He was 8 months old when I wrote that comment.
Wish I could afford a mastiff of any kind. Love them all! I love great danes too. The bigger the dog the better.
Follow all the Facebook pages you can for adoption and rescue . I just scored my new family member 17month old EM because a family stricken by cancer couldn’t care for him like he deserved . We also couldn’t afford the 3k puppy fee and we are elated 🎉🎉
@@sophdamom SAME! I just got one for free and potty trained. He claims only me and my children though. He is a Love bug snuggle buddy ❤❤❤Everyone else thumbs down 👎🏾 - we have to protect others from him 😅
I am absolutely hooked on the English Mastiff. I've owned several different breeds, but no other breed can offer what an EM can. My girl is BY FAR, the most loving dog I've ever been around. She is absolutely superb at giving juicy smooches!😂
Spot on ❤
If anyone thinks he’s exaggerating about drool on the ceiling, he’s not if you’re not on top of that drool it will 100% be on ceiling lol
Oh the drool, you can find it in the even most extraordinary places.
My last Mastiff died in 2022 and I still can’t clean the walls (or ceiling!)
My bloodhounds are worse. Way worse.
As far as cats they adored her. Even ones didnt like dogs.
Mine was not any more protective than any other dog I have owned.
Have the English mastiff in the red zone, Boerboel at the 30 yard line & the Belgian mal, dutch or German shepherd out at the 50+ yard line of defense 👑💪
What about a Kangal on the sideline incase something gets through? Lol
My man !
Thank you so much this is exactly what I was looking for you totally sold me for a homestead protection dog and family member so grateful.
Lots and lots of towels for the drool. Our 8yr old mastiff drools and leaves slingers on the walls but we wouldn’t have it any other way.💕
I watched this cause I miss my old one. ‘Little’ Gus he was such a sweet boy
As a new English Mastiff owner (6 yo rescue) this was incredibly helpful. My past doggos all had a fair splash of the staffy, and this big boy has proved a bit of a mystery to unlock. Patience and time is key, we love our boy gleaming globs of drool and all.
Thank you for posting. For me, this is the best ever video on the Mastiff. Over a 23 year period I’ve had 4 Mastiffs RIP. Two earned AKC Obedience CD and Rally RN titles. Three were certified Therapy dogs. Tried my hand at agility and tracking, alas didn’t work out! Your section on the need and how to train was spot on. There’s nothing greater than to see a giant dog under control. Being owned by my girls is the highlight of my life! ❤
One of these and a little terrier or Maltese or Chihuahua whatever is the best watch/guard combo.
Little dog keeps watch so big boy can stay laying down unless he really needs to get up
have owned english mastiffs for over 20 years now. We have 4 currently , we kept the largest pup from the litter we had. Max is 15 months old now and eats as much as the other 3 combined and he is way bigger then mom and dad, will he ever stop growing.
My boy Jelly an English Mastiff is my heartthrob... Only drawback he is extremely watchful whenever any children comes in.. He never allows any children to play around or to create any mess
Wow how does he stop them?
i hope you do more English mastiff videos, very well put together and easy to understand. Thank you
Moose is gorgeous! What a handsome, terrific pooch! My hat’s off to the owner and you! ❤
We used to have an English mastiff and she was a very sweet protective dog. We had to re home her and my dad's friend wanted her but they wanted to see how she would be with his Jack Russell terrier. He bit half of her right ear of and we knew that she wasn't going to fit there. She ended up going to a family that lived on a big property with a farm and the kids loved her. She was an amazing dog and was basically a second mom to us and them.
I love how positive you are about the breed. I am on my first English mastiff (not my first guardian ) He is just shy of 2 1/2 years and still growing at 170. He is a wonderful dog. I live in both the city and the country so he gets a nice mix of both.
I find that he is a very smart dog (exceptionally sensitive - so absolutely zero yelling unless it’s an emergency ) who trains very nicely. He did forget a lot of it, conveniently during adolescence, but as he grows older it’s all coming back.
I do wish that you had one on one sessions near me because my only issue with him is that he does charge people on our country property. He has never had an aggressive bone in his body.
he will run straight at a car coming up our drive, barking like a madman, and it is absolutely terrifying for people . All he does is kiss them very enthusiastically when they get out of the car (or into the house ) which is also a problem because he doesn’t understand how big he is and both small children and elderly people are squish-able , but he has yet to meet a living thing he doesn’t love. he has 0 pre-drive as we have a number of other animals as well, so I’m a bit confused by this behaviour.
I will look up your online training program and see if I can find one that applies to us .
I have a hybrid mix neo mastiff ,cane,rotti, mastiff.. love this dog
I have a Neo / corso mix and I just love her.
I also have a mastiff mix. He's presa canario, English mastiff, neapolitan, and cane corso.
@Philip That is a cool ass mixture you have. I have always wanted a Bullmastiff
You have a mutt and that’s ok 😅
Great video and information. We are on our third and number four is on the way we will always have a Mastiff in our house. Like you mentioned training is important at 4 months you will have a 60-70lb dog and at 6 months you have 100lb puppy. Only other point I would of made and it is not Mastiff specific but any large or giant breed is the expense it is like paying for 3-4 dogs all rolled into one my vet loves me when it is heart guard and flea and tick medicine time.
I love this guys videos. Super informative and non biased, just presenting the facts.
Shoe strings hanging out of their mouths! Slob on the TV, car windows, but my favorite breed!!
❤ is ❤ brotha 😂
So happy to find your channel. My big boy Oryon will be 2 y.o. on April 20, 2023 and is 135lbs. and solid as a rock. Cheers mate. I'm so encouraged to step up my interactions with my English Mastiff.
Our loving, beautiful EM Beauregarde AKC (GC grandparents) was amazing. In his prime, he was 34" at the shoulder 265 lbs of pure muscle. I'm a 5'3"130 woman married to a retired professional firefighter whose job necessitated. minimal 24 hour+ shifts away from home. Big Beau wlould sleep beside me on the 2nd floor bedroom. Any click of the downstairs doors, windows, etc.and Beau would be down the stairs like a shot! He was stubborn but responded incredibly well to both verbal commands and physical signals.
Btw..he also happily lived alongside my Dwarf Holland Lop rabbit. ❤
Knew a mastiff that would do his best to watch the neighbor’s grandkids, he was pushing 9 years and could only keep up with the crawlers. Even then he didn’t really have the endurance anymore.
Stunning ending shot with both doggos escorting you down the road. Wow! I have a 170 lb Mastador and picked up some great information from your video. Mine does overheat quickly so I was happy to hear you mention that. Thank you very much, loved this video!
Fantastic vid.would love to see that spur of the moment guarding/defense you mentioned. I think that is a real test of guard skill,over bite work
❤ I cannot handle the cuteness of these sweet babies. It’s too much. ❤😊
Never understood why people tied bandanas around big dogs' necks like mastiffs, Bernards, etc but drool would make perfect sense! Great idea. Like an old man's hankie haha
❤
yep! Wish Id thought of this with our Saint Bernard, would have been so handy
I love this breed, my first and only dog was a true bullmastiff, back then I can not find and affort one english mastiff. Hope on day I get one because, after you get one mastiff you dont want another breed.
Fantastic video! Thank you. My dog is an English Mastiff and boxer mix, but his personality is all mastiff. Best dog I’ve ever had and I would love to have a full English Mastiff someday
So laid back! Love Mr. Moose Tracks
Best part of this video “he’s not even drooling rn” big old blob falls out on cue 😂
Utterly fearless. They will not back down.
900 psi in a dog bite is absolutely insane.
Gotta be top 2 or 3
When I was a kid my mom’s friend had one he was a beautiful gentle giant who love the kids
Just got my second one this weekend . I have a six year old adult male also. Both silver fawn
my pups 11 months, hes been nothing but amazing and such a good dog. i didnt know anyone who had or has a mastiff, i started a new job last week and my boss has a big mastiff so that was something we could talk about haha
Listen you Gary you de best and I love the approach zero smoke only meat with dogs, owners, viewers and as we lately got to know, haters….!! Thank you so much
My cousin has 2 of these dogs, and they are super obedient. When he sends them in their kennel, they go in and sit in there with the door open and they don't come out.
Thanks for the info! Currently looking for a breed of dog that will fit best into my family, and a mastiff is definitely on it!
Thank you, I have my Cane Corso for my service dog at the moment . But am definitely looking to my next be an English mastiff. Plus we live on a 5 acre homestead.. Perfect fix
Wow I really Adore this kind of videos ! We learn a lot from you Garett ! Thank you so ever much
Love from Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you so much for this video. You've answered so many of my questions, and I didn't even have to ask!
I had one for 11 years a beautiful sweet dog great with children actually everyone. I never considered her a slow learner.
I have ab English Mastiff he's a brindle name Baby Huey - he's sooooo smart and was very easy to train - Loves to stay home and sleep - But as he stated when it's time to protect he turns into a beast - but he loves to be love and shows lots of love
Thank you for making this video. Excellent and acurate information about the breed. I have had English Mastiffs since 1997 ( 15 individuals) and some of them have had a lot of prey drive. But all and all human friendly, laid back and steady temperaments.
My English Mastiff/Great Pyrenees mix has a ferocious bark! But a big drooling softie. So far she has only protected me against squirrels 😊
Thank you for pointing out that this breed do not belong in stairs. All too few ppl recognice that it is essential to keep them off the stairs until they are fully grown.
Have you ever worked with the giant schnauzer? I'd love to see a long-form video like this about that breed!
My second female mastiff is now 1 yr and she is beautiful and sweet ... she goes to 2 different dog sitters when I'm at work and they both lover her and she is great with their pets including a cat as well as other dogs the dog sitters are watching .... both my females love the water 😍 have a hard time keeping her out of the lake at my sister's place 😂.... my first female , Lucy, only lived until she was 8 but she would have given her life to protect me without question and my current female, Tequila , only a yr now , not sure if she would protect me , but her size should be enough of a deterrent 😎
We had a BIG beautiful female Mastiff, she was a BIG baby, what a sweetheart.... I loved "Tasha"...
i rolled the dice got an english mastiff/cane corso and great pyrenees mix best decision i ever made i knew a little about mastiffs and corso’s going into it but not nearly as much as i do now
Mastiffs one of the greatest bloodlines u can get ive had pryneese also he non stop walked the premise and non stop guarding he was fantastic cant wait to get another
Great video, love the new graphics
Don’t forget to tell people about all the stuff they chew up when teething. Had my first mastiff chewed up over $2000 worth of exercise equipment.
Because you didnt put enough time in your dogs nor train them or give them enough stimulation
Currently have 2 Mastiffs. Never had a problem with chewing
@@rustyrnds probably right. I work on boats and was gone most of the time, but that dog turned out to be the best dog I ever had, after his puppy years. When he died from cancer, we got another. Kids are older now so they’re spending time training my new dog, which just turned a year old, and he hasn’t chewed up anything, other then his toys.
@@michaelrobinson6670 any kind of dog will get bored, easily especially mastiffs if they’re not doing what they’re bred for. Or any stimulation etc etc etc etc. ive had a Pyrenees he was one of the best dogs ive had he was very good off leash he was very well obedient. With me not his past owners. He would run through walmart parking lots with me and he would drop when i gave him his command .
My English mastiff probably went through 50 of the “indestructible” Kong toys in his life.
My English mastiff Walter is my best dog ever! He will protect his family and be friends with everyone in public places. Smart dog a mind reader so be careful what you think.
Hey! How is Walter when it comes to guarding you/family and the home? Would he act if necessary?
I currectly have a Doberman 3 years old, but my next dog will definitely be an English Mastiff. Amazing dogs.
Please do St. Bernard and Border Collie too! I love these videos and their format!
I like your videos you are knowledgeable about all dogs amazing to see someone take so much interest in K9 world
Had a bull mastiff, i know not the same. She was super smart but stubborn as all hell. I loved my Layla, gone too soon at 7 years.
We've got an English Mastiff x Rotti - he got full on crazy rotti genes but he is amazing with kids and other dogs - does not like strangers at all. He thinks he's still a puppy and doesn't know his own size are his only faults really and he needs to learn manners when we allow people in the house. He is the biggest magnet/velcro dog ever. He still gets cooked in about 5 -10 minutes which is great because my border x aussie and blue heeler x boston terrier don't wear out at all.... oh and the DROOL.... it's everywhere.... everywhere! We love them all
What an amazing dog. Love it
Absolutely love this channel and this guy
Perfect video! Thank you for making it from those of us who have one for those who don't!
I don’t know if I could handle a dog with this much energy 😂
Thanks so much for posting this!
I am looking to pickup either an English Mastiff or a St. Bernard as a mobility service dog for my father, both of us are experienced dog trainers, but I was getting scolded by some extended family for narrowing it down to those options because "those are not service breeds and you will fail because they are dumb." I am glad to see that one is a successful service animal.
So cool to see an EM win so many titles in obedience. That completely changed my view on the breed.
Please do a video on the English Labrador Retriever
I love my mastiff she’s the best !! Nala ! 😍
Great video! Can you do this on Rottweilers?
Aww I do love them there so sweet I just wish they lived longer lives though idc about the super drool there well worth it
Do you think an English mastiff could be trained to be a support/service dog for a child with Autism?
Doing my research rn!👍 moving out of my moms house, its just my mom and my 2 year old sister, im 21 and leaving for my career and taking my big malinois with me ( a lot of energy and my mom has a two year old) and i dont feel comfortable leaving them alone with no dog in this area with break ins so im looking for a lazy dog to keep them safe. Wish me luck :)
Would love a video like this but for the bullmastiff! Love the content as always 🍻
There's one on Dogamentary.
@@lsb9881 seen it already
@@xPandaZ4just want the same info parroted back at you from all different content creators lol Most of them say the exact same things
I'd love to hear his take on the bullmastiff, too. I've asked in the comments loads of times
@@isitoveryet9525 not exactly the same information. Everyone has different training experiences with different breeds, and it's interesting to hear about those experiences. Documentary TV for example makes great videos regarding many dog breeds but Zeke hasn't trained many of them himself. Which is why he interviews others. Every trainer has different methods where certain breeds react differently to those methods. As someone who is passionate about dogs, and specifically the bullmastiff, I want to gain as much information as possible, from sources that are worthwhile. This source is a worthwhile one and I'd like to learn more from it.
I recently lost my dog and i have really been trying to do some research about the possible next breed. I'm torn between an English mastiff, a boxer, or a st Bernard
I think most boxers are completely mental ( in a good but super high energy way) and huge goof balls. I had a saint and he was just a darling, he always wanted to stay at home, was so well mannered, so good with children and everyone really. Down side of owing a saint is little dogs attack them and most dogs lose their minds at first sight because their size so not many opportunities for play dates or playing at the dog park. You have to be very careful for 2 years and never let them jump out the car or off the couch etc. They are very clumsy as pups so even going down stair can be fraught with dangers as so easy to break a leg or ruin their joints.The drool and hair is next level and going to the vet 4 times more expensive. They also eat a huge amount of food despite being low energy so only get one of these dogs if you have the money behind you. Alot of this stuff would also apply to an EM.
@@lisagfrerer9429 wow i didn't know they could get hurt so easily. Poor babies. That's good information to know though thank you. 😊
@@ashleynewsom8949 your welcome :)
I had boxers and have to tell you that they are the best family dog ever! You need to understand that boxers are prone to cancers. I love boxers, they are clowns, everything is fun. Pretty easy to train and good with kids.They are protective and sometimes pick one person in the family that is theirs. They love the whole family but they have a favorite. Theymaremathletic dogs and need lots of exercise but also like to sit on the couch and chill.
Boxer was the most amazing dog I ever owned, energetic yes, loving, fun, could read your mood, fantastic with children. But energetic lol
