We are considering rescuing a mastiff. Can anyone advise. Tim & Elaine 01922 710916. swampys@gn.apc.org.

Talk to breed rescue they will tell you any and every thing there is to know, i take it you are getting one from breed rescue??? lots of luck

I tried to e-mail you, but won't send? Is your mail address correct?
Edit - it has sent now.

Think about the health problems.
They are not the healthiest of pets. My girl has OCD (from 5mths old) & Arthritis in the Elbows ( really bad) from 3yrs old. She can't have too much excercise. She is on meds for life. She is only 3yrs 2mths old.
She is already thought of as a middle aged dog. Do you want to lose a pet so young?
If you really want a Mastiff, they are loving beautiful pets, buy a puppy from a reputable breeder. You may then have your pup for an acceptable number of years.
They are not a long lived breed.
