Mastiff pups have been following Pa Rob while he was doing chores. I made it to my chair out back and they immediately decided surrounding Nana was more pertinent. Even at a young age the breed has a gentle intuitive desire to care for their humans. Located in Glasgow Kentucky. Private message only.
Farm protection is serious business except when we are taking a break! How many times did I tell my kids to take their shenanigans outside and play? Same rules apply to our doggies. They both have impeccable house manners thank goodness! Love watching them romp and love each other before their puppies join them after nap time. One of the interview questions we ask perspective parents is if you have a secure outdoor activity area where pups can play and exercise…..
The misty weather yesterday made for cooler temperatures that we all enjoyed.
Luna and Oberon’s pups are soon ready for new 🏠. 11 babies and Mom’s still her happy, playful self!
Luna reminds me of my Granny- she was one of those people who woke up humming and happy, busy in the kitchen making everyone else’s day start off right. ( I was never a morning person) Oberon let’s out that familiar sigh of ‘let me sit here 5 more minutes’ , then he leaves his ear rubs behind and is off to help with kiddos.
Perhaps I should have spent some time focusing on individual pictures/ footage of the babes but I am always interested in the parents of a perspective pup so I’m starting here.
Ask about Mom and Dad! I love to talk you about them. Yes, Oberon of Glasgow is a registered purebred English mastiff, however he is ALSO a WORKING dog. Raised alongside our Livestock guardians he has learned to actually guard! He completely amazed us this year when he come to husbands rescue. Robert Lobb had always proclaimed him a teddy bear till the day he saved him from 1100 pounds of charging hoof and horns. Shocked us all! He usually let’s the girls take the lead and make these decisions - Anyway he is strong, athletic, protective
and
a big baby! He snores, groans, loves to cuddle and will leave a bit of drool on you. 😝
Yes we health test!
Luna is forever happy! 1/2 English mastiff and 1/2 Pyrenees. Loves all the animals on the farm and loves her job watching over them. She’s got a mischievous side- being super smart gets her in trouble now and again. Opening gates and I find her and her critters at the back door 🚪 begging treats and cuddles. She’s a thinker. Puzzles are her specialty.
Instincts, drive, early experiences and exposure, nutrition, training.
So many things influence the type of dog your puppy will become.
I personally love a giant dog that can make decisions like knowing where and when they are needed and what actions are appropriate.

No music, just the singing of the birds. Taking time to enjoy the moment and do a bit of Daydreaming.
When Kentucky weather turns cold and 8 week old mastiff pup wants to play. 5 month old Esma Lucille knows there’s no rowdy romps inside but pink collar girl insists.
Evening playtime. Not too rowdy or Nanna will fuss. Kitty 🐈⬛ does start it most of the time. She’s tough but I have to be easy cause she’s smaller than me.
New family, New game, Happy Puppy!
Empty cow pasture is a great space to romp and explore. Luna (the brindle) is still adjusting, she’s the one unhooking the gate in last night’s post, learning her way around but definitely doesn’t want to be left out where she can’t be close to one of us. Only 11 months so still a puppy. Confidence will come. Jack Noir, the black pup is a friend to everyone and his happy wagging tail looks like it will tumble him over when he runs. 😆 Pets and paise are all it takes to get them interested in playing this new game. Jack loves treats but if I walk around outside with cookies in my pocket all the critters would mob me! 😂
Esma Lucille got her ears done this week. She’s been a perfect patient and hasn’t seemed to notice at all! The first day one drooped a bit but since then they have been laying flat on her head. Will call tomorrow but I’m wondering if they will require taping to stand up? I was pretty nervous about the procedure and Rob and I debated quite a bit before but now I’m thrilled with the choice. I have scheduled an appointment for one of her brothers still needing a family. Thinking I will take the big black guy.
Sound is what makes this great! Kids and puppies 🐶. No matter how old they are, there’s nothing better than the sound of your children laughing. Next time son visits maybe he will listen when Mom tells him ‘jeans and a belt’.
** This is a farm. When you visit puppies please think about proper attire and footwear. We want everyone to be safe and have fun! Think play clothes! Outdoor seating with appropriate health precautions are implemented. Ty.**
Time to learn that warrior princess battle cry! I’ve decided these 2 girls will be Xena and Gabrielle till their new parents find them.
Kentucky Bantam Cat n 4 week mastiff
Uncle Fluffy Nutz loves puppies! He has an important part play in their socialization process. With constant exposure to the babies, keeping him parasite free and in tip top shape is just one of the many behind the scenes steps we juggle to give our pups the best possible start.
Snorting is what cracks me up! I’m forever checking in on my little singer. Mommy is having a break and breakfast. Not snack time yet- take a nap 💤 fatty boy.
