“We love big dogs but hate the typical life span that comes with them.”
That is biggest reason I never bought one of the monsters, I couldn’t bear the thought knowing my dog had only 6 or 7 years, even 12-15 is really too short. Otherwise I’d love to have an English Mastiff.
I had an English Mastiff that lived over 13 years and was pretty spry until her last day, she died in her sleep.. Sweet lap dog.
