Want to find out how to choose your Mastiff puppy?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It all starts with a family discussion on the types and choices of mastiff breeds that are available to you, by considering various photos, reading blogs, books and reviews, and eventually speaking to the breeders, adoption centres or sellers, as the case may be.<\/p>\n

Once you have been smitten away by a mastiff, it is hard to go back on anything else or even drop the idea.<\/p>\n

So you move on to the next step – looking for the pup. You should never rush this step, despite the excitement and eagerness to get one straight away.<\/p>\n

The trick is to speak to as many breeders as you possibly could and attend their shows or actual visitations. This will provide you with an opportunity to educate yourself and your family regarding the dog\u2019s temperament<\/a>, pedigree, health concerns, cleanliness, traits and features.<\/p>\n

Be persistent with your meetings and make sure you get as many appointments as you possibly could to see the pup physically. You will learn a lot about him when you meet him a few times, and that will help you immensely in making a decision.<\/p>\n

A genuine and concerned breeder who cares about the prolonged safety and health of the mastiffs (and particularly their pup), will ask you a lot of personal questions related to your family, circumstances in general and your history of pets etc.<\/p>\n

When the pups are born and start residing in the litter box, it is time to go and visit the breeder and see how the pups are doing.<\/p>\n

You will need to go at least twice to eventually make up your mind after observing as much as possible. That is even more so when you have paid for or reserved one, and are just waiting for the weaning period to get over and done with.<\/p>\n

The first and foremost aspect that you need to observe is whether the pup is affable and outgoing. You do not want to be stuck with a shy and reserved pet which is no fun.<\/p>\n

This may work for some, but for most, it doesn\u2019t. Also check the pup physically for any limitations, rashes or infestations and point it to the attention of the breeder.<\/p>\n

You will also need to request various documentation which we will talk about in a dedicated section below.<\/p>\n
