I currently have two English Mastiffs. They snore so loud I can hear them on the third floor when I'm in the basement! Don't let anyone tell you different. They drool and they are prone to passing gas. That part can be controled by proper diet and Brewers Yeast. You'll have to order that on line because you'll find most pet stores even the big chains rarely carry anything for XX large dogs. With all that being said, you will never have a more loyal companion. English Mastiffs are known as gentle giants for a reason. My 2 year old grandchildren climb on them, hide stuff in their jawls while they're sleeping, ride them like horses when they are laying down. they even love our cats, they cuddle together. They are eager to please. They do not make good outside dogs for guarding because they bond so strongly to their humans that they have to shadow you when your together. They actually can die of a lonely heart if they don't have enough love and attention. They are lazy if you let them, but love to be active when given the oppertunity. Yes they eat alot, but really not as much as you might think. Also everything is more expensive due to their size. Shots, heart worm meds, flea/tick control, meds when sick. Dosages are larger then average. I know that's alot to take in, but please do your homework before you commit. If an English Mastifff is the right fit for you, you won't be disapointed.
I can't begin to imagine my life without Bubba & Matilda.
Yes. Get some sleep!
