In the UK the record biggest mastiff was about the same size. He lived in a local pub. He used to carry the publican’s daughter around in her baby rocker because he was so proud of her. She learned to walk holding his ears. RIP Archie, mastiffs are wonderful ambassadors for dogs. Gentle, handsome, and utterly daft, a joy forever.

@Kimmaline Жыл бұрын

I was largely raised by my grandparents, and my Pops was a firefighter in SF. He had as his hunting dog, what else? A dalmation named Spot. That dog...apparently I leanred to walk holding onto his back--he would take a step, wait for me to take some steps, then he would step. They have pictures of this in front of the house. We also have a picture of me sitting in my DOLL basinette at about 2yo and Spotty trying to push me in that. That dog--it was like when my mom first brought me in the house, my Pops looked at Spotty and said, "see this? We give our lives for this baby." And Spot thought it was a new hunting command. I remember that my Gran couldn't rock me to sleep unless Spotty was laying in the room, and I remember him sleeping next to my bed when I was no more than 3yo. He was SUCH a great dog. He lived an extremely long life for a Dalmation--the literal perfect dog life. Summers in the mountains 75mi off grid; hunting and hiking and fishing and foraging berries. But he got to curl up next to a fire in winter and just snooze. I will stop telling my life story to strangers now. Apologies. The way you described that pub mastiff I could just see him in my head--and I had to share. I hadn't thought of that picture in years.

Mastiffs are incredibly food motivated! It often places before even sleep and recieving pets, which they adore. For food, a mastiff will do almost anything it can think of, save let someone they deem as a threat approach someone they care about. THEN the instincts override and they start growling and barking so deep and loud that it reverberates throughout the landscape. They are sweety-pies though. Even if theyre scaredy-cats, they'll put that aside to ward off danger from their family.

I didn’t know that diet played a roll in ear infections! That explains why, when I left my canine charge with her permanent person, she had an ear infection when I picked her up. The other dogs didn’t, but the food was different. Really good, healthy food, but different. Her regular diet coupled with diligently cleaning with olive oil cleared it up in a few days. I learn so much from watching your channel, thank you!

PSA for ear infections. Diet does play a huge role, just like Vanessa mentioned, but you can also use this product called Zymox that's available over the counter. The vet I used to work for was a rural livestock vet, so he had to have a cheap(ish), convenient solution for farmers and ranchers to treat their dog's ears, so he just stocked this stuff and handed it out. Always talk to your vet first and don't use it on perforated eardrums, but if your dog just has yeasty, itchy ears, Zymox with hydrocortisone is amazing.

@theemanfamily Жыл бұрын

We’re currently using Zymox right now! Thank you for spreading the word!! But we have also consulted his vet 😊😊

Such a wonderful dog! As a veterinary nurse I love how you make it about the animal and their comfort but when it comes to an infected ear, don't clean it! When you clean the ear out it makes it difficult to collect an ear cytology sample. It's important to know what kinda infection and how bad of an infection we are dealing with to pick the best medication and ear cleaner to help it heal. It's hard to treat an ear with barely any sample.

I was an EMT and a vet tech. I've had all manner of bodily fluids from human and animal on me, from urine to blood to brain matter. Still, the ONLY one that gets to me and makes me both cringe and gag, is saliva/drool. Doesn't matter if it's from a human, dog, cat whatever. Winston you're a beautiful boy, but it was a struggle to get through this video lol

I’ve had Danes close to 200 lbs but I had a mixed breed, built like a mastiff that was 130 lbs. But he knew how to use his weight so you could not make him do anything. If you tried to clip his nails he would lay down and tuck his paws under his body. It was impossible without 3 people. The sweetest dog though. Just a pile of love.

He's also the biggest lap dog ever. He's big and has a loud bark but he loves people and kids. You're positive reinforcement technique is on point lol.
