My husband had been wanting a Mastiff pup for quite some time and I thought we had found the perfect one. We did a partial prepay for the pup and thought we were getting a healthy dog. Well, we got him today. The poor guy is covered in fleas and he's skinny. I asked the breeder about the food he was on so I could continue the food plan or at least do a slow transition. The guy said Ol Roy, ewww, wth! People really feed their dogs that crap? Thennnn, this poor thing is scared to death and then I find out that he has been kept in a kennel outside with his mother and litter mates and has had little interactions with people. OMG! WTH?!?! I asked him about the fleas and he said "umm, well, I dipped him?" Uhhhh, you did what? Can you "dip" a pup that young? He's 9 weeks old. I gave the guy the rest of the money just so I could get him out of the hell hole that they had him in. Ughhh, this is terrible! I feel so bad!
