Hello All!

My name's Franklin, I live near Monterey, CA and I have no pets. I WANT an English Mastiff (puppy).
Just registered today after lurking for a few weeks. I've been searching for an English Mastiff for quite awhile now and my search has been fruitless. I have no idea where on this board to post the following:

8)WANTED: ENGLISH Mastiff
Hello, All!
I'm still searching for an English Mastiff puppy. Preferably fawn or apricot. There are a few rescue organizations and breeders available, but...well... the rescue I was thinking of using doesn't seem to have such a great rep and the breeders I've contacted want a WOW amount of cash. So... If you have an English Mastiff puppy that you want to just give away for FREE...I'm your man. If you have a pup for sale, we can talk prices. Thanks very much!

I've got an ad or 2 on Craigslist, but its not helping too much.

Am I the only member without a dog, btw? Perhaps one of you lovely folks can help me remedy the situation.

I'm thinking of going through Gentle Giants Rescue of Norco (I've read the opinions/warnings)
Puppyfind (I'm a lil suspicious of them)

<sigh> $:-\$ ......

My apologies if I've broken a taboo or two. Still... dog or not, I'll be sticking around just for the company and the cute pics of ALL the pets.

Take care, all
-Franklin

Have you considered using Petfinder?

I found some Bull Mastiff puppies (I know you were looking for an OEM.
They aren't in CA but transports can always be arranged

Austin,TX 5122437091 Luis Cortez lgcortez13@aol.com 02-15-2006
Name: Biscuit
Age:8mth
Sex:M
Size:XL
Delete Biscuit is a great dog, he is energetic, great with my son but needs a great deal of attention. Working full time and school doesnt allow much time for association. He is a pure bread unregistered Bull Mastiff and I am asking $200 as an adoption fee for him to make sure serious families or individuals apply. He is a great guard dog, and companion and is very sweet. He needs a loving and attentive home. Please only serious inquires.

My advice is to keep an open mind (and heart). I had my sights on a Great Pyrenees, but lo and behold I found Einstein (South Russian Ovcharka), and he's the best!

When the human is ready, the puppy will appear.

Hello and welcome!

Sorry to hear you are having a hard time finding your OEM. I know there are a few on here, maybe they can point you in the right direction? I know I had alot of trouble as well when I was looking for my dane. Keep your chin up, you'll find your perfect dog.

Dont' know if you've checked out petfinder yet, but here's a few that I found you may be interested in. It does not say what kind of mastiff they are, but here you go:
