I have a 4yr old yorkie who is very smart, and because Harley .. my 5 month old mastiff is so jealous of him.. He try's to do everything that my yorkie has been trained to do... fetches my slippers and stuff like that... its awesome..
My mastiff was more trainable than our toy poodle, golden retriever, or our Staint Bernard. He is the smartest dog I have ever known. So far...anyway.
@812556: My 10 month old Mastiff is extremely easy to train, due to his eagerness to please. However, most tricks are beyond him (fetch, puzzles) but as far as behavioral control, there are few easier. When properly socialized, an english mastiff basically becomes a big affectionate puppy. But don't expect any random acts of brilliance. Empathy and understanding don't count, that comes pretty naturally to them.
dopted 2 mastiffs and have a foster one and they can be hard to train at times and they act like lap dogs alot. i have two full grown ones and they act like lap dogs and crawl on my lap and squish me but i love them then i have a baby the age of yours pittsburgh and shes huge
wow... i remember when my mastiff, Madison(gone now) was a puppy and she and I would play all the time... ive read some of your posts... you know quite a bit about dogs... and about tamyk007's message... english mastiff puppies, although are rowdy, as all puppies are. are known for their gentleness toward young kids and babies, as well as their loyalty to their masters...
No dog is perfect, but the English Mastiff breed is pretty close. My 1 year old will sit on our mastiffs back and yell "Yee Haw" over and over again while she just lays there.
Mastiffs can be stubborn, but they also get their feelings hurt very easily. They don't want you to be upset, frustrated, or angry with them so they'll try really hard to please. In short, I think it depends on what you're trying to train them to do.
Mastiff is bigger than Bull Mastiff. Bull mixed with mastiff would become Bull Mastiff. Several months ago, I read news a farmer's Boerboel, three of them killed a black male working in the farm. If you cannot give them space to play, dog would be very sad. In Hong Kong, a golden xxx bite her mistress, who was sent to hospital for treatment. I know dogs and horse are friend of human, but children know nothing of how to be friend with them, you know.
@8122556 my mastiff x is the most stubborn dog ive ever had. my lab was so easy to train. oh well love him all the same. but i reckon female dogs are alot easier to train then males so that could be a reason why im having trouble with him (mastiff x) and my female lab was a piece of cake
Any dog can be dangerous if it's not trained correctly. Its attitude has almost nothing to do with breed, the only differences in danger between races are size and musculature etc. As this dog seems to grow up side by side with a baby, it is highly unlikely that the dog will attack babies in the future.
Thanks for sharing that Vid..Ive been looking for a Bully pup for a few months now and have finally tracked one down.You guys answered a question Ive been seeking an answer to,,"Training" They react well to it im told but as mentioned above there Stubborn Buggers..patience I guess is the key..cheers ..
Wow,hang on.A Boerboel is not an English Mastiff,they are totally different breeds.They look similar'cos there is some Mastiff blood in there but there is a lot of other stuff aswell.
I kept a bull mastiff when I was in South Africa. His wife was pitbull, they gave birth to 8 puppies, unfortunately, one died on birth. That bull mastiff was no good, but their children were very nicely, may be, the mother's heritage. I kept a female; the father went away. I left SA 0 2001, I handed her to a farmer who went to Canada one year after, I do not know where is she now, may be dead. I feel very sad to give her to the farmer.
The South African BoerBoel is not the same thing as an English Mastiff. Clear differences, genetic differences, the breed makeup was slightly altered to receive a slightly different looking mastiff. Enlgish Mastiffs are great family pets. When socialized correctly they can be taught to be aware of their size and their strength and be gentle with people of all sizes and other pets. (Just like most dogs in general.) And yes, I do have mastiffs...and I've educated myself.

Boerboel and Mastiff are two very seperate breeds,not to be confused.One is the dog of Knights and the other is an African mixture.
