What cross breed is she.. Bullmastiff x ???

[Melhusking]

Hi there, I purchased a pup from a local fellow who had both parents and 2 pups from the previous litter. Dad is a Bullmastiff and is very typical of the type. Mum is also a Bullmastiff but she has more wiry coat, long legs and long muzzle! When I questioned the fellow about mums background he acknowledge that mum had some Irish Wolfhound or Great Dane in her which would account for the long muzzle and legs that go all the way up! When Bonnie was 10 weeks she looked like all the other fawn pure bred Bullmastiffs on the internet but 5 weeks later she now looks a little like a camel with these huge feet and long nose!

Please don't misunderstand, I love her, she is absolutely beautiful! Extremely loving and very tolerant of my 3 year old twins who love to get up close and personal with her

I want to find out as much as I can about her cross because she is going to be a giant and with those kind of dogs there has to be certain things as an owner you need to be aware of. We are in the last week of puppy school and I am going to look for an obedience school for her to keep her socialised for the Bullmastiff side of her.

Any ideas??? Any photos out their of a cross with either Great Dane or Irish Wolfhound? Bonnie has a very soft smooth coat which is why I don't think that she has the wolfhound but the previous owner was sure mum had some of those genes.

Could you post a picture. If she is giant breed you want to start by putting her on an all stage food not puppy. With giant breeds you want them to grow slowly so there bones and joints get dense enough to hold there weight. This can help with problems later on in life. Hip and knee problems are a big problem with these big kids. Please also feed the best quality food you can afford it does make a difference.

Hi there mastifflover, I am so pleased that you responded to my question. I heard about you from doing a search on the mastiff x dane in google and your name came up on one of these forums as someone who would be able to give great advice! I am not sure how to attach photos to this site as there isn't a pin or icon for this. I will figure this out and get back to you soon. Thanks again for responding.

Hi Mastifflover, I have set up a facebook site for the photos as I can't upload to this site until I have been using it for a while.

Hi Aslan, perhaps try it now... I'm really useless with these new sites. I need a good instruction manual for all this technology

when you go to post a reply, pass the button you normally push to post, you'll see a button that says manage attachments, click it, click browse, find picture, but you must resize to no more than 100k, i use paint, then click upload, close that window, go past the manage attach button to the second submit reply button, poof pics.
