Burkes Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Good on you Ams, a great choice of breed too. A Mastiff is also on my bucket list to own one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 A Mastiff is also on my bucket list to own one day. Me too! I am insanely jealous I had the opportunity to take on a lovely boy years ago but the timing wasn't right - house with lots of stairs and a baby. The timing still isn't right for me but 'one day'. For now I'll suffice with photos of your new boy *hint*. As for lightening your foster load, I wouldn't worry about that! Priorities change. I stopped altogether when I had a baby and now will only take very specific dogs due to the Maremmas. You do what is best for you and everything else will fall in to place.

Aphra Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 All my big dogs are dead now (it's not been a good couple of years for my giant babies) but for a while I had two Neapolitan Mastiffs and a Mastiff and did rescue. My Mastiff was great with other dogs and was excellent at teaching good manners. My Neos, not so much, but we managed. LOL I miss my big dogs so much, so if you have the opportunity to have a Mastiff in your life, I say go for it. No-one can manage to rescue well if they are sad, resentful and bitter because they deny themselves all the time. Dealing with rescue dogs you need a kind of generosity and joyfulness to deal with the dogs, and that doesn't come from grudging yourself happiness. I'd have another Neo in a heartbeat if I could afford one, the kind of relationship you have with the really big guys is special and something you should have in your life. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ams Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Thanks everyone. I will share pics. Incoming baby is a girl. She will be called Amnesty. (cause it kinda rhymes with her current name and fits in with my "A" theme for my dogs). Hopefully by mid September she will be here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
