I just bought the equigroomer for my cats and we love it! Even the cats that wouldn't let me groom them love it and the FUR that comes off them is amazing.
The first year my husband and I were dating, we got a bull mastiff lab cross, and he was the best dog I will probably ever own. He was scared of everything, but when we had kids he took to them instantly. He would nanny them as infants and eventually became one of our son's therapy dogs. He naturally knew how to help my son, and would know before we did if he was sick. We lost him to cancer at 11, he had a terrible time recovering from the first removal surgery so when it came back we decided not to put him through it. A king of dogs. And yes, he was afraid of baths.
A good dog can become a part of the family so wonderfully - my younger sibling called our dog an extra mom. She was the sweetest little (well, big for a chihuahua, but little overall) chihuahua mix, built like a brick and full of love and fear. Terrified of other dogs, no predatory instincts whatsoever, but she truly adored her human family, and got along quite well with strangers too (as long as they weren't too tall.) Only ever nipped a person once - my sibling was messing with her tail - and she felt so bad about it she hid under the bed. She passed away a few years back, but she lived a long and happy life - by the end she was blind, deaf, and incontinent, but she still loved to sit by the hot air vent in the refrigerator and get pets and warm baths. Just a sweetheart in every way.
From a guy that had one for 14 years you just give up to it, when you go out and just before you do they droll on you,and later someone asks you about it, you just say I was mobbed by a very friendly horse that drooled on me LOL.
Same! He’s so cute but hell no to the drooling. My mother in law has a big dog that drools like that, and they’ve small towels all over the house to wipe his face. Your clothes is still covered when you leave. No thank you.
Bohdi looks like what bulldogs used to look like, and it's majestic. He is also a big lovable baby that did his very best to be a good boy, and I am proud of him! 😘
I have always adored bullmastiffs! When I was a little, the privately owned Nursery School had one who would hang out on the playground. Tuffy let the preschoolers climb all over her while she laid down and let them basically maul her, while she gently thumped her tail blissfully. Best nanny ever!
One of my neighbours had a Bull Mastiff called Bruno. He was such a sweetie but kept jumping over the fence to get to our side. Trouble was our garden was lower than theirs so he couldn't get back over. Lost count of the number of times I had to lead him back round the front to let him back in through the gate. He never gave me any trouble, just wanted to say hello :)
I have owned and co-owned up to 10 show dogs. My all-time favorite was my Bullmastiff. A gentle giant with a head as big as a cinder block. The sweetest ever.
lol I had a mastiff/bull mastiff they were over bred and they've lost all aggression because of it and they're terrified of everything like my dude was scared of his own shadow
@@zathtanks I saw a Corgi chase off a Great Dane. We all laughed, and the corgi came strutting back to us. Then he got jumped by a tiny Shit Tsu! We laughed so hard we ended up rolling on the grass!
This is not a shill, just letting you and your viewers know that the Equigroomer is FANTASTIC. I hadn't even heard of them until I watched this channel, and I even have horses! So I ordered them from the GWTD website, one for each horse. I am thrilled with how well they are pulling the winter coats out, and the horses absolutely love how they feel and just stop whatever they're doing so I can groom them. Thanks for turning me on to these!
Mastiffs are amazing dogs. We rescued a Shepherd/Mastiff mix. At 125 pounds, he was intimidating, but my granddaughter was the apple of his eye. Extremely gentle, but as you said, beware if appear as a threat. Best dog ever. RIP Ringo ❤
We rescued an English Lab/Mastiff mix who loved everyone and everything (and would pout like a child if someone didn't pay attention to him), but was very watchful. There's not a doubt in my mind that he would deliver a can of whoopa$$ to anyone who he perceived was threatening me.
@@TheGreatThicc I was talking with my next door neighbour, and her daughter, who is autistic, was also out in the yard. This guy comes from the walking trail that's at that end of our driveway. Lars I'm moved to put himself between the guy and us (without a command from me). He watched him until he was well past us, then immediately came to my side. No barks, no growls. He regularly terrified solicitors (he'd stick his head out the door). I'm surprised that none of them fell off the porch, they'd back up so quickly.
I love other people's mastiffs. The owners always seem surprised when I'm eager to pat them, I guess since I'm a fairly small person so they expect me to be intimidated, but I adore their big block heads and the way they just lumber around. Can't handle the drool though and I think it would be potentially unsafe to have a dog I have no hope of ever being able to physically control if needed (I'm disabled as well and live alone so no backup from someone else).
My mastiff/ pitbull was the same way. He was the sweetest thing he loved everyone. My 1½ year old nephew would climb all over him and he was always so calm and so happy to be used as a jungle gym
It amazes me just when I think ‘oh that’s a big one, they are going to be trouble’ I’m proven wrong every time. It’s the small dogs that are beasts!! Great job as always!!
The difference being if a small dogs decides to attack you it's chicken scratches compared to a big dog, or worse, a pitbull, which could literally kill you 🤷♀️
@vellathewench tell that to the kid in Edmonton dead from two big dogs living with his dad and roommates....bad training occurs in all sizes...worse when it's a big guard breed.
Our friends had two bullmastiffs - the kindest souls imaginable. Very social, to the point that the male would sometimes lie on top of a person rather than in the footend of the bed if someone left a door open. He was gargantuan - quite a challenge to move. And the drool flying everywhere when trying to move him I miss those beasts
I had a Bodi, a beautiful fox red Lab I rescued. A wonderful pup who had a lot of fears but was always willing to them. This Bodhi did the name proud not only in cuteness but courage.
I would suggest you start working on them NOW, so they are used to you messing with their feet, ears, teeth etc. My brother had a St Bernard/Collie mix that was 130 lbs of massive when he finished growing. But thanks to his early training, any of their 3 young kids could trim, brush, clean him up as needed, without a problem, although my youngest nephew did like to lay on Bullitt to brush those teeth (avoid the drool). Best wishes with your two.
I used to dog sit 5 Mastiffs. Lovely big smelly dogs. Every time they shook their heads the drool went everywhere. The kitchen cupboard lower doors were vulnerable. Prepare now for a dogs life of cleaning. Lovely dogs tho.
Bodhi did an awesome job! He is such a sweet boy, and I'm sure he is a ton of entertainment when at home with his family! He just seems like a goofy boy who would crack ya up! He is such a handsome boy, too! You did a great job! 🐶🐾❤️
Grew up with a bull mastiff and later we had an English mastiff. The bull mastiff, Duchess was a love bug to us and so loyal to my father, but when we had company she'd stand by their car door and guard the house until we called her off. She would sit at my dad's feet. Such a great companion
One of the best dogs I have ever had was a Bullmastiff named Victoria. Tori stole my heart! She has now been gone for 21 years and I still miss her....
Oh my gosh! What a big , huggable, and (it's got to be said) drooly boy lol!!...Watching all the fur being brushed off is like the videos you see of German Shedders !! He looks so handsome post-groom!!
Love Bull Mastiffs (our current one is a 3 yr old female) the ultimate protective couch potatoes. Never ceases to amaze me how much hair they shed, not sure where it comes from
A friend of mine had a bullmastiff. He was the smartest, most friendly dog that I think that I have ever met. He was great with children. Unfortunately, their lifespan is shorter than smaller dogs.
I used to take care of two of these, sisters. So sweet and loving…….as long as you were part of their pack that is. Absolutely adored them! Gave the best hugs.
Speaking of fear, I am super afraid of dogs and while I don't know if I'm ready to dive face first into surrounding myself with them, watching your videos has helped me understand their body language a lot better which has helped ease the fear a little. Usually I live in a nightmare when I leave my house because everyone lets their giant dogs roam off leash and I don't know what to do around them ever AND I'm afraid so I just stay inside all the time. But I think I'm a little less terrified than before. It also doesn't hurt to see this guy who could probably kill me with a single tackle being more terrified of getting into the bath than I am of him
Don't worry, this is much more accurate to how successful exposure therapy works than just diving in face first. When done right it starts with looking at pictures and then videos of the thing you're scared of and moving fairly slowly. NOT some asshole going "oh, you're scared of spiders? here's my tarantula!!!" So entirely accidentally you're doing it right. Unfortunately it sounds like most of the dog owners in your area aren't very responsible but if you can find one who is then one day when you're more ready you could try meeting their dog in a supervised situation, but that's up to you and only if you're comfortable with the idea. Learning about dog body language is a good idea either way though since it's often easier to be scared of things that are incomprehensible and being able to tell the difference between an aggressive and a friendly dog removes a lot of unpredictability.
@vanessa1569 Yeah there were a couple times when I almost got attacked as a kid. Thankfully there were adults who were able to keep me from getting really hurt, so I know it's probably a lame fear but for whatever reason I still get really anxious around dogs
@@rocketpsyence it’s not lame, it’s understandable but very unfortunate. I hope you have an experience that gives you a radically different view - as you’ve pointed out this channel is doing that. Good luck 🙂
Bodhi's the bestest boi! 👏👏👏 To his owners for treating him so well, it definitely shows in his behavior. They've put a lot of work into making sure he has the best life he can. ❤️❤️❤️
When I was a kid (8-9) we used to jump neighborhood fences as a sport, running across backyards until we got to the end of the street. One time we landed in a yard with two of these... they came out teeth bared, growling, snarling... I was so terrified... ... Somehow the dogs realized we were no threat and sort of just chilled out and went away. I have 2 BullMastiff friends living with me today as an adult. 🥰🥰🥰
Bodie is such a good boy!! Thought the short coat would be a breeze, but could hardly believe my eyes at the amount of coat that came off of him. As always, thank you for sharing your expert handling of unsure animals❤.
Friends of ours who lived just down the street had a sweet bull mastiff named Rufus. Rufus was a good boy and the yard was fenced, but he would get excited by kids walking past going to and from school. He'd bark as he wanted to play. But the kids would be worried he would try to jump over the fence and eat them or something so they would hurry past 😂 Bodie looked cute in his pink happy hoodie!
I have a friend who has 3 of them and a frenchie. Hers don’t drool thought. She had an old lady bullmastiff that has since passed away, but she was sooo protective of my friends kids. Also of the cats and the ducks they have.
I believe they can be ferocious and brave but my lord, I want to protect this big baby from the scary water myself. What a cute chonker, his owners must be phenomenal and his genetics and breeding - on point. Lovely to see big giant beast love ❤
He is a well-loved & cared for pup. Giant dog. And relaxed enough to take treats even when he wasn't exactly sure he was keen on what was happening. The look on his face during his bath when getting scrubbed - ahhhhh. Similar look during some of the grooming too. Great video. Would live to see him again ♡♡♡
One I met at a dog show was super friendly (and proud of himself for winning!) A friend's mastiff was also super friendly once my friend escourted you into his yard. He also accepted my friend's girlfriend's cats like if they had been raised together.
@@redwitch12 mine didn't drool that much. Maybe there was a reason Bodhi was that day. They usually LOVE water, too. Mine would try and get in the shower with me. NOPE, not enough room. lol
He is gorgeous .... Love the shaking and the amount of hair you got out of that coat. He obviously isn't sure of the process but he became resigned to the groom. I think he liked his cuddle... He would live in treats but giving him a treat is like feeding smarties or M n M's to an elephant.... Thank you for letting us see Bodie.. Fabulous
One tough lady. You are super brave. We would be scared to bathe and nail clip these types of dogs, especially that are not ours. You have a nerve of steel.
My mom’s heart dog has always been her old bullmastiff Bogart. Smartest good boy you’d ever seen, and gentle as could be. He hated when his humans argued, and if you raised your voice in an argument he’d stand in the middle and bark until they stopped
I amazed myself by guessing the breed right off. I couldn't handle that level of drooling either, but Bodhi has a truly sweet temperament. His owner's chose the perfect name for this very mellow spirit!
I had a 200 pound bull mastiff. I scaled down to a 93 pound basset hound after that. They were both good dogs. Now I have a tiny soup bone of a basset at 45 pounds and another 60 pound basset .
Actually, the largest dog, which I believe you are referring to, was an English Mastiff. English Mastiff’s are generally much larger than Bull Mastiffs.
That face! Both adorable and only a mother could love. 😂 My neighbor who shared a corner with our yard had one of these gentle giants. Gawd help you if he liked you and wanted to lick your face.
Omg I love him. He genuinely just gives off nothing but pure joy and love. I want to hug him so badly (hopefully without getting dog slobber on me though)
His eyes and ears said he was a good boy. He would never bite unless extremely provoked. A groomer with a soft voice and an endless supply of treats, is as safe as anyone can be.

Yes! That drool would gross me out so bad! But he was SO handsome.❤
Is she using the 5 inch one?
Bodhi has bypassed "Big Chonker" and has gone straight to "small brown Hippo". But my gosh, he is adorable!
imo he is a bit overweight, no waist LOL. But still handsome and obviously loves treats !
This really tickled me for some reason, holly molly
@@KindCountsDeb3773 He is SEVERLY overweight not just a bit

A truck with no 'backing up' warning alarm
Yep😂
No one has said it so I will. He is an ABSOLUTE UNIT!😂
I honestly can’t take the drool, but that FACE 🥰. I love large breeds and he was so good for his groom.
You are wise! When my basset hound wo7ld drool, he would shake. I woul have to peel the dried drool off the walls like icky paint!
From a guy that had one for 14 years you just give up to it, when you go out and just before you do they droll on you,and later someone asks you about it, you just say I was mobbed by a very friendly horse that drooled on me LOL.
@@wisecoconut5 that sounds gross! And I'd hate to have that drool on my furniture, on my clothes, or on my face! I'll stick with plush toys.
I could not own a drooly dog either, but he is a beauty!

More like a house than a brick

Aww buddy. He seems so sweet even though he was scared too. Truly a gentle giant.

Great handling of this huge dog getting his first professional groom - lots of treats on standby!
"And he's shedding enough fur to make a second Bodie." My gawd, that's a LOT of fur, lol. What a sweet, sweet puppy. ❤
Right? I would have not thought a shorthair could shed so much. Shows you what I know about dogs.
It's because they have no undercoat so it can just fall right off once the hairs get the max length. Why pits shed a lot too.
It amazes me just when I think ‘oh that’s a big one, they are going to be trouble’ I’m proven wrong every time. It’s the small dogs that are beasts!! Great job as always!!
He didn't know quite was was going on....... but if there were treats involved he didn't mind too much.
A very handsome chap.
So calm and good! We have challenging time bathing our 2 beagles :)
When I was a paper carrier, I feared the smaller dogs. The bigger dogs were the biggest babies and were glad for the attention.
The difference being if a small dogs decides to attack you it's chicken scratches compared to a big dog, or worse, a pitbull, which could literally kill you 🤷♀️
@@sadie9728 But the odds of being attacked heavily leans in favour of the small dogs. Small dogs don't seem to get trained like most big dogs do.

I had to share this with my folks since I grew up with Bullmastiffs. We all agree that Bodhi is huge and perfect and beautiful.

Very social, to the point that the male would sometimes lie on top of a person rather than in the footend of the bed if someone left a door open. He was gargantuan - quite a challenge to move.

Somehow the dogs realized we were no threat and sort of just chilled out and went away. I have 2 BullMastiff friends living with me today as an adult. 🥰🥰🥰
Bodhi in the hot pink happy hoodie was everything 😍 what a gentle giant!
Bodie is such a good boy!! Thought the short coat would be a breeze, but could hardly believe my eyes at the amount of coat that came off of him. As always, thank you for sharing your expert handling of unsure animals❤.
I was having a bad day but when I saw you posted a Bullmastiff (aka my fav breed), it made me happy. 💜
Friends of ours who lived just down the street had a sweet bull mastiff named Rufus. Rufus was a good boy and the yard was fenced, but he would get excited by kids walking past going to and from school. He'd bark as he wanted to play. But the kids would be worried he would try to jump over the fence and eat them or something so they would hurry past 😂
Bodie looked cute in his pink happy hoodie!
Bodhi is just a BIG BABY, I love him so much! ❤He is so sweet-natured, gentle and what a drool master!
What a sweet pup! I could not handle that drool around my house - other than that - he's a gem!
The fact that you bathed a beast without flinching!!
The sweetest cutest drooly face ever 💕he was such a good boy 🥺
I loved seeing that big ole doggie wearing a pink happy hoodie. What a cutie!
I have a friend who has 3 of them and a frenchie. Hers don’t drool thought. She had an old lady bullmastiff that has since passed away, but she was sooo protective of my friends kids. Also of the cats and the ducks they have.
One of the few dogs I’ve ever seen that seemed to enjoy a hug, what a sweetheart
Lovely doggo, though I couldn't handle the drool. Props to the breeder/owner keeping the natural ears and tail, too!
He's so adorable. Look at his face.
I believe they can be ferocious and brave but my lord, I want to protect this big baby from the scary water myself. What a cute chonker, his owners must be phenomenal and his genetics and breeding - on point. Lovely to see big giant beast love ❤
Look at that goofy face! Such a good boy!
He just needed a hug.
oh my goodness!!!!!!! Bodie is sooo precious!! What a wonderful, gorgeous, and well behaved young man!💕🐶
Bodhi's booty wiggle is just the cutest thing!!! 🥰🥰
He is a well-loved & cared for pup. Giant dog. And relaxed enough to take treats even when he wasn't exactly sure he was keen on what was happening. The look on his face during his bath when getting scrubbed - ahhhhh. Similar look during some of the grooming too. Great video. Would live to see him again ♡♡♡
One I met at a dog show was super friendly (and proud of himself for winning!) A friend's mastiff was also super friendly once my friend escourted you into his yard. He also accepted my friend's girlfriend's cats like if they had been raised together.
I think I have a new favorite dog on the channel. I just wanna hug him.
but the drool will get on your clothes.
@@SkyeID worth it. :D
@@redwitch12 mine didn't drool that much. Maybe there was a reason Bodhi was that day. They usually LOVE water, too. Mine would try and get in the shower with me. NOPE, not enough room. lol
A client of mine has one of these and that dog legit thinks I’m there just to pet him. He will also do anything for a treat. They’re such good dogs!
He is gorgeous .... Love the shaking and the amount of hair you got out of that coat. He obviously isn't sure of the process but he became resigned to the groom. I think he liked his cuddle... He would live in treats but giving him a treat is like feeding smarties or M n M's to an elephant.... Thank you for letting us see Bodie.. Fabulous
❤ I'm enchanted by Bodie. What a sweetheart!❤
He's a strong, sturdy fellow! (Mr Murphy runs to the TV when he hears your voice. So cute!) I love him in his happy hoodie.
Oh that's so sweet!! ❤️
One tough lady. You are super brave. We would be scared to bathe and nail clip these types of dogs, especially that are not ours. You have a nerve of steel.
Bodie the sweet boulder-sized love muffin!
My mom’s heart dog has always been her old bullmastiff Bogart. Smartest good boy you’d ever seen, and gentle as could be. He hated when his humans argued, and if you raised your voice in an argument he’d stand in the middle and bark until they stopped
Bodhi is a grand ambassador for the breed, such a good boy ❤
Oh my word bodhi is so adorable look at that squidgy face
I amazed myself by guessing the breed right off. I couldn't handle that level of drooling either, but Bodhi has a truly sweet temperament. His owner's chose the perfect name for this very mellow spirit!
mine didn't drool that much. Might have been a reason then. LOVELY dogs, just so sweet. And, if needed, they'd forget any danger and PROTECT.
What a big boy. The amount of drool is insane as is the shedding.
I've heard that the largest bullmastiff who ever lived weighed 340 lbs, straddling the fence between dog and horse.
I had a 200 pound bull mastiff. I scaled down to a 93 pound basset hound after that. They were both good dogs. Now I have a tiny soup bone of a basset at 45 pounds and another 60 pound basset .
P.S. My mastiff drooled like he had rabies.
@@lisabaltzer4190I love basset hounds. My grandma had one and he was the sweetest dog you'd ever meet. _Loved_ children.
Actually, the largest dog, which I believe you are referring to, was an English Mastiff. English Mastiff’s are generally much larger than Bull Mastiffs.
@@wdangelo3You are correct. My bad.
That face! Both adorable and only a mother could love. 😂
My neighbor who shared a corner with our yard had one of these gentle giants. Gawd help you if he liked you and wanted to lick your face.
Omg I love him. He genuinely just gives off nothing but pure joy and love. I want to hug him so badly (hopefully without getting dog slobber on me though)
What a beauty. He was gorgeous. Thank you. May you please take care and stay safe. Louisa. 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️🤩🤩🤩
Bodhi is handsome .my former neighbor had a Neapolitan bull mastiff and he drooled ALOT
Gorgeous colour
What a gorgeous pony… oops I mean dog 😂. He’s very lovable isn’t he? Excellent job keeping him calm and still getting the job done. ❤❤❤
funny, my 4 year old niece got to ride on m BM's back once. He just waddled along ! She's over 40 now and still wants one. lol
He seems to be a gentle giant.
He seems like a well socialized boy.
He is a handsome beast.
He’s so sweet ❤
His eyes and ears said he was a good boy. He would never bite unless extremely provoked. A groomer with a soft voice and an endless supply of treats, is as safe as anyone can be.
"You're drooling, I know you want it! YOU'RE DROOLING EVERYWHERE!"
maybe people who own bullmastiffs always have a towel handy to wipe the drool off their faces periodically?
