Jeg er interessert — hva bør jeg vite?
Gjør deg klar for en Engelsk Mastiff.
Stille, kjærlig og nesten umulig stor. En Mastiff kan kreve lite fart, men krever plass, penger og kompetent håndtering.
Alt under kommer fra denne rasens egne egenskaper i biblioteket vårt — hva den vil be deg om uke etter uke, inkludert det folk skulle ønske de visste på forhånd.
Det denne hunden vil be deg om
Ærlig talt, uke etter uke.
Activity
Around an hour a day
Many dogs of this type settle far better in the house when the walking is regular rather than occasional. Build any distance up slowly, especially with a young or older dog.
Training
Learns steadily
Independent thinkers aren't being difficult — they simply need a better reason. Keep sessions short and worth their while.
Food
A large daily amount
Weigh meals rather than guessing, and count treats as food. My Dog can work out a starting portion once you know their weight.
Grooming
Very little upkeep
Easy-going coats still need nails, ears and teeth looking after — that part is the same for every dog.
Shedding
Sheds moderately
Lower-shedding breeds are sometimes easier for people with allergies, but no dog is completely allergy-free and reactions vary from person to person.
Dental
Part of the weekly routine
Brushing a few times a week, started early, saves a great deal of money and discomfort later on.
Weight
Easy to overfeed
You should be able to feel the ribs easily without pressing. Weight creeps on slowly — a monthly note in My Dog catches it early.
Mental stimulation
A little variety is plenty
A sniffy walk, a chew and a bit of training is usually enough to keep this kind of dog settled.
Home
Happier with more space and daily outdoor time
What matters most is the walking near your door and the hours you keep, not the number of rooms.
Time alone
Prefers company most of the day
There's no single maximum that fits every dog. Age, training and temperament all change the answer — and being alone is a skill you teach gradually.
Social life
Friendly once introduced
Early, calm, positive introductions to people, dogs, traffic and handling shape this more than the breed does.
Health to read up on
Typically lives 6–10 years
Every breed has conditions that appear more often than average. Ask a breeder which tests they do and why, or ask a rescue what's known. Your vet is the right person for anything specific.
Pengene
Hva en Engelsk Mastiff pleier å koste
€2,300–€4,000
Per år, når hunden har slått seg til — mat, forsikring, rutinemessig veterinærbesøk og stell. Bevisst bredt: prisene varierer enormt fra land til land og by til by, og dette er ikke et tilbud.
