My mastiff is 13 months old and she just started her first heat. The only sign was a few drops of blood on the floor when she stood up. Females will swell in that area as well. If there are male dogs around they might be much more interested in your dog than usual.
Female mastiff puppies will go into heat between six months old and two years old. The 18-month gap in the possible onset of the first heat is because of the size of the Mastiff breed. Dogs are usually in heat 1 ½ to 2 weeks, every 8 months.
I have a Male English Mastiff which is called Murphy. If you do not like this name, and you would like another one starting with M and it is a boy, please go to: http://www.2babynames.com/babyboym.shtml Copy and Paste, please. Hope this info helped you a lot!
Most larger dog breeds have their first estrus at around 15 months.
Yes. My English mastiff was very hesitant at first in the water and would only go so deep. When it started getting warmer and more people and dogs were swimming, she decided to give it a try and loves it. I know some mastiffs do not swim but they have the ability to.
Everything I've read tells me that the English Mastiff is the largest dog breed in the world. The ones I've seen are bigger than the one or two St Bernards I've seen. We're talking a 300 pound dog here! Autchully the English mastiff weighs about 290 for males they can but the minimum is about 267 pounds The st.benard wouldn't fight the English mastiff because the St.benard has to be in a cold cliement but if they didnt the mastiff would win because it outweighs it and it is the biggest house-outside dog in the world other than the codiac or bear or black bear or anything else the English mastiff and stbenard are biger than even the Hyeana.
Many go into heat aroung 8-12 months.
if your talking breed than it is either a bull mastiff or a st. brenard and if your saying house dog dog it is Zorba, an English Mastiff, went down in history as the heaviest and tallest dog ever in 1989 with a weight of 343lbs and measured over 8 feet from nose to tail. if you want more big dogs go here http://www.worldslargestdog1.com/ hope this helps.
Nebolish Mastiffs are an effort to recreate the Mastiff people read about in History, improving upon the bad health and low agility that plagued the Old English Mastiff breed since the war era. Nebolish are a great improvement on the Mastiff breed, by careful selective crossbreeding and linebreeding. The hope of the Nebolish Mastiff Club is that they never become so popular to loose the integrety of the breed, and compromise the work of this Club since its first meeting, in 1968. Please review the history of the Old English Mastiff, and understand the goal of the Nebolish Mastiff as a breed. Over the past few centuries the Old English Mastiff, well known as the Mastiff, has been perfected in the Nebolish Mastiff, from crossbreeding to several breeds of molloser type dogs – all being dogs of the working class. This may have been done for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to, – necessity (to resuscitate a dying breed), geography, lack of compatible regional breeding stock, and, in some cases, ignorance. Below is an etching of Lukey’s Governor and his pedigree…Regardless of why it was done, the combination of all the breeds mixed into this great breed has created the Nebolish Mastiff as we know and love him today. All Mastiffs, of the old English variety, share a common gene pool; the majority of which can be linked directly to a handful of dogs. The studbooks, which were hand written back in the 1800s, show that many of our ancestral Mastiffs all go back to one particularly small gene pool. In the beginning, this would include Lukey’s Governor, for whom the standard was written to reflect in 1867. From this 1867 standard, we created our 1986, Nebolish Mastiff Standard. See Nebolish Mastiff Standard approved by Nebolish Mastiff Club Of America.As you can see from his pedigree above, not much was known about his sire's side of the tree, but the dam's side is very interesting if you go back and look at the lineage closely.* *****Lukey's Bruce II ( Grandfather & Great-great Grandfather) above - he is listed as a 'blue brindle'. A Color still produced in the Nebolish MastiffHertford's Pluto ( Great-great Grandfather) above - he is listed as a ' black rough coated Tibetan Mastiff' why you would get a longer coat, on 1 pup in a litter, on rare occasion.And, just for fun, below is the pedigree for Thompsons’ Juno, Lukey's Great-Grandmother...Waterton's Tiger, who is also related (it gets kinda confusing when you see all the in-breeding and linebreeding - counted at least 5 'greats' to this one) to the Lukey kid. It seems that Thompson's Duchess' great, great-Grandmom (Crabtree's Dorah) goes back to a male on her dams side by the name of 'Waterton's Tiger (pedigree above). Turns out he is an Irish import Great Dane with a cropped tail - or possibly a Boarhound.******
Dogs typically go into heat for the first time between 6-12 months of age, but this can vary depending on the breed and size of the dog. Smaller breeds may go into heat earlier, while larger breeds may go into heat later.
No but I honestly would not recommend this crossing of breeds as the heavier dog the Dane is crossed with the more pressure it puts on the heart, Danes have very small hearts compared to their size in pure breed Danes..... plus the lower eye lid will sag and cause problems in the dogs eyes. If you want a large dog go for an Neapolitan Mastiff
Dachshunds go into heat every 4-10 months. Usually the first heat cycle a female has is not representative of the number of months between heat cycles. The best indication is the number of months from that first heat to a second heat. Pregnancy does interrupt heat cycles, however they usually return to their original number of months between heats.
Female dogs of all breeds have menses (called the "heat cycle", or estrus) twice a year on average starting at around 7-10 months of age. A female dog will gain the most in health benefits if they are spayed before they have their first heat cycle.
