sorry, not much advice, but just to let you know you are not alone!!! My 7&half month old Mastiff, who I thought had finally grown out of this, bit my husband on the bum last night  (in play, not aggresive) Some do take much longer to outgrow this than others :(
The best thing to do is try to stay calm & not shout, try & wind them down and offer them a suitable alternative (such as dog toy).
Hopefully somebody will have some better advice.

Sounds like a typical Ibizan to me!  As you've probably found out, they're not a breed for the faint hearted ;)

I would change the way you play with him if I were you - no rough and tumble games, you could try and get him toy orientated instead but that might not be easy with this breed.  When he bites, just stop all play and walk away and ignore him.

BTW, what's his breeding?
