I got a puppy for Christmas.

This is Enzo , hes 6 yrs old, weighs 178 lbs…mostly Cane Corso with a little English Mastiff mixed… He’s a super smart dog but a complete and total asshole… Don’t ask what your Mastiff can do you for but Ask what you can do for your Mastiff

In terms of size and growth at 6 months he was 98 lbs… had razor sharp teeth and no concept of his size and power

“So he’s 55lbs and 17.5 weeks old…exactly one month ago he weighed 34 lb”
"115lbs at 7 months "

had a hard time finding a muzzle as his head is so big, 29" give or take … even harder time keeping a muzzle on him as he can move his face skin so much, he kind of slips out of everything, and its hard to tighten anything on him as the skin gets in the way.

Dog agression 2/10
prey drive 0/10
Agressiveness 10/10
viciousness 3/10
guarding instinct 10/10
farting capacity…infinite

fist pic is him at
7months

Lola is small for a Great Dane, but by no means is she a small dog. Sometimes the sun gets too hot on the day bed so she moves to the floor.

Someone did say buy food at Costco. If you get the regular Costco it is made by Taste of the wild. Good stuff!

Biggest thing with a big breed puppy…

Get 2 insurance plans :slight_smile:

Unlike a chihuahua they want to put them to sleep for everything if they’re uncooperative - and it’s goddamn expensive. If you’ve got 2 plans - less to stress about, and you can play off whichever one covers the needed procedure best.

With big dogs - training is really important!

Hard to believe he was some wild dog puppy my kids snatched from his mom.

thank you !

He’s not a good dog by any means LOL ! He’s our baby but due to his high intelligence and lower energy levels he’s a real handful to deal with…You can’t really tire him out and he needs constant stimulation… After owning this guy I will definitely rethink owning anything close to him again…He’s the real deal working dog with a non stop need for mental stimulation, physical stimulation isn’t really his thing…my last dog was a French Masiff who was much easier to deal with …his favorite thing was chasing my 1/8th RC Car

We are hoping he turns into a bonifide working dog. Lots of land, and animals to watch over and protect. He is all energy, and spends hours outside frollicking around. Biggest issue, he has no idea of his size or power…lol

We had a Sheppard/husky mix we had to get put down 2 years ago when his hips and back gave out, he was around 120lbs, he was a great dog, very gentle but also a very protective family dog.
This past summer I was at Walmart and seen the biggest dog I’ve ever seen in person, I wish I had thought to get a pic but unfortunately I didn’t, it was called a Irish wolf hound, here is a picture I found on Google as a example of how huge it was.

Thank you… He was a stud for sure… died at 7 from Liver Cancer… he was small for his breed only weighing 120 lbs, but as you can see he didn’t have a stitch of fat and was a supreme athlete. He was unique in how he dealt with other dogs who challenged him , instead of biting and fighting like other dogs he would instead ram the dog , he was so explosive he would literally send a dog flying, even dogs bigger then him would get bounced… I even think my 178lb Enzo would get put on his ass … He would never bite though, just tackle… With people though he was all threats, they were known as a dog of Dissuasion, super high intimidation levels with very high bite threshold, they would protect the vineyards, escort trespassers off the property without hurting them unless absolutely necessary… The Corso isn’t like that, he’s rather short fused and likely to bite. Though as a warning he has given someone a near knockout blow head smash with the front of his muzzle… ( The last day we ever went to a dog park ) …nearly knocked someone out cold who was trying to feed him something he didn’t like…never ever before showed anything like that…the guy asked if he could give him some home made deer sausage, I said OK…Enzo went to take it, took a sniff and got right offended someone would offer him something like this and proceeded to head butt the guy square in the face, knocked his glasses off his head and nearly put him out cold… good thing the guy was a big guy or it couldn’t have been really bad. …right then I realized how unpredictable this guy can be, socialized and trained, dog park every day for a couple of years… maybe the meat was poisoned and Enzo caught it, most likely it was a preservative, he wont eat anything with presarvatives…no deli meat, no sausages… He’s not a fast or explosive dog usually, but at that moment he was a 175 missile of fury and it was terrifying ! just a head butt is enough to likely kill someone if he hits them clean enough and they fall back .
