Yeah they get along great. I just get scared because the Mastiff is like 140 pounds with the energy of a 3year old child after eating a 5pound bag of Sugar. When the Mastiff plays with the Saint Bernard she leaps over top of him and nearly crushes him. But the Saint Bernard seems to do ok and hasn't been hurt yet.

Cool..... Just be sure that if the play starts getting a little too rough where you think the pup might get hurt, for the protection of the pup, step in and offer some other fun just so the pup can get a break. Maybe step in with a ball to play catch, or a tug rope, or whatever the dogs like. Just don't step in and stop all the play, could act as a negative.

good tip thanks lonewolfblue

Not a problem. Rough play is good for them, you just want to make sure it's not too rough for the young pup. And they will learn alot from each other. I think my Nell is finally starting to learn, lol. She came from a farm where there were no rules, so she was thinking that she had free reign, lol. Hopefully her learning will speed up to Betty's level, but I don't think there's too many dogs that can learn that fast, lol. Betty went from barely even knowing Sit and Down to doing the full Rally course in 4 months, both verbal and hand commands. I've never seen a dog learn so fast, she was well ahead of me. She had already learned the whole course when I was still learning myself, lol.

New puppies are so much fun we will be getting our baby on the 19th of Aug., but she is supposed to be around 5lbs when fully grown wright now she is 6 weeks and is only 12 oz. Oh she is a yorkie, i would like to get a bigger dog eventually for my boys to play with outside but I don't know what yet.

congrates on your new puppy he is adorable.

I love how you said outside. I wish I could get my wife to get used to that word outside. She treats the dogs like yorkies yet they weigh like 40 times as much. She also thinks its ok that the dog sits on your lap even when it wieghs more than you do. They are inside dogs and great really for a small house because they are not overly active.

I do not like big dogs to sit on me or the furniture but I also think that it is ok for them to come in to rest and for the night, but big dogs need to play outside just like my three boys.

Ooooh! Puppy breath! Nice sharp milk teeth....your shoes will never be the same! I highly suggest you purchase stock in your dog food company....LOL

Cute little guy....can't wait to see him when he hits that gawky 'teenager' period at about 6-7 months.

Enjoy 'em both
