1......Nigeria is mid summer all year round... when would they be shedding again?...
they have shed all they can naturally... it's not enough. ... they need haircut.
2. Sweat/perspire..... bottom line... they are feeling hot... too hot.
3. not a bowl of water in sight suggests to you that the dogs were not given water throughout the walk?
I know little about dogs but I do know those dogs are not taken care of as well as they should by those who are supposed to be dog walkers lovers. They should know better.

Thanks for putting the records straight- "you know little about dogs". The asymmetry in knowledge cannot permit a fruitful debate.

..... cold climate dogs in hot hot Nigeria.... dogs not even groomed... with full length hair to keep them even hotter.... all the dogs overheating.... see them with their tongues out.... not a bowl of water in sight. Even in cold countries during summer dogs are given a low haircut. Bunch of clowns.

Dogs shed naturally during summer. You don't necessarily have to trim their fur. There is a natural God given process handles that.

2. Dogs don't sweat. That is why you see tongues out. That is how they perspire. A dog that is overheating cannot stand or walk.

3. So from the picture, you could judge that that the dogs were not rehydrated throughout the walk? You need to write a book: how to be a clown for dummies"

I think we should look at the description of a French mastiff head before calling this a French mastiff. Even from the lying position one can see that the dog is tall. French mastiffs are very muscular and stocky and not very tall. This is not. All I can see here is a English mastiff... but for the color.

purposedriven:
you are very wrong. The bulk of the the dog u posted online is from fat and not muscle. And trust me apart from jos, a fat dog will not do well in Nigeria

1. I did not post the pictures

2. I am talking of what I have seen physically.

3.if you know about English mastiffs, you will know that they are very muscular dogs. They easily tip th scale at 100kg.

4.the heaviest dog that ever lived is Zorba, an English mastiff weighed 155kg!

5.like every other mastiff, their bulk is from fat not muscle.

Thanks

Wrong bro, those are English mastiffs and i'm very sure they come in other shades of fawn

Color aside, you simply cannot compare pictures posted from the Internet to the pictures of the ones you saw in owerri.
Head size,Limb length, chest width etc.

Bro I have seen these dogs physically abroad. They are nothing like what you have there.

Also,their bulk comes from muscle not fat. Thanks

Nice to know. But the ones I am seeing here are far from what I have seen abroad physically and online. They are not as bulky. You might need to check online and compare, you will see the difference. however these ones might look inferior because of the quality of feeding. Thanks

it is very costly unlike caucasians and the likes. Keep $3000-3500 and 2500 for import. I have many professional breeders contacts.

The freight charge is huge! What country do you have contacts in? Thanks

Immorttal:
there is no breeder of English mastiff in Nigeria, if you need OEM you need to import them. The breed is the first breed I fell in love with. Perfect family dog, gentle giant.

Thanks. Pls do you have any contacts I can import a pedigree OEM from abroad?

I wonder why it is difficult for most to interpret sarcasm. Alibaba is actually criticising the FG.

Thanks for your kind words. I am based in PH.

Gsd genes? , my boy is top notch! Am sure th pix of him standing should convince you otherwise

Thanks
