Do Mastiffs need a lot of exercise?
As they are growing, Mastiffs need moderate exercise to develop the skeletal and muscular frame to carry their weight as they mature. It is important that you do not over exercise Mastiffs under 2 years of age. Mastiffs’ skeletal frame often continues to grow until age 2. Running and road working a young dog can lead to inflamed joints and skeletal problems. Since Mastiffs tend to be stoic and will do just about anything to please their owners, they can end up with very painful conditions due to over or improper exercise. For this reason, every new Mastiff owner gets detailed instructions on proper exercise.
