My sister holding a six-week-old female mastiff puppy.
My sister and her boyfriend went up between Pittsburgh and Youngstown yesterday evening to pick out a mastiff puppy.
She’s six weeks old and is still too young to leave her mother.
He’s chosen the name Zhara for the puppy.
At six weeks old, it looks like she’s already larger than Willie.
And she might mature somewhere in the 180 pound range, which is more than twice the size of Miley.
“”As a lion is to a cat, so is a mastiff compared to a dog,” goes an eighteenth century English saying.
And I think they’ve been bred in the current form, which differs quite a bit from the dogs that were historically called mastiffs in England, to look more like the English lion than they did originally.
There is a lot of St. Bernard and bullmastiff in this breed, which is why she looks so fuzzy and sable now. She will mature as an apricot mastiff.
