LOL!! Great picture Lindy - I'm just looking out of my window at one of my boys who is rushing to and fro coz he just had a little shower fall on his back and is screaming for Mum to bring him back in before he gets any wetter - what a wooz!!
Your dog is absolutely beautiful - they are such gorgeous dogs. My friend had one - a rescue - and she was just amazing. I think she said that she was a Neopolitan Mastiff??
Lulu and her Dad (both sadly passed on now)
She was a BIG lady!!

Oh yes what a beautiful girl
..they are such big softies
I think Dinky is getting so fed up of getting a soaking 1 minute and then having a strong blow dry across the paddock bless her..she was having a good old gallop this morning looking like she was trying to dodge the rain drops..but now the sun is out and she has the wind up her tail once again having a good a play with mum..Poor Dad is inside he doesnt like the rain at all and if he had his way he would stay in all day all night..so long as he has his hay and he can chat over the stable door hes happy

I love that pic!! lol good job catching that one!! what a cutie!! the both of them
lets hope Dinky gets his temperament
I love the way that different animals seem to love each other's company.
Lulu, in spite of being a rescue, was wonderful with all the other animals that my friend had - I have pics somewhere of her sharing the carrots from the feed bowls of friend's rabbits, with the rabbits trying to pull the carrots back out of her mouth! Also friend had a sparrow fly into her house and stay put for the winter, got a pic of him sitting on Lulu's paw while they are both warming themselves in front of the fire, bless!
I am lucky enough to have 4 very special friends in my life (believe it or not we met via the internet back in 2003!) and over the years we have spent several brilliant holidays together with our dogs - trouble was that we always had to make sure there was enough room in some of the cottages we rented for Lulu!!
Sadly this friend lost her beloved hubby literally overnight to a brain tumour and Lulu 3 weeks later (I think that although she was getting on in years, she pined for her Daddy, bless her) Now friend has a rescued Lab, plus a young cocker/poodle cross (the first pup she has ever had that was not a rescue) and has just taken on an extremely pityful 10 year old Lab who a couple of weeks ago was too starved and weak to even manage to stand up alone for more than a few minutes. Thankfully he is already improving and if anyone can 'save' him it will be my friend.
What 'problems' did you have with the Mastiff who came into your surgery Cassie?

how is the Dinky training going Lindi??
Anna... neopolitan mastiffs have huge problems in Australia... with our temps n humidity the rolled coat gets no end of skin problems, hot spots, mites, infections you name it they gets it! they also slobber SO much, (I'm sure this is the breeding line they are using ) some people are so dumb hehe
they get pad n in grown hair problems besides Shar pei's have some of the most problems I know of in a breed!
I'm sure they are different in Wales.. some are lovely dogs but some can be very aggressive even from puppies which is very sad...
sorry I love mastiffs in general all your mastiffs are GORGEOUS! I would never personally get a neopolitan and wouldn't recommend them... but thats just me, and thats with the breeders and dogs that I know lol
ok back to Dinky now!!
so have you got that cute halter on yet??

I really havnt tried since to get her halta on..the weather has been so awfull here heavy downpours througout the day constantly over the last few weeks and yet more forcast for this week..as you can imagine its very wet under foot now
..Dinky isnt bothered any more shes used to our welsh weather already bless her..she does love to have a good old roll in the mud first thing and i really dont want to get her pretty pink diamonte headcollar all covered in mud
before i even get it on her properly
..shes really grown up a bit the last few weeks not so crazy as she was so i think I will have another go this week..shes a real girly pony she makes me laugh..I love her tiny lil hooves theyr just like my grandaughters dressing up glass slippers
she totters around in the wet grass slipping n sliding everywhere..boy can she move when she kicks her heals up and she has me cringing when shes heading towards the boundry fence at full pelt
but always manages to turn on a sixpence or come to a sudden halt..I will get some pictures this week no change in colour but I think she looks more grown up..still tiny and still not interested in her food..but nibbles the grass and the hay and is looking fab so not worried about that..Im sure the food bill will increase all in good time
Im so pleased with the way shes turning out..I did wonder if i was being silly breeding a "love child"..instead of using some champion show pony with a fabulous breeding line but she does have her dad's temperament loves her cuddles and brushes even from my grandaughter and I know im bias but i think shes just adorable
shes all I wished for and more and she will be here with her family that love her forever
What beautiful sentiments Lindy, you paint a brilliant picture with your words of a very happy, healthy little girl.
Had to laugh when you said about the Welsh weather - we got absolutely soaked yesterday doing a small move round of a couple of oldies and the yearling fillies, plus getting them wormed (thought we were safe between showers!!
)
I know you dont want to, but I really wouldn't worry about HAVING TO get a headcollar on Dinky, there is plenty of time yet. Does she follow you around when you walk in her paddock? If so then you are halfway there coz once you do put the headcollar on it will be so easy just to get her to follow you along, just like she has always done. When Cathy is up here next I will get her to 'send' me the pics of one of our yearlings who, like all the others, first saw a headcollar at 10 months LOL!!
Cassie, I'm sorry that Mastiffs have so many problems over in Aussieland - they seem to just be big soppy babies here in the UK. And yes, they do slobber - buckets full of the stuff!! My friend used to keep clean towels everywhere in her house and we simply picked them up and wiped at Lulu as she passed, then shoved the towel into the washing machine! She also carefully cleaned her eyes and the folds round her jaws twice daily, so Lulu never had problems with skin folds. Lulu's only other problem was the fact that her water supply had to be changed as soon as she had taken a drink or her bowl filled up with slobber - ugh!! Friend also had two other rescued Mastiffs before Lulu and they were both just as fantastic temperament wise.
Lindy, when the weather takes a break (Wednesday I think?) how about few more pics of the delightful Dinky Doo.........please.

Good Lordy...shes huge compared to Cam!! I think Cam wishes he had all your beautiful grass!! She just darling and is starting to look like her Daddy
She got a real pretty little trot too!! We had our first farrier trim yesterday...basically we needed back feet done the most and of course those were the ones that Cam wanted nobuddy near
Hows she doing w/her halter work? I just love her!!
The pictures are great Lindy - yes she does look like her Daddy. She is also so well in proportion and has a lovely active action.
She's going to be a very pretty little girl (and I dont think she is porky at all!)

I just read Annas post and thought maybe i should clarify....I said she was huge compared to Cam ...I hope you dont think I was calling her porky
chubby maybe
but in a cute way!! And she has on her winter woolies so its a little hard to tell. Im still hoping you'll bring her over for a play date with Cam!!!
