American Mastiff Life span?
Mar 31 2009, 8:37 AM EDT | Post edited: Mar 31 2009, 8:37 AM EDT
My fiance bought an Am. Mastiff from Flying W in 2004. AWESOME DOG!! "Pumpkin" was diagnosed with cancer in March 2007. She battled as hard as she could, but by the end of the month, she was in great pain and had lost more than 40 pounds. We would love to have another one, but we're concerned about illness in the breed. I know that sometimes when breeds are crossed they are more susceptible to various illnesses until the breed has been well-established over several generations.

Any thoughts or advice?

Thanks!
