Hi everyone we are new mastiff owners and absolutely love our ASHEY she is a 80 lb 7 month old brindle english mastiff. A couple of questions here if we can get some help first of all she is really head strong and pulls when we take her for walks, we dont want to use a choke chain of any sort with her. and secondly she has a film over her eyes that seems to be a blueish color, we have an appointment for her to see the doc on this, other owners say this goes away after about 7-9 months has anyone ever heard of this? thanks for the input on this pics to follow on our big girl.

can hardly wait to see her....have you taken her to any classes, that's the first thing they teach is how to walk on a leash...with a firm "jerk" her and command heel... schools I've been to advocate a choke collar especially is the dog requires corrective training. Good luck with the eye appointment, will keep my fingers crossed for Ashley and you!
