Hello all;....my name is lauren cannon, i am the proud owner of a mastiff named titan who we show in the show ring...i am sooo excited that i had to do a quick brag. I handle titan myself, i get comments on how horrible i do and whatnot...just because i have only been doing this for 6 months. WELL.... Today we had a dog show, and we beat the #2 mastiff in the country!!!! We ended up with the best of winners dog...we are very excited. If anyone knows anything about dog shows, they will understand the politics of things, and being a newbie....it is almost impossible to win with all the Pro's. I beat the PRO's!!!!! I am so excited..ok that is it!

:thumbup: Awesome! I love Mastiffs. If we didn't live in such a small house, i would totally have one.

Hey LShelley, how much does your mastiff weigh? I have a Newf that weighs in @ 190 lbs (and he's not fat at all). I'm pretty sure mastiffs are even larger dogs than Newfoundlands, correct?

He is only 14 months right now, so he has a lot more to grow, but as of today he weighs in at 190 too! He got sick this weekend and lost 15 pounds!! He didn't eat one thing, and vomited a lot too. I felt horrible, although he loves the ring, so we went anyway! he is also 35 inches tall too

So cool! Post a pic of him!!

here he is 9 months old...right now he is 14...i will find a new one, might take me a while though!

Titan Hoosier Daddy

in this picture he weighs 170 and is 32 inches at the shoulders..he looks taller because he is on a stand...

That is a big ol' boy!! What a beautiful dog.

Thank you...he is a goof ball!! he goes through the zoomies...and runs in circles...he is sooo funny. I also have a great dane and a belgian malinois too...the belgian was originally boarding with me, then the owners called me last month and asked me to euthanize her because they didn't want her any more!!!! So we kept her too....we also have 4 ferrets, and a cat...and right now we have 3 other dogs boarding with us...so we are crazy with dogs right now!!! We have a cockapoo...jack russel mix, and a shar pei pup too. So we have 6 dogs at our house!!!

So, I'm looking at those jowls, and boy do those look familiar. I take it the mastiff is a "wet-mouth" like my Newf is?

I showed my Boxer so I know what you mean about the politics of dog shows. I loved watching the very amusing tactics that some people will go to to win.

Well done on winning its very exciting to get a few wins but hard when you waste time and money and come away with nothing.

as a dog person myself (mostly labs) i had to reply that your dog is BEAUTIFUL., just a good looking boy!!

He definitly is a wet mouth...you know...i thought drool was horrible..but...wait until your dog gets kennel cough. I love the drool....the boogers are SO MUCH WORSE!!!

The white dog is our great dane, long sob story about her. She is deaf and night blind too, the sweetest dog anyone will ever meet. She is better trained than any hearing dog! Her name is Jazmine. The cat..well...she is a pain in the fanny, her name is crystal. Titan (mastiff) and Crystal used to be best friends, when titan was little he used to carry the kitten around in his mouth gently....then he wasn't gentle any more..lol. But kitty now loves the big white dog...jazmine.

your mastiff is gorgous!!!! I wanted one so bad but was scared of slobber. Do they really slobber alot? We have a 5 year old Rhodesian Ridgeback who is like our first born child, spoiled rotten, loved deeply.
