Bentley is a purebred English Mastiff, a BIG loverboy! He's a handsome brindle color with a graying face and his estimated age is around 7 years. Bentley is looking for a home with big or giant dog experience, with people who find Mastiff drool (known as "slingers") charming! Yes, he's got a fairly "wet mouth" and he does like to wipe it on his human friends... But a "slobber rag" can take care of that, you just have to be prepared!
Bentley is neutered and current on vaccinations and he weighs approximately 160 lbs. He's about 30" tall at the shoulder and his chest measures 40" around! He is a solid, big boy for sure. Housetrained and loving, he is a fabulous and friendly guy. He's lived in a home in the past with a small breed dog and got along fine. Like many English Mastiffs, he is reserved though when he first meets new people, so slower introductions are best. Since he's an older gentleman, a "senior dog," he's really wanting a nice retirement home where he can sleep on the couch or a super-soft dog bed.
