Puppies at 7 weeks old

At 7 weeks old, the pups go for their first swim. Supervision is a must when pups this young are swimming for the first time. Mastiffs do not swim well, so one hand is always under the belly. This is just done, as a socializing thing.... to make them know they can survive anything, and trust us.

It was a hot day and the pups enjoyed cooling off in the little pool

If puppies are going to spend time outdoors during the summer months shade is a MUST!

Although this section is based on a whelping of an English Mastiff, it also contains good general whelping information in large breed dogs. You can find more whelping information in the links above. The links below tell a story about Sassy, an English Mastiff. Sassy has a wonderful temperament. She loves humans and Adores human children. An all around mild mannered, wonderful Mastiff. Sassy however is not the best mother towards her puppies, she is not rejecting them, she will nurse them when a human places them on her to feed, however she will not clean the pups or pay any attention to them. It is as if, they are not her puppies. This litter is getting moms milk, with major human interaction, manually giving each and every pup what they need. In return, the pups will be super socialized and will make remarkable pets, however the work involved is astounding. It takes one dedicated breeder to keep this situation healthy. Thankfully this litter has just that, a dedicated breeder. Read the links below to get the full story. There is a wealth of info that everyone can appreciate and benefit from.
