Do any of you own English Mastiffs? I'm thinking about getting an English bulldog, and I'm here doing research.
I wonder how well these two breeds would get along? One breeder told me she wouldn't sell me a bulldog, because I have mastiffs. I don't really get that. I would think that they'd get along very well as they've been together
throughout history and have similar personalities and traits. Both breeds are also intolerant of heat, are prone to be lazy, stubborn, and they drool and snore, have an intolerance to anesthia, and have potentially big medical bills. LOL!
My baby girl, Rose, 4-years old and 240 pounds, was born crippled, and both legs have had major surgery. We've spent thousands on her medical bills, but they tell me she will nevertheless have elbow dyplasia. She has been otherwise healthy though and has done so much better than the doctors ever expected. She rarely limps at all.
We also have Belle, 3 years old and 200 pounds. Thankfully, she has had no major problems so far.
Our dogs are like children to us. So I want to make sure this is the right decision before I bring a puppy home.
I love the English Bulldog's wrinkles. The wrinkles are one of the things that endears the English Mastiff to me...oh, and the expressive face.
Thanks,
Bobbi
