  1. What You Need to Know about the Mastiff Puppies

  2. These are large dogs. Very large dogs. While they’re not the tallest dogs on record (that particular spot belongs to the Great Danes), they are the heaviest. The heaviest dog on record anywhere in the world is an English Mastiff named Zorba, who tipped the scales at 343 pounds. The official AKC standard for the breed is 160-230 pounds for males and 120-170 pounds for females. For comparison, the average man weighs just under 200 pounds, making the Mastiff larger than most of the people that own them.

  3. They need extra care when they’re young because they grow so much so fast. The fact that they grow to be so large is something any potential Mastiff owner must keep in mind when they are first attracted to that cute little puppy. By the time that adorable little pup is six months old, he will likely already weigh between 75-95 pounds – and that’s still only half grown. They are finally fully grown at 18 months old but don’t typically mentally mature until they’re three years, meaning you can have a 200-pound puppy on your hands for a while.

  4. Mastiffs do surprisingly well in apartments. Despite its exceptional size, this breed can actually fare well living in an apartment. They don’t bark very much and are naturally very clean. They love to lounge and rest. Their bad habits are drooling and digging, both of which are easily handled in an apartment. However, you will need to make sure that you can deal with a dog that size in your apartment. If you haven’t adequately trained your dog to know where he belongs and where he doesn’t, you run the risk of the dog taking over the smaller space.

  5. They get along well with kids and other animals Originally Mastiffs were fighting and hunting dogs, but today their temperament is much calmer and gentler, and it makes them a good companion for small kids and other animals in your house. Owners should also teach children not to annoy the dog or play too rambunctiously with him as this breed doesn’t like to be handled roughly, and train the dog to have a safe place away from the children. These dogs can treat cats as either prey or best friends, and early socialization with other animals is vital again in making that determination. The breed is generally good with strangers, and not typically aggressive.

  6. You’ll need to watch out for drool. Most Mastiffs are big droolers. Excessive droolers. You will want to keep a towel or rag handy to wipe off their mouths regularly or you might find pools of it around your house. Interestingly, they won’t drink from a water bowl that has their own drool in it, so you’ll have to make sure that they constantly have clean water to drink. There are some Mastiffs that are bred to be non-droolers. That’s something that you would have to seek out with specific breeders if it’s an option you want to explore.

  7. They are easy to care for on a regular basis. This breed is one of the easiest to care for in terms of grooming. Their coat is short, and while it does shed heavily during spring and fall, it’s easily kept under control with brushing daily during those times. While you brush the dog, you’ll want to check the wrinkles in their faces to make sure that they’re clean.

  8. They only need a moderate amount of exercise. This breed can get by on about a mile walk once a day. They don’t need tons of exercise and can get overheated, so you have to be careful not to take them too far. They’re also likely to plop down right where they are and refuse to move when they get tired. So the rule with this dog is not to take them farther than you can carry them – and that’s not very far at all with this huge breed!

  9. Famous people love Mastiffs too. Over the years, many celebrities have owned the breed. Those people include Bob Dylan, movie director Michael Bay, Marlon Brando, Oprah’s BFF Gayle King, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, and Bon Jovi. If you decide to own a Mastiff, you’ll be in great company!

  10. It’s imperative to train your Mastiff It’s cute and non-intrusive when you let a puppy sleep on your bed, but sharing your bed with a Mastiff is like sharing it with another person. Are you prepared for that? It’s cute when a puppy jumps to put his front paws on you to welcome you home, but having a huge dog do that can cause serious injury. Training early and diligently is key to having a dog with no behavior issues later on.
