She is beautiful!!!!

I am the same way with my Pyrenees....everyone thinks he is huge and I dont...but he is smaller than the norm

I was hoping he would be bigger.....hopefully one day I will get me a Saint

I think its because we become used to the size. Addy is quite a bit larger than my bull mastiffs now(heigth wise). They all seem like big dogs to me, but not huge. Then again I think I have a weird view of dog sizes. I consider most labs to be medium sized dogs, where every body else says large. I think my bullys are large, then saints, english mastiffs and Newfs to be giant. LAbs just don't look big to me.

Anways I was doing some reading on line. It seems to say that in giant breed dogs at 6 months of age they tend to be 50% of their adult weight (which puts Addy around 166), and I think it said 70% of their adult height. Oh well I guess I just wait and see.

People think my 80+ pound husky mixes are big.....but they don't seem that way to me. I guess it's all a matter of perspective.

My scale for dog size is as follows; 0-25 lbs=tiny, 26-50=small, 51-100=medium, 101-150=large, 151+ is extra large.

I have only ever had medium dogs, a golden, a doberman, and two malamute or husky mixes. I would like to step up to large or extra large in the future, the bigger the better!

29 weeks-96lbs... another week or 2 and we'll hit the 100 lb mark!

She's a doll!

I think I took hundreds of pictures of my Beauregard as he was growing up. Actually, he still is. At 220lbs, he's 3 1/2 years old and the breeder has been begging me to show him. He says he wont be fully mature for another 6 months

But somehow, my English Mastiff "Miso" who passed on just a few days before Christmas

seemed just as big as Beuregard. I think the Mastiffs massively dense bone structure has something to do with it. The long haired Saints are just huge, cuddly fur balls (with drool)

Is that Beauregard in your avatar? He is gorgeous! I love Addy, she has such a sweet natured dog but does seem to have a pretty high prey drive.. much higher than my Bullmastiffs, but she is learning. She is smart but has a stubborn streak.... I am so curious to see what her final size will be.. she is growing slow and steady now which is ideal!

I'm so very excited!!!!! I finally got a purebred Saint pup!!!!! She reminds me of the 1/2 blood I had. I hope she turns out to be as good of a dog. She's 10 weeks old today and he had just lowered his price to $100 and we even got her papers for that. My daughter in law and I both got one. I'll post pictures if I can get some good ones of her. Unfortunately my husband wouldn't agree to her being an inside dog so she'll have to be outside most of the time....he says one 80+ dog and 6 cats in the house are enough. My two outside dogs don't seem to mind her.

ETA: If I get down on her level to take pictures she's in my face so these aren't the best of her. I weighed her and she's just shy of 25 pounds. In the last picture she's staring at one of my husky mixes who she's not sure if she should trust or not. She's very calm and laid back....she did find out that the barn cats weren't in the mood to play!
