motv8tr Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 Hey all, as some of you know I said goodbye to my boy Skylar a month ago, I figured it would be a while before the dog of my dreams became available...or I would have to go to the US to find him....well....long story short I was sent an e-mail 1 1/2 weeks ago from Canadian Mastiff Rescue directing me to their new facebook page. The next day a picture of my dream dog was posted...he needed a new home.....today I took a road trip to Sudbury and brought this 11 month old puppy, who weighs in at 133lbs. Sasha did much better than I thought she would, but she is not amused and will take a few days to adjust and accept him. He thinks the cats are fun to chase, but that was stopped before he got started....he's never seen one before and they won't let him get very close Here he is,,,not sure what I will name him, it's a toss up between Calvin and Brody...his name was Rudy Maureen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motion Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 (edited) Congrats on the new pup Maureen! He looks amazing. Hope your other dog accepts him quicker than my little guy did. Brody get my vote on a name. Edited December 1, 2011 by motion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beans Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Cripes !!!...Looks like he could eat more than Uncle Dave...Big Cliff...and me put together... I hope he doesn't grow this big... Glad for you that you got the dog of your dreams...Maybe get him a saddle or a cart for Christmas... Be careful he doesn't have a cat for a snack...

ricoboxing Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 nice dog. Why not leave his name as rudy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miracon Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Congrats Maureen! He is lucky to have found a great family! I also like Rudy too. Is it that maybe you would prefer not to refer him to his previous owners so want a new name? If so, I agree with everyone else, Brody suits him more the Calvin. Enjoy him!

vance Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Great looking dog!!! He so looks like a RUDY I wouldn't change it.. vance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motv8tr Posted December 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 Thanks for the comments guys, he is a really good dog, and the woman who had him before me did and excellent job training him. As he is still a puppy, he is excitable, especially where the cats are concerned....I think my biggest challenge is going to be getting him to not chase the cats. My girl Sasha (dog) seems to be ok with him...or at least a lot better than I expected. I'll be taking him for more training in the new year. I'm told he will top out at around 200lbs Maureen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Cliff Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 Good for you kid and I'm not the least bit surprised that you would drive to Sudbury to rescue him, heck I bet you'd even take Beans and I in if we needed a place to stay! Congrats and good on you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
