Unfortunately, it appears he was the product of a puppymill. He has a microchip, but we cannot locate the breeder, nor will the microchip distributor give out the name of the breeder, but they have searched and cannot find them - most likely better for him in the long run. He was "rescued" at age 1 year from a dog hoarder and was the only mastiff amongst 48 or so dogs somewhere in Washington. The family that took him in has had him for the last 2 years. They gave him up: (1) single mother with five young children (who he was raised with and good with); (2) he likes to play with their painfully dysplastic female mastiff, also a rescue, and she gets grouchy about playing; (3) he whines when he wants to come inside....sigh. When I picked him up he was very skinny; backbone and ribs showing, but she said she fed him. hmmm! Thankfully, he is heart worm negative. He was neutered a bit over a week ago, is current on all his vaccinations, gets along with my Chis and Ophelia. O is very playful. Today 8/26/08 he played wonderfully with boy my neutered labradors, Dreamer and Ophelia with no issues at all. I am very impressed and encouraged by this as he was a bit standoffish with the boys at first. He is getting for comfortable and finding his happy place. Kevin and I have spent one-on-one time with him, and he is a love, not overly pushy but so gentle and calm. What a very sweet boy! He loves both men and woman and does not show shyness or a preference. He does have longer hair than any of my mastiffs. He has a hot spot on the back of his upper thigh/tail area that is healing well and the hair is growing back. Here are some pictures. If you are interested, please give me a call. This boy deserves a placement that will once and for all treat him the way he should be treated - a house dog, when outside, no cages, free to run in a open but well fenced yard. ************************************************************************************* Friends of Rescued Mastiffs Redwood Empire Mastiff Club Rescue Mastiff Club of America Rescue Great Lakes Mastiff Rescue Southern States Mastiff Rescue Mastiff Message Board Adoption Announcements Pacific Northwest Mastiff Fanciers |
