Meet Minerva, fila neo. mastiff mix

[phearamedusa]

So this is Minnie,, short for Minerva. But I think I should have called her Piranha....sharp little baby teeth, that she uses on EVERYTHING,mostly my other dog, and myself.

BTW she weighs about 12 lbs now.

OMG! How adorable!!!

How big is she expected to get? I love the giant breeds, especially when they're puppies...too cute!

Her dad is about 120lb and considered lean for the breed, her mum is in the 100 to 110 range, so I expect her to be in that range also. If I was to work her and exercise her daily so she's all muscle I'd expect her to weigh even more. The Neo. in my avatar was 3yrs old and weighed 140lb, exercised daily, and was solid. I can post pictures of dad, and mum if interested.

Beautiful family

Thank you, Susanne. I just hope Minnie gets more of her mother's personality instead of her dad's. He's pretty grumpy with non family members.
