I have a question about your t-shirts. Did you collaborate with Dean russo or asked permission to use his artwork on them? I would love to buy some of the shirts because i love his artstyle but only if i´m sure he is in on this. I ask because i didn´t saw his name mentioned in the description
Oh wow, I wish I'd waited for a few more weeks to place my order. The yellow one would have been awesome for my crew!
That’s… a pony
@@Moony_2620 dog is so huge that it is size of Pony
@@Moony_2620 it's a joke. People would call big dogs, horses, because of their size. They do the same with Great Danes.
What kind of nightmarish ponies did you grow up with?!?
@@Moony_2620 Yeah its a joke, its a over exaggeration
No that's a Volkswagen Beetle 😆😆
“…they were bred to be ferocious war dogs”. Winston: *Today, I’m a walrus*
His breath smells like fish so I’d say yes, he is a walrus everyday
beast walrus though
This comment 🏆 wins lol 😂
But I won't show my teeth.
Omg yes 😂😂
my landlord growing up had an elderly mastiff named Zeus, he had this beautiful dark red coat instead of the usual tan and was the biggest sweetheart. He had no energy and had a twin mattress in the living room for a dog bed, the most energy he would use was to head butt your hip to pet him, or slightly pouncing to scare away birds before laying down again. They had a toddler and while they did yard work the dog would just sit next to the toddler the entire time happily smiling and drooling. He passed away around the age of 12 which is pretty old for these big guys, had a long happy lazy life
Omg I hope for that long life for Winston so our toddler can grow up with him!
12 is ancient for a mastiff big guy lived a good life.
I guarantee you that, if anybody the Dog did not know well, approached the toddler while the dog was alone with it, he would not be so lazy or happy anymore. and NOBODY in their right mind would approach a massive Mastiff that growls like a super car.....
@@mozxz this might be true!! I definitely don’t want to test it.
@@mozxz In most cases yes but Zeus has never bitten someone since he was a puppy, and couldn’t run whatsoever so even if he did lunge he couldn’t and the toddler was much faster lol. He got attacked by a neighbor dog that was known to be aggressive from trauma problems, he barely fought back at all and just tried to walk and push the dog away but never bit the attacking dog. He had a lot of scars on his legs and sides but luckily healed well
When I met my husband, I also had to meet his English mastiff, Dookie. He’s such a sweetheart, didn’t even bark at me when we met, just rolled over for me to pet his belly. What a sweet breed 🥰
Dookie is a slang for 💩. Why would he name his dog that 😆
@@User_92020lmao my dog is duke but we call him Dukey. My bf isn’t from here so he didn’t know that meant poop so he told the guy at the McDonald’s drive thru that his name was dukey and the dude just looked at us and goes “what an interesting name” 😂😂😂 I still make fun of him for it
They also tend to suffer from the delusion they are the size of a Jack Russell Terrier and fit in your lap
@@User_92020 Because a dog that big makes a lot of it.
Sounds just like what Winston would do!!!
"They were bred to be ferocious war dogs" Meanwhile Winston: *Is falling asleep like a big old potato*
I'd always heard that Mastiffs were bred not for attacking but for tackling and pinning intruders/trespassers so they could be properly apprehended by guards(which, after having one try to insist that she was a lapdog to me, I can attest to the efficacy of a mastiff sitting on people as a method of immobilization)
I got the vibe of the I like turtles 🐢 kid
Yeah, they knock and hold.
I wonder when we had lions in England.
@@laurastuart3814 😂😂
Even more concerning than the Bite-force is that the Mastif has a Drool-force of over 9000 DPM (Drools Per Minute), making it the Slobberiest of SlobberDogs.
😂
Over 9000?!!!! 😂
I thought Newfoundland dogs have 10000+ DPM
I noticed that. I was about to say it was the perfect dog for me but that's slobber I don't know if I can deal with all that
But he's SO CUTE!😍
The more gigantic the dog the more goofy and gentle. Winston looks like he didn't have a care in the world.. on a side note never knew a short haired dog could have that much shedding
We had an English Lab/Mastiff mix (a Mastador), and we now have a Belgian Malinois mix. Both shed more than my Border Collie/English Springer Spaniel/Shetland Sheepdog mix.
Yes. Very logical as well. There simply is no need for fear at that size. A small dog fears everything at the smallest thing, so they tend to bark all the time.
You would be staggered at how much a pug sheds. Stuff a pillow daily. Nearly.
@@rebel4466 Not always true..yorkies are small , but often quite fearless. My 4lbr would have tried to take on a bear for me ..loyal and fierce, but tiny.
We had 3 English Mastiff at one time,there was over 600lbs of dogs in our house. And yes,they all slept with us in our king size bed. Unfortunately we only have their daughter now, Pippy, who is a little over 200lbs.
When my cousins were little they lived on a little dead end street. One of their neighbors had a big ole mastiff like Winston. When they first moved in, my uncle had met the man who owned the dog who told him all about the dog. One of the most memorable parts of that description was the fact that the mastiff had chewed through some electrical wiring when it was a puppy so he was a little off and clearly had some nerve damage. The man assured my uncle that the dog was perfectly docile and well behaved. Said that he was the neighborhood babysitter when the kids were out playing in the street. My uncle was wary about a 200 lbs dog with a few deep fried brain cells though. So my cousins were out playing with the kids in the street. One was riding a big wheel tricycle. She started to go off a little too far down the street and my uncle started to holler at her to turn around and come back when he noticed the mastiff get up off the porch and take off running after my cousin. My uncle panicked as he watched this dog run after his child. The dog catches up to her quickly... runs up and grabs on to the front tire of her tricycle to stop her. Then starts dragging her back down to the dead end part of the road with the rest of the kids. My uncle nearly had a heart attack. My cousin almost peed herself laughing.
"They were bred to be ferocious war dogs" Winston : that's what we tell everyone so they leave us alone to catch some rest
Honestly, it is such a pump fake 😅. Like we got a guard dog who would rather sleep than even let out a bark when the mail comes. Not to mention, he is scared of every little thing 😅. But he is perfect for us 😂
Winston: I may have been bred for war, a war against naps
Sólo es un perro deforme y amorfo, que a duras penas consigue mantenerse vivo. Mi abuelo con 94 años, tenía muchas menos dificultades para mantenerse vivo que este perro con 2 años.
@@redpanda9860 staying awake is quite the task for him and me both 😂

Let's just take a minute to appreciate how absolutely well behaved and how georgous this big bear is.
Thank you! He is the goodest boi!
@@theemanfamily He is very well behaved and was a very good boi :)
With a dog that size, you're ABSOLUTELY SCREWED if they're not well behaved...
i was thinking the exact same thing ... the owners did a fabulous job training and socializing this big guy ... he is brilliant
Yep. I have an english mastiff as well about 220 pounds and almost 4 years old. He is on the leaner side (we want him to live longer). Sleeps on the bed like a little dog somehow.
I had an English mastiff named Hagrid when I was little. He was such a good boy, and this video makes me miss him even more than I already do! 😭
Perfect name.
@@verified_tinker1818 was just thinking the same thing
BLIMEY!
Aunt had a one. He was 200 lbs too. His name was Bruttis. He once blasted through a garage door (the one the cars go through) during 4th July. Ran up to a firework like a roman candle and started running around with it going off in his mouth. Miss big boy, loved visiting just because of him
What a story.
He was actually 140lb not 200lb. Keep it real 💯
feels like every dog always has their own wild tale at least once in their life. Bruttis sounds fun lol
@@maplemaple1439 he was. He terrified people until they realized he was a giant slobbering lap dog 😆.
@@User_92020 no he was close to 200 lbs.
Her: "These dogs were bred to be ferocious" Winston: "Imma have to pass on standing"
Also Her: But in reality they are gentle lovable and kind minature horses.
🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha
The mastiffs I've met were big babies.
Respectfully, as Winston's mom, I died at this comment . He is horizontal at all hours of the day. 😅
“They were bred to be ferocious war dogs” Winston: Oh yes, more brushing
Amazing Comment
He looks like such a dignified gentlemen, Winston is a fine name for him indeed.
more brushing, less protection!
To be fair, ferocious warriors are usually fans of being brushed and pampered.
I remember seeing a 220 pound mastiff being led by a 110 pound girl. I told her that if he wanted to, he could fly her like a kite. He'd be able to drag me if he wanted to and i'm 225. Love mastiffs, they're usually sweethearts and most of the ones i've seen are giant couch potatoes just like Great Danes.
English Mastiffs may look like monsters but actually have hearts of gold
"They were bred to be ferocious war dogs" Winston: "I'll wake up when this is over"
😂😂😂😂 honestly. But also I don’t think he wanted the groom to end, he could’ve laid there for days
Winston be like- "What war are we fighting? Bathe me hooman."😂
She said they were bred to fight lions. Since when England had lions? She has very American geography skills.
@@ltr1745 Do you think that just because they were bred in England means that their owners just kept them in England? Or that they couldn't import lions from Africa, which England once controlled large chunks of as a part of the British Empire.
Her: ‘I gonna need you to stand up’ Winston: ‘I shall lie in the garden, I shall lie on the couch, on the bed, in the shower and in front of the door. I shall never surrender to standing! I will sleep on to the end, whatever the cost may be.’
Sounds like me and Winston were meant for each other.
Awesome.
I see what you did there
Winston is my spirit animal!
Haha underrated comment here
"I let him lay down for the remainder of the groom ". Um, no. He sat his ass down and that was pretty much the end of the discussion. What an awesome dog.
That last photo comparing his head to yours was mind boggling. HUGE dogs!
Ya gotta see one in person at least once in your life.
The equigroomer like: Could it be, you are finally using me on an EQUINE?
🤣🤣🤣
good one
I am sorry, i didn't get this joke 🥲
@@PS-ug7nm equine is another term for horse. B/c he's a lil horse.
@@PS-ug7nm equine means related to the horse family (comes from the Latin word for horse equus) and is referencing to the fact the dog is so big it’s a horse
A mastiff only moves when necessary. I love how your whole hand fits into his ear xD
This is why Winston never moves, it’s never necessary to him.
Mastiffs are incredibly smart. And they are well aware that the more tired they look the more you will spoil them ❤
Haha
Usually not necessary. If you get a mastiff, strengthen that core of yours and get a crane.
The saying goes, only walk a mastiff as far as you can carry him LOL when they decide to stop walking….. well, you’d better have someone to pick you up 🤣
the shedding fur part is so satisfying to watch, the dog must been enjoying every second of it
My old mastiff topped out at 245. Best dog ever.
That is one large unit!!!!
That’s a tank.
I loved how you stopped and allowed him to sniff the nail clipper, and then once he was assured it wasn't a dangerous equipment, he licked it to give you the approval to continue. A very wholesome grooming video. Winston is such a teddy bear. 💕💕
that dog is her fuck toy. should report to the police for animal abuse.

That reminds me of a big ol tractor :)
lolol naww 🥰
He does this also! And half the time he will pull a muscle and be sore for a few days :(
As a small child, had my best memories with a female Nastiff, in the late 50's called à Burmese. We played for hours, and She was quite old! Patient and persistent! Love these!

U just do

@@mistermysteryman107 well then this dog isn't for you.
@@itzrihanna2011 exactly! There are so many different breeds to choose from... don't hate on this one
the owners have done an incredible job of training him. So calm and well mannered. He is huge but such a softy.
You can train obedience, but not a nature... This dog was partialy tought to be chilled, but mostly he simply is.
Most Mastiffs go to Obedient school at a young age.
He's well mannered be aise he can't stand without panting. Animal abuse to keep a dog like that so overweight
@@gsd_mutt What do you mean so overweight, a lot of big breeds pant when standing for a while, just look at her other videos on massive dogs
I just lost my English Mastiff to cancer after 11 years a couple weeks ago. He had the same Big, stubborn but sweet and gentle personality. He was 197lbs when he passed away, about 250lbs in his prime. He was a truly amazing friend.
A giant like that, must've left even a bigger hole in your heart when he left. I wish you the best healing process possible.
@@andrewofaiur Thanks Andrew, I appreciate your kind words. He certainly left a big hole in my life.
RIP
You were lucky to have a friend like that. I imagine you feel very blessed. I understand how it feels losing that sort of friend. I wish I could say something that would help the way it feels. I hope you have a blessed day.
I'm so very sorry for your loss. I hope the pain goes away quickly and you can look back on the memories and smile. :)
What a giant boy with a giant soft heart ❤️
I grew up with an English Mastiff named Charlie. She was a sweetheart and besties with my best friend's Bull Mastiff Zeke, who was a big slobbery goodball. She would sit my lap like she was still a puppy and I could never bring myself to move her even when I couldn't feel my legs 💕
I’m surprised your legs weren’t broken. 😊
dog groomer : "I'm gonna need you to get up because I can't move you" Mastiff: "No. I don't think I will."
Points finger. I understood that reference.
For some reason I did read that with Penn Jillette's voice and it made perfect sense
Winston's head is like twice the size of Vanessa's what a gorgeous dog and wonderful ambassador for his breed so cute ❤️🐶
Even Vanessa's hands are so tiny compared to his ears.
The pic of my Winnie and Vanessa is my favourite! Thank you so much for your nice words, we are very lucky to have a sweet gentle giant.
@@theemanfamily He’s a wonderful lad!
@@theemanfamily fidfidididddiuurmr
@@rwboa22 while she was cleaning his ears, I figured her hands were small enough to get inside his ear canal. Winston is HUGE.
Absolutely beautiful. Look at his face, it's adorable.
“This is outrageous!” But you can tell he feels so good getting all that extra hair off him!! Thanks for sharing this sweet beast!
English Mastiffs are hilarious. I met some one day at the dog day of a local flower festival. They both had custom collars that had space for their personal face towels because they drooled so much. I was allowed to pet them and they both just immedaitely tried to sit on my feet for best head scratch placement.
Bahahahhaa sounds about right! We just have to get a custom collar in general because there’s no standard sized collars that go around his neck 😜
Several years ago, my mother and I used to walk on a trail that goes past some houses. The houses have gates in their fences that allow access to the trail. One day as we were on this stretch of the trail, a woman with two full-grown Mastiffs was coming through one of the gates. My mom asked if we could pet them, and as soon as the woman said yes, the dogs started bouncing all over the place. One of them actually got away from its handler, but thankfully appeared to be more interested in trying to get back in the house than in running away.
Awesome dogs from my experience around them (responsible owners imo) but gotta say they are a breed to be respected due to sheer size and weight. One of the Mastiffs i saw was from an experienced breeder and i gotta say when he was standing with his paws on me his head easily reached me and i'm 1,75m not to mention he had almost as much torso width as the average man, but docile and gentle as he could be .
@@Killerjack007 Yep. They are extremely gentle generally based on my experience. I have fond memories of petting them at dog shows (when I wasn’t petting bullmastiffs which are related to English mastiffs) and they are notorious for their love of lap sitting. They really think they are lap dogs despite being so big.
@@theemanfamily I met an English mastiff female who was only like 18 months and I think the owner said she weighed around 180 lbs. I asked him ‘so what happens when she doesn’t want to do something?’ And the owner sheepishly replied ‘uh, we don’t do it’. 😂
My family had two English mastiffs. One was, coincidentally, also named Winston. He was so sweet, he never wanted to leave your lap, and he always made sure guests left with the gift of his slobber. He died at thirteen due to hip and joint troubles, so it was wonderful to see Winston again, even if he wasn’t my Winston. Thank you so much! These are some of the best dogs you could ever wish for.
Thirteen seems like an impressive age for such a large dog. It's never long enough though...♥️
@@ericplunder2744 no, it really isn’t enough. Even if ya keep them healthy enough to live long past their expectancy, you always wish for one more year
ME TOO! If the other one was a bitch called "Woofer" then you just might be my dad!
Curious. Did your Winston also weigh 200 pounds? O.o
@@AsianShadowrunner I have no idea. He was big and I could ride him like horse when I was little. That's all I remember.
The love and care you show these animals is AMAZING! You are an inspiration to many in the pet grooming industry!
He is adorable. Just cuddly. ❤
I love how no dog understands why this is done to him but loves it anyways
I was thinking that too! XD
I was just telling my groomer this morning this story!! A few years ago, about 2 in the morning, I was driving in a subdivision and I saw a huge dog in the middle of the road and cars were driving around it. I stopped infront of it. I opened my door to get out, and a giant Mastiff climed right into my back seat!! (it was a 2 door car) She was so lost and so sweet!! I went to a gas station to get her some water and to call our towns little shelter. I had to wait awhile for him to come and get her. Oh the big tongue kisses LOL! He was going to put her in the back in a cage, and I said, do you realky have to do that? She's so sweet! You don't have far to drive! So he put her up front with him! I went in the next day and her owner called and was coming to get her! I was so happy!
She was like, "Oh, you must be my Uber. Thanks, man!"
This is the best story ever!!! I always wondered if anyone would help Winston if he ever got out or if everyone would run away. so sweet of you to help the sweet giant. Winston actually got out a few months ago by accident and he went up to our neighbour and just followed him back to our front door. Startled the neighbour because he snuck up on them (he’s so quiet for a giant, also doesn’t bark) but they had a good laugh as they brought him back home. I watched the security cameras after and saw him just standing in the middle of the street wondering what he should do next 😅
@@theemanfamily Winston is a gorgeous boy! I love all dogs and have done this for many! 3 that have come into my yard lost, that have been neighbors dogs that have gotten out and I just hold on to so they don't get any more lost. They always get picked up!
Such a beautiful video and so educational! Really cool hearing about your own personal background with this breed as well. Loved it
Lol u made my day a little bit brighter with how loving n caring u treated him I know mastiffs can be trained to be mean like pits I raised n breed them for ten yrs they are like Winston when treated right 👍
the fact that Winston still sheds even after you put the dog cologne, your reaction was priceless!! 😂
Never ending omg imagine living with it
I felt the “JESUS!” whisper exclamation in my soul lmao
@@theemanfamily My dog is half mastiff and let me tell you the brushing is never ending and I have to sweep multiple times a day. I don't know how how has any fur left T-T
@@theemanfamily nah, the drool encompasses the shedding... you should see my walls 😅🤣 And the equigroomer is a life saving
That's so weird, I didn't know Mastiff's were a kind of German Shedder.
In my personal experience, it's always the bigger dogs that end up being the sweetest and most loving. I think it's because they don't have to worry about other dogs or animals trying to beat up on them. They can just relax and enjoy life without any insecurities.
I have noticed this too! Maybe it's also because by being so big, they're not treated like infants and proper boundaries and rules are in place. My aunt had a small dog, a mix, and she was so agressive and yappy, and my aunt never, ever corrected that behaviour, choosing to take her in her arms if she tried to bite someone, which she usually did 😆
I also think they are aware of their size and don’t want others to be afraid of them. My neighbor’s dog is HUGE but he always lies down when kids are around so that the kids aren’t scared to approach and love on him.
@@Felineintuition lol your Aunts dog is probably thinking, yay if I bite people I get hugs and cuddles as a reward!!!
agreed, but it could also be due to the fact that the bigger breeds need more training so that they can be socialized early. maybe? I could be wrong, I own a 15lb pup lmao

A properly trained and socialized mastiff is a gentle giant. Heck, it seems that larger the dog, the gentler they are most of the time. And the same holds true in reverse, smaller the dog, the more aggressive it tends to be, often overcompensating for it's size.
@@JonVonBasslake oh yes proper Care plus training is a must 😮👏
@@JonVonBasslake So true, especially for yorkies and chihuahuas 🙄
@@JonVonBasslake Most of the small breeds are terrier breeds. Terriers have very strong prey drives and it tends to take a lot of training to get them not to chase and attack other animals. Some of that can be dealt with by good breeding but there isn't a lot of good breeding going on. A lot of people who don't know dogs think that small dogs are the best choice for someone without much knowledge of dogs or time to deal with training one. That leads to badly behaved small dogs.
He is 200 pounds, his human sister is 20. Guess who the real bully is between the two.... :D
He’s actually the sweetest boy, i’ve never seen a dog this relaxed while being groomed! Such a good boy!
He is an unbothered king! He gets groomed once a month so he think it’s a nice little treat, as he should.
You can do whatever you want with this dog ❤
We had a brindle Bull Mastiff/Rottweiler mix, he was 165lbs and such a gentle giant sweetheart! He lived to be almost 11, I still miss him to this day
My godparents had a French Mastiff named Blue, who was the sweetest and most laid back pony you ever met. You would never imagine he had a side anything other than happy-go-lucky drool machine except for one time only my godmother was being threatened by a would-be burglar. Blue growled a growl none of us had ever heard before. That was enough to make the person consider better life choices. Blue was the best boy.
most bigger breeds are like that, someone tries to hurt their family and watch the nasty side come out of them. I had the same thing with a male Boxer, a big drool lazy machine but if someone came close to me that he didnt like God help them.
RIP Blue
you're my boy blue!
Most mastiff breeds are really chill sorts who only break out the beast within when it's absolutely warranted. Otherwise, they're huge, adorable goofballs that colonise your furniture and water your floors with drool.
Fly is showing some sass. And Winston is a ‘can’t be bothered’ type of dog.
He's got other things to worry about like when his next meal is and when he will get to take a nap.
Those "too big to care" dogs are my favorite! EDIT: And seriously, Emans... you better give that dog's head a real, REAL good smush.
You are very good groomer with all breeds. I love that brush you where brushing out Winston.
So beautiful!!! Just wanna give her all the hugs I can ❤

Thank you so much for stressing a human's responsibilities when they consider adopting a member of this amazing breed.
My husband and I were first-time dog owners when we decided to get Winston. The financial responsibilities and just the liability of having a really huge dog can be a lot for most people, Winston is worth every penny and every effort we have put. His temperament made it very easy for us to train him also, thank goodness the breeder chose him for us!
@@theemanfamily Bless you for making Winston a part of your family! He looks "chill" while being groomed, doesn't he? That tells me that his "day at the spa" with Vanessa is not only something that you wanted for his general welfare, but that you value his handsome looks and you love him very much.😍
@@carriemae6584 oh absolutely! We like to get him groomed because I could never handle those giant claws and all the shedding. It’s worth every penny. Doesn’t help with the wrinkles much, he’ll need Botox for that and braces for his teeth! 😂 Otherwise, he really is a handsome fella!
I like how the video takes part in different areas of the shop as if Winston said, "I'm going over here and you may groom me there".
i can assure you that most probably happened my Boerboel listens when she wants to and when she makes a decision no changing it
@@dewetjoubert8921 lol. I have had a few of those in my lifetime, so I know exactly what you mean!
0 fluffs given. I love mastiffs ❤
The drooooools omg 😂😅 he is so sweet and well behaved 😍
Winston is a MASSIVE Mastiff who looks like he has a gentle soul. What a majestic creature. He's too cute!
My Rottweilers have the same personality as Winston though they aren’t quite as large. I absolutely love big teddy bear dogs.
He is so cute.
Looks like the ex missus
Winston is gorgeous. I love his calm temperament too. He's a gentle giant.
Thank you! He really is very gentle. You should see him take a treat from our 1 year old. The gentlest big boi!
@@theemanfamily You have a beautiful horse! Will you please smush his giant head for me? If so, it would be this first smush I've delivered hundreds of miles away, and vicariously through others.
I love him ❤
Yeah, I can tell how aggressive he is by how he stands there while you wash and comb him. :-) What a big softie though I have no doubt he'd defend his people when necessary. Good dog!
As a kid our neighbors had a Mastiff. His name was Morgan. He was the neighborhood favorite with all the kids. Thanks for sharing Winston with us.
Good welsh name.
Morgan; my much missed Rough Collie.
I think he enjoyed when she brushed his face. Adorable
I knw he was loving it, when she swiped down between his eyes I was like aww he loves it lol
It melted my heart!
How majestic Winston is & soooo gorgeous 🥰🐾🥰
The drool. There’s no way I could deal with that.
My favourite breed I have ever owned, and I am a massive dog lover. They obviously can be very large, 36" tall at the shoulders and over 200 lbs in some cases. They are very low energy and only need a short walk each day. In fact, it is important NOT to overwalk them as it can encourage joint problems, something the breed is already prone to. Also, they should not be walked until at least six months of age. They don't eat near as much as you would imagine, probably due to a slower metabolism, but they do need to be fed from an elevated food and water bowl to help prevent bloat (the stomach twisting itself into two separate pieces, like a water balloon). They do in fact drool quite a bit, but particularly after drinking. They can be expensive when it comes to veterinary treatment. Personality wife they are nicknamed "gentle giants" and I found this to be very true. They want to be near or on you almost all the time, and they will hurt you by accident. Stepping on your feet, bashing you with their head, and for men out there keep an eye on that baseball bat of a tail when they are wagging it, it tends to be at a very "painful" level. They very rarely bark, are known to almost never bite except in extreme circumstances and while they are excellent protectors are rarely aggressive. They are pretty much just huge, loving, cuddle bugs. They tend to be very stubborn and training them can take a bit more patience than with other breeds. They simply need consistent training and a little more time but they get it eventually. You must be gentle in your training, however. They are very sensitive and even raising your voice can upset them, and certainly NEVER be physically aggressive with them during training. A scared dog can easily become a violent dog, and given that they have a bite force very nearly equal to that of a lion (about 700 psi) and with some members of the breed able to pull a couple TONS on a sled, you don't want this breed to become aggressive. It is VERY important to socialize them as puppies with other animals and people. This reduces the potential for aggressive behaviour as they become adults. Overall they are a little higher on the maintenance side, have a lower life expectancy than most breeds (about ten years), but are one of the most loving, loyal and endearing breeds out there in my opinion.
I own a mastiff and people need to understand how expensive these giant breeds are to own. You’ll buy the largest quantity of flea/tick and heart worm medicine and then double it, because these doggoes take two doses. Buy expensive dog food (and a lot of it) because they cannot be overweight or it plays havoc on their joints. But if you can afford it, an English Mastiff will be the best dog you’ll ever own.
@Tricycle TringTring Wikipedia.
Most of what you said she already stated in the video so...
Great info on this breed. We fostered a mastiff which was a good way to get a sense of the breed. They drool a lot, so much drool. It wasn't the right breed match for us but we were glad to give a displaced dog a place to stay until she found her forever home.
Thank you for all this info on the breed! This 'ere Winston is glorious, and I'd really love to share a few years of my life with an English Mastiff... Who knows, maybe one day I will (glad they don't need much exercise - neither do I!)
If only every dog was so chill to wash and groom like WInston (man, his head is so huge 😲)
His head is humungous🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you and Thank you for What you Do I just Love Watching you Great Vids, I Need you to Never Stop Bring Such Great Constant to the World . God Bless Uncle Ben
As someone who has bathed many a Pyrenees, I recognize the old "I'm just going to sit my giant butt in this soapy water and not let you rinse me" move. Classic lol
My rescue is part Pyrenees. He's a big boy. 🤣
Ya they are a huge dog as well Pyrenees
Bathed my Mothers Mastiff, she would jsut decide to lay down and then refused to move. It was fun...
I had a little Shih Tzu who was a certified therapy dog. I went to a conference once, expecting all kinds of smaller dogs. Imagine my surprise when I met one of these big boys passed out on his blanket. He was a therapy dog, too. What a great ambassador for his breed he was, just like Winston. ❤️🇨🇦
That is amazing! I want Winston to become a therapy dog, not quite sure how to get started.
@@theemanfamily Fantastic! I am in Canada, so I had him certified through The St John Ambulance Pet Therapy Program. They are angels on earth. Hope you find somewhere to get him certified. ❤️🇨🇦
Wow! Great to see a awesome dog groomer at work. Stupendous dog. Huge beast x
Whopping Winston !! at my age I just couldn’t get him washed and brushed, but it sure was fun watching you do such a beautiful job on such a nice dog.
Used to have a delivery route where one house had 3 of these guys. Delivered dog food to them all the time. All of them were super friendly and all with their own personalities. One loved being petted, one just wanted to play, and the last one was very talkative. They also loved chasing my truck too. They lived on a corner lot and on a street I was on often.
Three! They must have cost a bomb to feed!
@@moonloversheila8238 I probably delivered 3 bags of dog food weekly or bi-weekly. It's been a awhile now since I had that route.
Holy cow! Three!!!
Sounds like a FedEx Ground route!
One was talkative??? What did he say?
He's adorable! His food bill must be a killer lol
Definitely the kind of dog where you benefit from having a membership at a warehouse store. XD
what do you mean food bill? just releze him in a forest for an houer or 2 and he comesback with a deer XD
We cook and freeze meals for ours. I reckon it cost probably around 25 dollars a week to feed a puppy and about 40 or so to feed an adult. Of course, we have almost no leftovers from any family meals (family of 5).
That's a full-size dude pooping in your yard at least once a day. Food bill nothing, that's a lot to clean up!
@@BluSTi I'd be teaching him to use the toilet lol
“Bred to be ferocious war dogs” Winston: *laying in the shower enjoying his bath not caring about anything*
Aw he's such a sweetie!!
I had an English Mastiff that outweighed him by almost 50lbs. He belonged to my in-laws. Sweetest boy ever. Very protective of children.
that's what i was thinking he's a smaller English mastiff
When I was a toddler we had 2 mastiffs, one english mastiff and one bull mastiff, they were so much fun to be around and the bull mastiff used to get up while I was cuddling him and walk around while I clung to his back like a confused barnacle lol they're so calm and nonchelant about everything.
I always hope my toddler will remember Winston when she's older like you do! I hope he also lives long enough so they can grow up together. I always say it is quite special that our little girl gets to grow up with a giant dog in her house--not a lot of babies get to experience that! It is extremely special.
haha! I used to get unexpected rides from my dad's Dane that way.
Confused barnacle! 🤣🤣🤣
@@theemanfamily Yes I so agree! The female used to grab my sister and I by our clothes and carry us back to mom when she thought we were getting up to no good or in danger lol I remember them so fondly! It's also the first loss you go through, as large breeds don't live that long, so by the time I was in first grade both were over the rainbow bridge. They were truly the most incredible nurse-dogs and so lovely growing up with them!
@@mikacakes must have been so hard for you to experience that. I lost my first dog at 8 years old, he didn’t live long. Died at 2 years old, I still talk about him a lot. He was the exact same temperament as Winston, but in Lab/GSD form. 🥹 so glad to hear that mastiffs make the best nurse-dogs!
Thanks for sharing. I had a mastiff mix. He was the sweetest dog ever.
I’m so happy your channel exists.
The slobber makes him a no for me. That said he was so well behaved and absolutely handsome. I love it when you show the big boys!
When I was little I always thought they were called "English Massives"... technically I wasn't wrong.
Now you got me curious where the word comes from. Apparently it's from old french mastin, from vulgar latin manseuetinus meaning "tamed (animal)".
I've always thought that terrier is just a mispronounciation of terror, but they are still lovable little terrors.
Technically correct.
I honestly thought mastiff meant massive in some other language 😅 so you were a little genius clearly
Love that guy he awesome! The de-shedding part was so satisfying
"...so I *let* him lay down..."
