"I ordered the Big Barker bed for my older Neapolitan Mastiff, Luna, who had orthopedic problems. The bed arrived yesterday, but unfortunately before Luna had the opportunity to try it out, she unexpectedly died the same day. I considered returning it, but instead put it on the floor for our younger Neapolitan Mastiff, Draco. He seems to love the new bed, and maybe it will prevent future problems for him. The bed appears to be very comfortable, and hopefully Draco will have many years to enjoy it."
We saw this gorgeous Tibetan Mastiff today at the 4th of July parade. I had never seen one before and we all thought it was the coolest dog ever! Not a great photo, just thought I would share this unique and interesting dog with everyone!
My 1 year old always saws "Woof" when he sees a dog, but this time he said "ROAR"!
That's a 200 lb #Dane and a 80 lb #pitmastiff sharing a bed comfortably! If you have big dogs you should check out #bigbarker

Best purchase I've made for my baby! He loves his Big Barker Bed! I can't believe I wasted money all these years on different ones. Totally worth the investment! Thank you! !
This was getting into a bit of a state and after some rude comments by some Bus 'enthusiasts' about it wanting a Total restoration, -i thought enough is enougth -even though it is still very solid underneath the cab, there was bad rot to most of the front of the cab after standing outside for two years..
Lots and lots of old repairs underneath.....
Thank you #bigbarker for making quality dog beds made for #bigdogs all my pups can hop on and snuggle together! #dobey #greatdane #mastiffpit
The Tosa or Japanese Mastiff is a breed of dog of Japanese origin bred in Tosa (present day Kochi) as a fighting dog. The dog in this photo is a retired undefeated fighter and is standing in the octagon at the Tosa Dog Fighting Center in Kochi (Katsurahama), the only one of its kind in Japan (according to what I read).
Lyme Park is a large estate located south of Disley, Cheshire. The estate is managed by the National Trust and consists of a mansion house surrounded by formal gardens, in a deer park in the Peak District National Park.[1] The house is the largest in Cheshire,[2] and is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building.[3]
The estate was granted to Sir Thomas Danyers in 1346 and passed to the Leghs of Lyme by marriage in 1388. It remained in the possession of the Legh family until 1946 when it was given to the National Trust. The house dates from the latter part of the 16th century. Modifications were made to it in the 1720s by Giacomo Leoni, who retained some of the Elizabethan features and added others, particularly the courtyard and the south range. It is difficult to classify Leoni's work at Lyme, as it contains elements of both Palladian and Baroque styles.[a] Further modifications were made by Lewis Wyatt in the 19th century, especially to the interior. Formal gardens were created and developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The house, gardens and park have been used as locations for filming and they are open to the public. The Lyme Caxton Missal is on display in the Library.
The land now occupied by Lyme Park was granted to Piers Legh and his wife Margaret D'anyers, by letters patent dated January 4, 1398, by Richard II, son of the Black Prince. Margaret D'anyers' grandfather, Sir Thomas D'anyers, had taken part in retrieving the standard of the Black Prince at the Battle of Crécy in 1346, and was rewarded with annuity of 40 marks a year by the Black Prince, drawn on his Cheshire estate, and which could be exchanged for land of that value belonging to the Black Prince. Sir Thomas died in 1354, and the annuity passed to his nearest surviving kin, his granddaughter Margaret, who in 1388 married the first Piers Legh (Piers Legh I). Richard II favoured Piers and granted his family a coat of arms in 1397, and the estate of Lyme Handley in 1398 redeeming the annuity. However, Piers was executed two years later by Richard's rival for the throne, Henry Bolingbroke.[6]
When in 1415 Sir Piers Legh II was wounded in the Battle of Agincourt, his mastiff stood over and protected him for many hours through the battle. The mastiff was later returned to Legh's home and was the foundation of the Lyme Hall Mastiffs. They were bred at the hall and kept separate from other strains, figuring prominently in founding the modern breed. The strain died out around the beginning of the 20th century.[7][8]
The first record of a house on the site is in a manuscript folio dated 1465, but that house was demolished when construction of the present building began during the life of Piers Legh VII, in the middle of the 16th century.[5] This house, by an unknown designer, was L-shaped in plan with east and north ranges; piecemeal additions were made to it during the 17th century. In the 1720s Giacomo Leoni, an architect from Venice, added a south range to the house creating a courtyard plan, and made other changes.[3] While he retained some of its Elizabethan features, many of his changes were in a mixture of Palladian and Baroque styles.[2] During the latter part of the 18th century Piers Legh XIII bought most of the furniture which is in the house today. However, the family fortunes declined and the house began to deteriorate. In the early 19th century the estate was owned by Thomas Legh, who commissioned Lewis Wyatt to restore the house between 1816 and 1822. Wyatt's alterations were mainly to the interior, where he remodelled every room.[9] Leoni had intended to add a cupola to the south range but this never materialised.[10] Instead, Wyatt added a tower-like structure (a hamper) to provide bedrooms for the servants. He also added a one-storey block to the east range, containing a dining-room.[2] Later in the century William Legh, 1st Baron Newton, added stables and other buildings to the estate, and created the Dutch Garden.[9] Further alterations were made to the gardens by Thomas Legh, 2nd Baron Newton and his wife during the early 20th century.[11] In 1946 Richard Legh, 3rd Baron Newton, gave Lyme Park to the National Trust.wikipedia
A few shots from my end-of-life session with Mila, a sweet 13 year old English Mastiff. Sadly, the morning after our session, miss Mila had to be euthanized. We are all grateful that things came together to schedule the shoot when we did.
