Beautifull mastiffs, my sis will be breeding her great dane in a few months and I can't wait to get a pup. I have always had big dogs growing up, st. bernards and danes, but never a mastiff. They sure are beautifull dogs and I know what you mean about being lap dogs, my sis dane dosen't realize how big she is and still tries to curl up with her on the recliner. Its quite a sight.
