Welcome! I’ve had all those breeds. Great choices! 180 lbs seems like a huge bull mastiff. My Old English Mastiff weighed about that much, but he was on the slender side. Such a big sweet baby. Ask lots of questions. This is a great place to find information!

I love them so much. And he is. He’s pretty slender mostly. And the biggest drooliest baby ever, until you mess with us or the livestock.

Fabulous pictures! We like pictures of dogs and horses too.
FYI, you can add photos to your own albums in the gallery. You can make them private or public.
