I am getting my first english mastiff puppy at the end of October from a friend. We have already chosen our little girl and our friends offered us another female because they are having a hard time selling the puppies or finding someone to take them. I was just wondering if we should take the second female or not? Thanks in advance

The question to ask yourself is can you handle double the puppy stage? If you are a well experienced dog owner then you shouldnt have that much trouble. Litter mates are something special and will bring a lot of joy to your life. But especially with Mastiffs, you need to remember it a lot of everything (money, food, vet, clean up...ect) just to keep one. But they are great dogs, we had a neo mastiff, just a great dog. But a huge responsability

I totally agree with all the above i have two litter brothers coming up to 3 have had them since they were 7wks old and it was the bestest thing ive ever done:)
