I first became involved in mastiffs about 14 years ago when I lived in
Missouri and had my first encounter with a mastiff. Then, two years
later I had a mastiff breeder as a client and I fell in love with the
breed. I still remember sitting up all night with this breeder and
her bitch waiting for her to whelp. When she did, she had fourteen
puppies and we had to help several of the puppies to get them to
breathe. One of the puppies came out not breathing at all and I
started resuscitation on it and brought it back to life. Needless to
say, I really bonded with that puppy. After a little red ribbon was
placed around his neck, my friend said, "He's yours if you want him",
and boy did I. That was Ranger and since then Ranger has been the
love of my life. I have learned a great deal about mastiffs from that
day on and wanted to share my knowledge of the breed with other
mastiff owners and veterinarians by having a web page with mastiff
medicine articles.

As always, if you are having a problem with your mastiff, consult your veterinarian first for advice and treatment. If you have questions, feel free to contact me, I will try to help.
