It has been a while since I had proby in to check his weight, with have more then 1 Mastiff it is hard to get them to do that same thing at the same time, but I did get Proby weighed and he is growing nicely: here are a few new pictures of him as well......more photos toward the bottom I couldnt get them in up here for some reason.......



Here are a couple of updated photos of Proby, he is 7 weeks old

Just added a picture at 10 weeks - 03-16-09

You're really making me want a puppy

What breeder are you getting him from?

[lswinton]

the website is dreamacersenglishmastiffs.com her name is Melody and she lives in Kentucky............she does have two more accidental litters that are going to be born in March. She was offereing a great price on her brindles because she was afraid she was not going to be able to sell them all. All the pups from Proby's litter are sold but she has two more litters coming with in the next couple of weeks, check her website out and let me know what you think. Tank I got from Sundance Mastiffs in Kansas, check out her website and check out Tanks dad Titon he is awsome. I am not sure that they have any litters coming due though but she has some beutiful Mastiffs. Her female Ripley is a certified therapy dog..............

Hi Lisa--

Proby sure is a cutie, I think we have his sister here in Louisville KY. Her name is Luna and she is 13 weeks old as of yesterday and weighs 33.8 pounds and growing strong. Just thought it was a coincidence that we found each other and wanted to post a picture of Proby's liter mate.

This picture was taken a few weeks ago and is one of my favorites:


We love Luna so much that we got the Apricot Mastiff that Melody had available, she will be ready in Mid March. We are so excited!

Hope to keep in touch!

--Meg

Just realized you said he was 7 weeks old, Luna is from the litter before Proby's, oh well, still a coincidence...

[lswinton]

she sure is a cutie! Yes Proby will be 8 weeks tomorrow, he is almost 16 lbs he is going to be huge!

I have another Mastiff, Tank, he is also listed on i-tails and he is an apricot and beutiful. Tank is 14 months old and so awsome I had to get him a brother.

Luna and Proby may not be from the same litter but they sure are from the same home, that is neat, I will keep in touch and you do the same thanks, Lisa

Well I got Proby in last night and he sure is cute. It is so hard to remember that they really are small at one time. Boy is Tank not sure what to do with him, he is scared of Proby and I am not sure why?

[mydog8it]

Congrats! I do love the tiny little puppy feet, relatively speaking

Sometimes puppies can be a little scary for older pups/adults because they play differently and don't know the rules yet. They tend to be mouthy and nip at faces, pull on tails, things like that. Just make sure you are supervising them when they are together so you can make sure both dog and puppy are being respectful. If Proby is playing too rough or not giving Tank enough space, redirect him with toys so Tank can relax around him and vice versa. He should warm up in a few days once he realizes the puppy won't actually eat him and just wants to play.

You can also help set a playful tone for Tank by joining in with a play bow. Get on your knees on the floor and bend/bow in a little pouncing motion with your hands stretched out in front of you, tapping your hands on the floor. This is dog language for "lets play!" Your puppy will recognize it, too. This might help Tank realize that playing with the puppy is a fun game, not something scary.

Proby is 8 weeks old and weighs 18 lbs................

Awe! They are sooo cute! I love the last one with Tank leaning way over away from the puppy. Adorable. Proby's paws are huge.

That's nice that you can take off work - it makes it so much easier and faster to train them when you can be there all day.

[lswinton]

Yes Proby is growning quickly, he is 9 weeks old and weighs 21.5 lbs, he is going to be BIG..........Tank is doing well with him. I was lucky to be able to take some time off and it really does help getting Proby used to his new life................

[mydog8it]

I'm glad they're doing well together. He is such a cutie!

[lswinton]

here are a few new pictures of Proby, 01-27-10

[mydog8it]

Oh my gosh! He's all grown up. Is that a yorkie in the background? How cute they must be together.

[lswinton]

Yes he is all grown up, how fast it goes! Yes that is a Yorkie in the back ground he is 10 years old and he runs both Proby and Tank, he does not realize he is a small dog but he has the other two convinced he is "Alpha"

[Moon and Sun In KY]

Updated Luna photos... with Sol. Luna is the brindle and Sol is the apricot. They are both happy in Louisville, KY. Luna is 15 months and weighs around 130 lbs. Sol is 13 months old and weighs around 105 lbs.

[Ookla's Mom]

Wow, they're beautiful! So attentive... Made me smile.

Where did you get your brindle from? He looks JUST like a male I saw today, just outside of Columbia, SC! I will see if I can find his picture and post is, it's crazy how much they look a like, I would swear it's the same male, LOL!


***I found the picture but it's not a good one of his face, the face of the two looks identical!
