updated dog pic

jerguar · 02-14-2003, 01:09 PM

I had posted a pic of my English Mastiff Maximus a while back, so I thought I'd throw in an updated one. This is my two boys Jerin (5 years old in the pic), and his best bud Maximus (not quite two here). He is now weighing in at 280 lbs. and has reached 36" tall at the shoulder. The couch kinda gives perspective....

JESUS!

I remember the old pictures, but I hadn't realized how big he was until you mentioned that couch. Good lord.

What a delightfully stately looking beast.

I want to have one of those ... two actually. I like big dogs.

That Guy · 02-14-2003, 02:23 PM

How many kids do you have to feed him?

jerguar · 02-14-2003, 02:32 PM

but he prefers 6 lbs. of dry food a day...or an occasional 2 X 4 from my fence...

That Guy · 02-14-2003, 02:54 PM

A 40lb bag/wk? Jeez!

jerguar · 02-14-2003, 03:11 PM

and he doesn't eat regular food. It's a fancy giant breed dog food. Lookms like big charcoal briquets. If anyone ever wants a Mastiff, be prepared to shell out a couple grand a year just in food and pigs ears...he's very much worth it though...

The thing I can't stop thinking about is the dogshit removal job. Our two 12 pound Bostons produce little AA-sized units that dry up overnight and blow away in the morning wind. We only have dog duty duty when they've been hitting the same spot for a while (as now, when it's snowy). Otherwise we can share the backyard in peace.

40 lbs of food per week means 40 lbs of dogshit per week, I don't envy you that particular part of big dog ownership!

jerguar · 02-14-2003, 03:55 PM

it's actually a lot more like picking up cow pies than dog shiat. Luckily I have a large easement behind my fence where I can just huck the gaggers over. Very green back there....

That made me giggle.
Handsome as he is, a close encounter with that giant would huck the gaggers outta me.

Now *thats* a fucking dog! 280lbs! How the hell do you transport him? Or does he just drive?

When I grow up I want a dog just like this. I'll have a separate wing of the house set aside for him though, I don't need to get confrontational with a dog this big. He'll have *his* recliner and I'll have mine.

As for the dogfood and related costs. Does he work?

LMAO. Very funny description UT.

lawman · 02-14-2003, 09:02 PM

wow.... all I can say is wow. I'll bet he is a gentile giant... otherwise he would have eaten you or your offspring!

big dogs rule.... chew toy dogs are annoying IMO.

still I find it hard to imagine playing with a dog that outweighed me by a hundred pounds.

your kids must adore him!

Elspode · 02-14-2003, 11:36 PM

What's the brown fuzzy thing in front of him? Lunch?

Nice dog, man...I do *not* have the patience or time to dedicate to a monster like that. It is all we can do to spoil our mini-mutt.
