SOPHIE

SOPHIE WATCHING PUPPIES CRY ON UTUBE
Lets not leave out Sophie.Without her these great puppies wouldnt be possible
Shes is the best natured of all my dogs.
She minds well and is so sweet i adore her.Shes by my side everyday she is the kind iof mastiff you want
Stranger even comment on what a big and VERY sweet girl she is.
And she is a BIG girl in her own right 165lbs when AI'd at 2 yrs old and 31" at the shoulders,
Shes no tiny slouch for sure!
The puppies are BIG boys 28- 30 lbs when weighed at 10 or 11 weeks
I didnt mention that both parents are nothing but friendly to strangers Jackson thinks hes the DIVA and wants all the attention he can get from newcomers and Sophie is just too sweet for words and greets them nicely at the door.
Last comment about the babies at 12 weeks (yesterday)
All have been placed except one girl LILY who had been promised.. first of all the girls... but the deal fell through a week ago .
Actually her face is the most like her DADS and HE actually looks almost identical to HIS mom so Lily could get that same big head big neck look.
Maybe not as huge as Jacksons but BIG!!
Time will tell.

Jackson



As Jackso naged (5-6 mojnths his looks began to change but he still was a clown always doing something goofey.
He liked to climb off his chair and leave his back legs on it and just stand there !!Guess it felt good!!!

CHILLY MOE JACKSON about 9 weeks


BEGINNINGS.....This photo is baby Jackson who is my Starting guy of my Gravely Hall Mastiff line and what a start he is!!
Adding the OLD Engish into my regular Engish line consisting of Betha and then Sophie who was whelp from Betha and TAnk (my sons apricot mastiff) to help me reach my goal of VERY healthy dogs with great personalities and ultra wonderful looks and in that order.
I began shortly after getting Betha and looking around at Mastiffs more than i had ever done I began to like the looks of the wider head and shorter nose .
Frist puppy towatrd that goal was Sophie Sophie has a shorter nose than Betha or the other pups inher litter so she is the girl i kept from the first litter Betha had.
Jackons nose is even shorter and he has the very wide preferred head and a nothing but huge neck .His head and neck just dont showe inphotos of him as large as they are. In persdon the comments are" WOW His HUGE head and neck Look at him!!!" "Look at that HEAD!!!" "No photos dont do him justice!".
But as a puppy all that didnt really show yet..It took him until about 5 months old before his real potential looks gained momentum and boy did they!
Photo 2....Oh yes he did climb onto that carrier he slept in!!
He thought he was a mountain jack.His favorite placre to sit or doze(about 14 weeks)
