Hello guys,

I just wanted to say hey. As you can see, I am new here. My wife and I just adopted our new English Mastiff puppy. His name is Meeko. I will put up some pictures when I get them on this computer. Anyway...He will be 16 weeks on Thursday and weighs about 47 pounds. I thought this was big until I checked out the growth charts on this site. He seems to be about 10 pounds less than some of the Mastiffs on the growth charts. I hope he is ok. He looks good though. He has a visible waist and you can barely feel his ribs. I suppose each dog grows at different rates. My vet actually told me that growing slow is his preference. Anyway, I will keep you guys posted with pics and probably ask a lot of questions.

Jason
Your vet is correct. Mastiffs have the genetic stamp to grow to be a certain height/weight. It's our job to grow them as slow as possible Smile Can't wait to see pictures!
