IF ANY OF YA ANY HAVE QUESTIONS PLEASE MESSAGE ME. QUESTIONS ARE GOOD, THERE ARE NO SUCH THINGS AS DUMB QUESTIONS. IT'S HOW WE LEARN AND I DON'T MIND AT ALL. I WELCOME QUESTIONS AND PLEASE THINK AND ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU DECIDE ON A PUPPY CAUSE I TRY SO HARD TO FIND FOREVER HOMES.
YES, LIFE CHANGES, CIRCUMSTANCES CHANGE I AM A REALIST, BUT I DON'T WANT SOMEONE TO GET A PUP THEN SAY OMG HE SO BIG OR HE EATS TOO MUCH, HE CHEWS.
PUPPIES CHEW THINGS, I ALWAYS HAVE COW OR HORSE HOOVES FOR THAT VERY REASON AND LOTS OF TOYS. NOW WILL SAY MY ENG MASTIFFS NEVER CHEWED STUFF UP, NOW BO WELL GOT TO WATCH HIM, TYPICAL ROTTIE LOVES SOCKS, TOWELS AND BLANKETS, THE CURE IS BUY ONE OF THOSE BABY PIECES OF BLANKETS WITH AN ANIMAL HEAD ON IT, SORRY DON'T KNOW THE NAME. BUT PUPPIES LOVE THEM. THEY SELL THEM FOR BABIES.
THESE PUPPIES WILL EAT ALOT FOR FIRST YR, BIG DOGS TO BE EXPECTED. JUST ASKIN EVERYONE TO USE SOME COMMON SENSE BEFORE COMMITTING TO ONE OF MY BABIES.
COMMON SENSE QUESTIONS CAUSE I SEE ALL THESE EXCUSES ON GROUPS OR SHELTERS. ASK YOURSELF DO YOU HAVE THE TIME, DO YOU KNOW HOW TO TRAIN OR CAN GO TO PUPPY TRAININ CLASSES, CAN YOU AFFORD TO FEED A BIG DOG. DO YOU HAVE THE PATIENCE TO RAISE A PUPPY WHEN THEY DECIDE TO CHEW SOMETHING OF YOURS. TO SOME OF US THIS IS COMMON SENSE BUT SOME PURCHASE DOGS WITH NO FORETHOUGHT THEN THE POOR BABIES END UP CHAINED TO A TREE, TOSSED TO BASEMENT TO LIVE, OR WORSE DUMPED OR MAYBE HIT CAUSE THEY HAVE NO PATIENCE TO RAISE A PUPPY. I WOULD HURT SOMEONE IF THEY DID THAT TO ONE OF MINE AND I FOUND OUT.
PUPPIES ARE PUPPIES FOR MORE THAN 6 MOS. IT'S NOT THAT HARD TO TRAIN A PUP, PEOPLE MAKE IT DIFFICULT. AGAIN, I TRAIN SO TRAININ QUESTIONS PLEASE ASK AS I AM NOT THE SELF RIGHTEOUS KNOW IT ALL TYPES WHO'S GONNA TALK A BUNCH OF CRAP AND MAKE IT COMPLCATED FOR YA. LOTS OF THEM ON HERE ARE FULL OF THEMSELVES. LOOK I'M A NO NONSENSE SIMPLE DOWN TO EARTH PERSON AND DON'T GIVE A CRAP WHAT ALL THESE SO-CALLED PROFESSIONALS THINK. TRAININ IS SIMPLE WHY CAUSE FIRST QUESTION I WOULD ASK YOU WHAT YA GONNA DO WITH YOUR DOG? IS IT GOING TO WORK, HAVE A SPECIFIC JOB? OR BE A PET AND WATCH DOG/GUARD DOG? I SUSPECT MOST WOULD SAY PET/COMPANIONSHIP/GUARD DOG/WATCHDOG. IF THIS IS THE ANSWER NO PROBLEM, IGNORE EVERYTHING YA EVER HEARD AND GET AHOLD OF ME. IT'S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE FOLKS, SO HAVE NO FEAR.

WITH ALL THAT SAID ANYONE GETTIN EXCITED I'M THINKIN IN ABOUT 2-1/2 WEEKS WE SHOULD BE SEEING SOME PUPPIES, THEN AGAIN COULD BE WRONG BUT SOMEWHERE IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD I'D SAY. 🥰

ENG. MASTWEILER INFO-THIS IS A RECOGNIZED BREED IN THE UK, HAS BEEN FOR YEARS.
History
This breed was said to have been developed by a group of dog enthusiasts in Birmingham with the intention of creating a Molosser breed with a large body-buildup. They wanted it to be superior to the English Mastiff in terms of agility, ability to work, guarding skills, and discharging duties assigned by police and military officials were concerned. They also desired dogs that would be well-trained and emerge as good family companions. Therefore, after importing the Rottweiler breed from Germany, they started crossing it with the Bull Mastiffs and most commonly with the English mastiffs.

I believe they preferred the Eng Mastiff over the Bull Mastiff due to Bull Mastiffs tend to be much more aggressive.
Eng Mastiffs are much more laid back and are not aggressive unless need be to protect family.
The Male Mastweilers like with most breeds will tend to be bigger than the females. I'd say they will be anywhere from 27"-30" in height and weigh anywhere from 90-150 lbs more or less.
I do want folks to know that these are not a breed you can be harsh with. If any of you have ever had a Rottie or an Eng. Mastiff they tend to be tender hearted and harsh training will backfire on ya. These breeds do not need harsh training as the 2 breeds want to please you and want you to be happy with them.
The pups of these babies of mine will be good dogs due to the parents temperaments. My Rottie Bo is fun loving, great with kids, farm animals, dogs and cats. His first friends were a baby chick and a cat. His best friend is a 6lb Maltese, whom all my big dogs love, belongs to a good friend of mine. Bo is still young and he is a real laid back Rottie.
My Eng. Mastiff girls are really Laid back, they love to snuggle and watch T.V. They will play some with the other dogs when outside. Lilo will fetch a ball or a frisbee. For the Most part my girls when not outside are couch potatoes lol.
Now, make no mistake about it though as one online trainer has stated Eng Mastiff need no trainin when comes to protecting family, they come with it from the factory. They seem to just know when it's needed. Bo the Rottie has met no enemies to this point he has been well socialized and has not met a person nor dog he hasn't liked when out with him. At home they are watching and will alert someone comin down my farm road, but if I let them know its alright then their fine. I sleep well I am well protected, I have no doubts in my mind these babies of mine have my back, guarantee it.
I have plans to keep one of the pups myself, heck what's one more. If there are enough of them. lol.

JUST AN FYI:
MY LITTER THIS ROUND WILL BE HIGHER THAN PAST PUPS TIRED OF PEOPLE TAKIN ADVANTAGE OF ME. I TAKE EXCEPTIONAL CARE OF MY BABIES AND THEY ARE WORTH WHAT LIL I CHARGE EVEN THESE STILL BE FAIR.
SOME FOLKS WILL WAIT TO SEE IF THE PRICES WILL LOWER AND I KNOW WHO THEY ARE. IF YOUR ONE OF THOSE I WILL REFUSE TO SELL ONE TO YOU.
WHEN I BOUGHT MY NEW ROTTWEILER, I DID NOT JEW HER DOWN, DID NOT WHINE AND GIVE SOME SOB STORY SO MAYBE SHE'D LOWER THE PRICE. WHY? CAUSE I RESPECT HER TIME AND THE WAY SHE CARED FOR HER BABIES LIKE ME SO WAS WELL WORTH IT.
I KNEW IT WAS HIGHER BUT PRICES HAVE GONE UP AND IT WAS NOT AN UNREASONABLE PRICE, SHE LIKE ME WAS STILL LOWER THAN MOST. DID I HAVE IT NO, BUT I WANTED A PARTICULAR STUD THEREFORE HAD TO WAIT AND THAT GAVE ME TIME TO FIGURE OUT WHAT I HAD TO DO TO COME UP WITH THAT MONEY AND I DID.
IF YOU WANT A GOOD PUP THAT'S WELL FED, WELL CARED FOR SOCIALIZED YOU SHOULD BE WILLING TO PAY FOR THAT TIME INVESTED NOT TO MENTION ALL THE COST OF RAISING A GREAT LITTER WHEN DONE RIGHT. LOTS OF THEM OUT THERE WITH HIGHER COST DON'T INVEST THE TIME NOR ARE AS WELL CARED FOR AS OTHERS AND FOLKS HAVE NO PROBLEM PAYIN THEIR OUTRAGEOUS PRICES.
JUST CAUSE SOME OF US DON'T CHARGE 2000 DOESN'T MEAN OUR DOGS ARE NO GOOD WE JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO GIVE EVERYDAY REG FOLKS A SHOT AT HAVIN THE DOG THEY WANT BUT CAN'T AFFORD TO. I HAVE BEEN AS HIGH AS 750 YRS BACK. THESE WILL BE TINY BIT MORE, NOT BY MUCH.
MASTWEILERS ARE ACTUALLY A RECOGNIZED BREED IN THE UK HAVE BEEN FOR YRS, SOMEDAY MAYBE HERE. I WOULD LIKE TO GET THEM RECOGNIZED HERE. ONLY ONE REGISTRY THAT WILL REG THEM AND I AM CONSIDERING IT CAUSE MY DOGS ARE REG BREEDS.
I TOOK 2 YEARS OFF, ONE CAUSE PEOPLE WERE HURTIN FOR MONEY AND I DUG MYSELF INTO A HOLE CONTINUING TO DO PUPS THINKIN IT WOULD GET BETTER. THE DOGS WERE GOOD DOGS BUT I HAD STRAYED AWAY FROM THE ORIGINAL TYPE OF DOG I HAD DONE WHICH WERE ROTTIES. I ALSO THINK SOME FOLKS DIDN'T WANT THE LONG HAIR WHEN I WENT TO GERMANESE THEN TO ENG MASTIFF SHEPHERDS.
SO, I HAD TO RETHINK AND DECIDED TO DO MASTWEILERS WHY? CAUSE ROTTIES ARE A ROMAN MASTIFF TYPE DOG SO IT'S AS CLOSE AS I WOULD GET TO DOING ROTTIES. ROTTWEILERS ARE NOT AN EASY BREED TO DO, BELIEVE IT OR NOT THE BABIES ARE WEAKER THAN SMALL BREED PUPS. THEY ARE TOUGH TO RAISE AND MOST ROTTIE MOMS ARE NOT GOOD MOTHERS EITHER.
HENCE MY ENG MASTIFF DECISION, I LOVE THE BREED REALLY GOOD MAMAS AND PUPS TOUGH.
I AM REALLY EXCITED WITH MY DECISION AND THINK MY BUYERS WILL BE TOO. IT'S A GREAT BREED, NO LONG HAIR TO DEAL WITH, MORE LAID BACK THE COMBO MAKES THEM EASIER TO TRAIN, GREAT GUARD DOGS AND EXTREMELY LOYAL.
WITH THE TIMES WERE IN I BELIEVE THIS WAS A GOOD CHOICE AS TWO OLDER FELLOWS WERE TALKIN TO ME AND I TOLD THEM CAN ONLY HOPE TIME IS RIGHT THEY BOTH TOLD ME LOOK WERE OLDER THAN YOU AND OUR FRIENDS NO LONGER WANT TO SPEND 3000 ON LIL DOGS WHO CAN'T PROTECT US IN THIS SCARY WORLD WE NOW LIVE IN. THEY ARE TALKIN ABOUT GETTIN BIGGER DOGS AND ONE THEY MENTIONED WAS MASTIFFS OR MIX MASTIFFS CAUSE FOR OLDER FOLKS THEY ARE MORE LAID BACK BUT ARE INTIMIDATING. THEY MADE ME FEEL BETTER ABOUT GOING THROUGH WITH THE BREEDING.
SO, HERE'S TO MY NEW JOURNEY OF WHAT I BELIEVE ARE GOING TO BE SOME AWESOME MASTWEILER PUPS. BEING THAT THE GIRLS EACH HAVE A BRINDLE PARENT AND ONE HAS A FAWN PARENT THE OTHER AN APRICOT PARENT SO ONE OF MINE IS REVERSE BRINDLE THE OTHER APRICOT. THRU THE MASTIFFS ALL MASTIFF COLORS ARE POSSIBLE AND SOME CAN COME OUT LOOKIN STRAIGHT ROTTIE. SOME COULD LOOK ROTTIES WITH BRINDLE STRIPES IN THE BLACK. I'M LOOKIN FORWARD TO SEEING THEM AND SEEING WHAT I GET.
I AM CONTEMPLATING KEEPIN A MALE FROM LILO SO I GET FIRST PICK LOL BO NEEDS A PLAYMATE WHO WILL PLAY ROUGH WITH HIM A SON SHOULD DO THE JOB (NEUTERED OF COURSE).
I ALREADY HAVE A PUP FROM MYSTIC. PIKA MY SERVICE DOG IS HER DAUGHTER, WHY I WANT THIS PUP TO BE FROM LILO. 🥰
THE GIRLS ARE DOING WELL. THEY'RE ON A GOOD PREGO DIET FULL OF HEALTHY FOODS. RIGHT NOW, THEY'RE ON A KICK OF HAVING YOGURT AND BLUEBERRIES RIGHT BEFORE BED. HEY, THEY LIKE IT IT'S HEALTHY, BLUEBERRIES ARE GREAT FOR DOGS AS IS YOGURT. THEIR ON RED CELL LIQUID VITAMIN WHICH IS GREAT STUFF ALONG WITH LIQUID B COMPLEX DROPS. LOTS OF MEAT AND VEGGIES OH AND LET'S NOT FORGET LILOS BANANAS.
BETWEEN THE PERSONALITIES OF THE MAMA'S AND BO THESE PUPS WILL BE SO LOVING AND SO SMART. BO IS AN AWESOME ROTTIE BABY. THESE PUPS WILL BE BIG, AS BO IS AT 9 MOS STANDING AT 30" TO HIS WITHERS AND WELL OVER A 105 LBS WHICH WAS HIS LAST WEIGHT THIS PAST SUMMER, NEED TO GO GET HIM WEIGHED AGAIN. BOTH GIRLS OVER 100LBS TOO. LILO PREPREG WEIGHT WAS 140 AT LAST WEIGH IN WHICH WAS IN SPRING. MYSTIC IS A BIT OF A SMALLER GIRL. DO NOT LET SIZE THOUGH DETER YOU AS I AM A SENIOR AND I OWN 5 BIG DOGS AND HAVE NO ISSUES WITH THEM AS THEY ARE ALL PRETTY LAID BACK AND EASY GOING. 🥰😁

IF ANY OF YOU IS INTERESTED PUT NAME IN COMMENTS, JUST CURIOUS RIGHT NOW. I AM GRATEFUL FOR EVERYONES' PATIENCE WHILE I TOOK A BREAK AND RETHOUGHT MY DIRECTION ON MY BABIES. THANK-YOU.

I'M CALLIN BOTH GIRLS PREGO.
Definitely heard heart beats today with stethoscope. Doppler came early and did not work but was told today from another woman they work best after 50 days prego lol. Okay so maybe by end of next week for doppler. Might help for count.
I'm estimating Lilo to be about 42days and Mystic would be a bit less? Either case they both are far enough now that I heard heart beats. So, yippee!!😁
