“…they were bred to be ferocious war dogs”. Winston: *Today, I’m a walrus*

"They were bred to be ferocious war dogs" Meanwhile Winston: *Is falling asleep like a big old potato*

my landlord growing up had an elderly mastiff named Zeus, he had this beautiful dark red coat instead of the usual tan and was the biggest sweetheart. He had no energy and had a twin mattress in the living room for a dog bed, the most energy he would use was to head butt your hip to pet him, or slightly pouncing to scare away birds before laying down again. They had a toddler and while they did yard work the dog would just sit next to the toddler the entire time happily smiling and drooling. He passed away around the age of 12 which is pretty old for these big guys, had a long happy lazy life

When I met my husband, I also had to meet his English mastiff, Dookie. He’s such a sweetheart, didn’t even bark at me when we met, just rolled over for me to pet his belly. What a sweet breed 🥰

That’s… a pony

Even more concerning than the Bite-force is that the Mastif has a Drool-force of over 9000 DPM (Drools Per Minute), making it the Slobberiest of SlobberDogs.

The more gigantic the dog the more goofy and gentle. Winston looks like he didn't have a care in the world.. on a side note never knew a short haired dog could have that much shedding

I had an English mastiff named Hagrid when I was little. He was such a good boy, and this video makes me miss him even more than I already do! 😭

Her: "These dogs were bred to be ferocious" Winston: "Imma have to pass on standing"

Let's just take a minute to appreciate how absolutely well behaved and how georgous this big bear is.

When my cousins were little they lived on a little dead end street. One of their neighbors had a big ole mastiff like Winston. When they first moved in, my uncle had met the man who owned the dog who told him all about the dog. One of the most memorable parts of that description was the fact that the mastiff had chewed through some electrical wiring when it was a puppy so he was a little off and clearly had some nerve damage. The man assured my uncle that the dog was perfectly docile and well behaved. Said that he was the neighborhood babysitter when the kids were out playing in the street. My uncle was wary about a 200 lbs dog with a few deep fried brain cells though. So my cousins were out playing with the kids in the street. One was riding a big wheel tricycle. She started to go off a little too far down the street and my uncle started to holler at her to turn around and come back when he noticed the mastiff get up off the porch and take off running after my cousin. My uncle panicked as he watched this dog run after his child. The dog catches up to her quickly... runs up and grabs on to the front tire of her tricycle to stop her. Then starts dragging her back down to the dead end part of the road with the rest of the kids. My uncle nearly had a heart attack. My cousin almost peed herself laughing.

Aunt had a one. He was 200 lbs too. His name was Bruttis. He once blasted through a garage door (the one the cars go through) during 4th July. Ran up to a firework like a roman candle and started running around with it going off in his mouth. Miss big boy, loved visiting just because of him

Her: ‘I gonna need you to stand up’ Winston: ‘I shall lie in the garden, I shall lie on the couch, on the bed, in the shower and in front of the door. I shall never surrender to standing! I will sleep on to the end, whatever the cost may be.’

"They were bred to be ferocious war dogs" Winston : that's what we tell everyone so they leave us alone to catch some rest

That last photo comparing his head to yours was mind boggling. HUGE dogs!

I remember seeing a 220 pound mastiff being led by a 110 pound girl. I told her that if he wanted to, he could fly her like a kite. He'd be able to drag me if he wanted to and i'm 225. Love mastiffs, they're usually sweethearts and most of the ones i've seen are giant couch potatoes just like Great Danes.

The equigroomer like: Could it be, you are finally using me on an EQUINE?

Winston's head is like twice the size of Vanessa's what a gorgeous dog and wonderful ambassador for his breed so cute ❤️🐶

English Mastiffs may look like monsters but actually have hearts of gold

"...so I *let* him lay down..."

A mastiff only moves when necessary. I love how your whole hand fits into his ear xD

I loved how you stopped and allowed him to sniff the nail clipper, and then once he was assured it wasn't a dangerous equipment, he licked it to give you the approval to continue. A very wholesome grooming video. Winston is such a teddy bear. 💕💕

the shedding fur part is so satisfying to watch, the dog must been enjoying every second of it

My old mastiff topped out at 245. Best dog ever.

“They were bred to be ferocious war dogs” Winston: Oh yes, more brushing

"They were bred to be ferocious war dogs" Winston: "I'll wake up when this is over"

I legit do not understand how anybody can deal with all that slobber.

Absolutely beautiful. Look at his face, it's adorable.

the owners have done an incredible job of training him. So calm and well mannered. He is huge but such a softy.

English Mastiffs are hilarious. I met some one day at the dog day of a local flower festival. They both had custom collars that had space for their personal face towels because they drooled so much. I was allowed to pet them and they both just immedaitely tried to sit on my feet for best head scratch placement.

What a giant boy with a giant soft heart ❤️

As a small child, had my best memories with a female Nastiff, in the late 50's called à Burmese. We played for hours, and She was quite old! Patient and persistent! Love these!

Omg, Winston is such a good boy. He looks like he is thoroughly enjoying his groom. Such a beautiful dog! 😍

I immediately love this giant squishy child. He's such a good boy.

“This is outrageous!” But you can tell he feels so good getting all that extra hair off him!! Thanks for sharing this sweet beast!

I grew up with an English Mastiff named Charlie. She was a sweetheart and besties with my best friend's Bull Mastiff Zeke, who was a big slobbery goodball. She would sit my lap like she was still a puppy and I could never bring myself to move her even when I couldn't feel my legs 💕

My family had two English mastiffs. One was, coincidentally, also named Winston. He was so sweet, he never wanted to leave your lap, and he always made sure guests left with the gift of his slobber. He died at thirteen due to hip and joint troubles, so it was wonderful to see Winston again, even if he wasn’t my Winston. Thank you so much! These are some of the best dogs you could ever wish for.

I just lost my English Mastiff to cancer after 11 years a couple weeks ago. He had the same Big, stubborn but sweet and gentle personality. He was 197lbs when he passed away, about 250lbs in his prime. He was a truly amazing friend.

The love and care you show these animals is AMAZING! You are an inspiration to many in the pet grooming industry!

Aww 🥰 pretty sure the big fella is struggling to stay awake with the warm water 🚿 and spa treatment

A friend of mine had one of these. When it became excited and ran around, it tore up chunks of the lawn. Total sweetheart.

the fact that Winston still sheds even after you put the dog cologne, your reaction was priceless!! 😂

I had a mastiff years ago. About 180 lbs of wonderful. I miss him to this day. You blessed me the day you joined my family, Bishop. What a good, gentle, sloppy boy you were.❤️😢

I love how she is explaining the history of Winston but you look at him just because wholesome, it makes me chuckle

Oh what a big beautiful dog he is. He's such a good dog. Didn't mind the grooming process at all. Just look like it wore him out.

Oh, I love Winston. The name fits him perfectly and his laziness is unbelievably cute 🥰

Lol u made my day a little bit brighter with how loving n caring u treated him I know mastiffs can be trained to be mean like pits I raised n breed them for ten yrs they are like Winston when treated right 👍

Such a beautiful video and so educational! Really cool hearing about your own personal background with this breed as well. Loved it

I was just telling my groomer this morning this story!! A few years ago, about 2 in the morning, I was driving in a subdivision and I saw a huge dog in the middle of the road and cars were driving around it. I stopped infront of it. I opened my door to get out, and a giant Mastiff climed right into my back seat!! (it was a 2 door car) She was so lost and so sweet!! I went to a gas station to get her some water and to call our towns little shelter. I had to wait awhile for him to come and get her. Oh the big tongue kisses LOL! He was going to put her in the back in a cage, and I said, do you realky have to do that? She's so sweet! You don't have far to drive! So he put her up front with him! I went in the next day and her owner called and was coming to get her! I was so happy!

He is HUGE but seems so gentle 🥺❤️

The drooooools omg 😂😅 he is so sweet and well behaved 😍

“Bred to be ferocious war dogs” Winston: *laying in the shower enjoying his bath not caring about anything*

dog groomer : "I'm gonna need you to get up because I can't move you" Mastiff: "No. I don't think I will."

He’s actually the sweetest boy, i’ve never seen a dog this relaxed while being groomed! Such a good boy!

Yeah, I can tell how aggressive he is by how he stands there while you wash and comb him. :-) What a big softie though I have no doubt he'd defend his people when necessary. Good dog!

That is the BEST breed for first time owner, they are so calm and not dominance, great video

He looks so proud of his slobber production. What a good boi!

My godparents had a French Mastiff named Blue, who was the sweetest and most laid back pony you ever met. You would never imagine he had a side anything other than happy-go-lucky drool machine except for one time only my godmother was being threatened by a would-be burglar. Blue growled a growl none of us had ever heard before. That was enough to make the person consider better life choices. Blue was the best boy.

We had a brindle Bull Mastiff/Rottweiler mix, he was 165lbs and such a gentle giant sweetheart! He lived to be almost 11, I still miss him to this day

0 fluffs given. I love mastiffs ❤

I love how no dog understands why this is done to him but loves it anyways

"They were breed for war" . Winston be like: The only war I fight is against my empty food bowl and no place to chill! Such a peacefull and beautifull giant

Very gentle….❤❤❤HE LIKED AND TRUSTED YOU…

He might have been intended to serve as a humongous war machine, but I swear he has the same facial expression of my 20 pound cavalier king 😂😂

Winston is gorgeous. I love his calm temperament too. He's a gentle giant.

In my personal experience, it's always the bigger dogs that end up being the sweetest and most loving. I think it's because they don't have to worry about other dogs or animals trying to beat up on them. They can just relax and enjoy life without any insecurities.

So beautiful!!! Just wanna give her all the hugs I can ❤

I very very very much love all of your furry clients. The way Winston worked with you was nice, good communication. He is absolutely beautiful. Your finish made him look handsome and clean and the narration is great. I could watch these all day.

Fly is showing some sass. And Winston is a ‘can’t be bothered’ type of dog.

I think he enjoyed when she brushed his face. Adorable

Just got an old English. Ellie May.. Super excited as she is 11 weeks old and already melts our hearts. Have started training and in 2 weeks she starts service dog training. Great video

You are very good groomer with all breeds. I love that brush you where brushing out Winston.

Thank you so much for stressing a human's responsibilities when they consider adopting a member of this amazing breed.

Winston is a MASSIVE Mastiff who looks like he has a gentle soul. What a majestic creature. He's too cute!

Winston is so handsome! A gentle giant!🐾♡♡♡

1:33, ohhh, he liked that spot ^^

I like how the video takes part in different areas of the shop as if Winston said, "I'm going over here and you may groom me there".

The slobber makes him a no for me. That said he was so well behaved and absolutely handsome. I love it when you show the big boys!

My ex's extended family has an English Mastiff. Huge, powerful dog but he was just a giant teddy bear! Loved attention and I fell in love with him! They lived on multiple acres in Minnesota. I remember multiple people were standing on this humongous branch and he actually was able to lift it.

I’ve got three English Mastiffs/Beach Whales LOL. He LOVED that ear massage!!

If only every dog was so chill to wash and groom like WInston (man, his head is so huge 😲)

I had a little Shih Tzu who was a certified therapy dog. I went to a conference once, expecting all kinds of smaller dogs. Imagine my surprise when I met one of these big boys passed out on his blanket. He was a therapy dog, too. What a great ambassador for his breed he was, just like Winston. ❤️🇨🇦

Its nice to see shes diversyfing from just dogs shes now doing livestock

As a kid our neighbors had a Mastiff. His name was Morgan. He was the neighborhood favorite with all the kids. Thanks for sharing Winston with us.

My favourite breed I have ever owned, and I am a massive dog lover. They obviously can be very large, 36" tall at the shoulders and over 200 lbs in some cases. They are very low energy and only need a short walk each day. In fact, it is important NOT to overwalk them as it can encourage joint problems, something the breed is already prone to. Also, they should not be walked until at least six months of age. They don't eat near as much as you would imagine, probably due to a slower metabolism, but they do need to be fed from an elevated food and water bowl to help prevent bloat (the stomach twisting itself into two separate pieces, like a water balloon). They do in fact drool quite a bit, but particularly after drinking. They can be expensive when it comes to veterinary treatment. Personality wife they are nicknamed "gentle giants" and I found this to be very true. They want to be near or on you almost all the time, and they will hurt you by accident. Stepping on your feet, bashing you with their head, and for men out there keep an eye on that baseball bat of a tail when they are wagging it, it tends to be at a very "painful" level. They very rarely bark, are known to almost never bite except in extreme circumstances and while they are excellent protectors are rarely aggressive. They are pretty much just huge, loving, cuddle bugs. They tend to be very stubborn and training them can take a bit more patience than with other breeds. They simply need consistent training and a little more time but they get it eventually. You must be gentle in your training, however. They are very sensitive and even raising your voice can upset them, and certainly NEVER be physically aggressive with them during training. A scared dog can easily become a violent dog, and given that they have a bite force very nearly equal to that of a lion (about 700 psi) and with some members of the breed able to pull a couple TONS on a sled, you don't want this breed to become aggressive. It is VERY important to socialize them as puppies with other animals and people. This reduces the potential for aggressive behaviour as they become adults. Overall they are a little higher on the maintenance side, have a lower life expectancy than most breeds (about ten years), but are one of the most loving, loyal and endearing breeds out there in my opinion.

My next-door neighbor had an English mastiff. When he wanted to come over and visit, he came. Leash, chain, fence, no hassle. He just came.

That was extraordinarily fun to watch ❤❤❤

I was waiting for this.. what a massive and huggable dog Winston is. well mannered beast.

He's adorable! His food bill must be a killer lol

I have an English mastiff. He’s 220 lbs. sweetest baby ever. But he’s nervous about his toenails and anyone getting too close to his face. He will nip 😩 but I can give him a bath he loves those thankfully!

Used to have a delivery route where one house had 3 of these guys. Delivered dog food to them all the time. All of them were super friendly and all with their own personalities. One loved being petted, one just wanted to play, and the last one was very talkative. They also loved chasing my truck too. They lived on a corner lot and on a street I was on often.

As someone who has bathed many a Pyrenees, I recognize the old "I'm just going to sit my giant butt in this soapy water and not let you rinse me" move. Classic lol

You have absolutely the best videos on RU-vid on this subject matter. Very informative, I’ve learned a lot. Thank You!

Such nice dog!!! I hope I can have a home and plenty of space to own one of this !!! look like such great pets!!!

When I was a toddler we had 2 mastiffs, one english mastiff and one bull mastiff, they were so much fun to be around and the bull mastiff used to get up while I was cuddling him and walk around while I clung to his back like a confused barnacle lol they're so calm and nonchelant about everything.

When I was little I always thought they were called "English Massives"... technically I wasn't wrong.

Aw he's such a sweetie!!

Thank you and Thank you for What you Do I just Love Watching you Great Vids, I Need you to Never Stop Bring Such Great Constant to the World . God Bless Uncle Ben

So glad that "they're just gentle big floofbabies" was immediately followed up with "but responsible training please"...
