Taken near Wedmore, Somerset, this Super Mastiff belonged to "Chimpey" Evans of Cheddar, and was taken with my old Instamatic film camera, probably in the early 1990's.
I thought this Tibetan Mastiff was so beautiful. Reminded me of a lion. Could you imagine keeping that coat up on a daily basis? Westminster Dog Show. NYC

Fate 20 Nov 1939 was engaged in the recovery of a mine, which had broken loose from a field laid on the night of 18 Nov by German DDs Wilhelm Heidkamp, Hermann Künne and Bernd von Arnim.

Just lately ive gone for my Butties on a Sat morning in something different every week lately and gives my trucks a run out -and the locals like them too including the lads from Readymix.
Elevated view giving a good impression of the massive engine of this tank-sized beast; the bonnet is higher than a man's head. The exhaust system running up and over the slat armour is also well seen.
Tomb models such as this alert watchdog reflect an increasingly humanistic and mundane view of the afterlife. Its compact, hollow earthenware body has been molded in two halves, joined lengthwise along the head, chest, back, and rump. The lead glaze, colored green by the addition of copper oxide, has decomposed into thin layers that reflect light with silvery iridescence.

My wife and I came out of the eye doctor's office after our eye exams and this handsome fellow was tied to a bike ring on Danforth Ave.
My wife suggested I photograph him and I did - despite the fact that the doctor had dilated my pupils for the exam and I could barely see enough to frame the photo in the bright sunshine.
Thank goodness my camera's autofocus really works well. I figure this was the ultimate test. :-)
This dog was really friendly and after posing for a photo he stood up, raised his front paws, and leaned into me. I felt like I'd been hit by and NFL linebacker. "Down boy!"
An attempt at a portrait of Josza, a Pyrenean mastiff puppy. With the kind of impatient energy a puppy has it was not easy to get a good shot, as demonstrated by the less than ideal sharpness.
a neighbours dog, a tibetan mastiff, was being walked by his trainer when he obliged me with this portrait. this dog is massive and i mean really humongous, if there is such a word!!! if he stands he will be taller than me and i'm 178cms tall. according to the trainer, they keep his coat short to adapt to the tropical weather conditions. i could only imagine the amount of food he consumes and the crap he produces. furthermore, the trainer also mentioned that puppies of this breed sell for around USD2,000 each. this is a very high maintenance dog. anyone who look after this dog must really be a dog lover because it really needs a lot of care and attention compared to smaller, more manageable breeds!
The dogs got a bath today so I grabbed some snaps while they were still clean.

The Dogue de Bordeaux, Bordeaux Mastiff, or French Mastiff is a large and of the most ancient French dog breeds. The French Mastiff has a very muscular body. This brawny breed has been put to work in many different capacities, from pulling carts and hauling heavy objects, to guarding flocks and, historically, the castles of the European elite.
