Places like petfinder are cool and all except for the fact that I've always wanted a Bigger Dog Like the Great Dane, Olde English Mastiff, St.Bernard, Cane Corso, Neopolitan Mastiff, Or the Bullmastiff

That was a list of the Molosser Family of dogs

which explains there family tree here

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molosser

Because of the Struggling Economy, the owners of the Neo Mastiff couldn't take care of her any longer, she was unfortunately big in size but she was also skin and bones because they left her chained up with not enough food and water so a neighbor anonomously called animal control and they took her in,they said they held on to her for over a month, fed her up as much as they could but sadly that police officer also said that the previous owners hit her, and that right there turned me away from adopting at sheltor, they put her to rest and she didn't do nothing wrong
There at petfinder most of these bigger dogs are located in the Los Angeles Area or Further than 200 miles away, one place mentioned there is owned "Gentle Giants" owned and ran by Actor "Burt Ward" from tv series batman, but they have a major contract with there breed of Giants, they still own them http://www.gentlegiantsrescue.com/

This is what got me interested in owning a large breed dog
here you can read "Gentle Giants Rescue/Adoption Application and Requirements

http://www.gentlegiantsrescue.com/forms/adoption_application.htm

There has to be someone better priced than them. lol

Your question is difficult because you have such a HUGE LIST of possible dogs you want.
And you claim there are no available dogs closer than L.A. (which is only 100 miles from you) or further and you imply there's nothing closer than 200 miles away from you.

I did a search for some of your smaller list of preferred dogs:
"Great Dane, Olde English Mastiff, St.Bernard, Cane Corso, Neopolitan Mastiff, Or the Bullmastiff"
and there's no such thing as "Olde English Mastiff"

I found some in:
Desert Hot Springs, Murietta, Escondido, Mountain Center, Anza, Redlands, Apple Valley, Norco, Mentone, Rancho Cucamonga, Mission Viejo, Pasadena, Yucaipa, Fallbrook, etc. etc.

You also sound distressed with Gentle Giant Rescue because they retain ownership of the dogs. In the L.A. area, this is not unusual as they have had dogs re-return to rescue from new owners who didn't know how to take care of their dogs and mistreated them of didn't feed them adequately. Maybe you didn't hear about it, but one rescue came and removed a dog that Ellen Degeneras had adopted and subsequently gave to a friend because her doing that violated their ownership contract with her.

Dogs for adoption can also be found on Dogster and Craig's list. I have a friend who got one from Craig's list.

You have a strog desire for a large breed dog, but have not said anything that would indicate you'd be a good owner to a large breed dog. That's the FIRST thing you need to do… is LEARN how to be a responsible and loving owner to a dog, and a good firm but loving pack leader. I don't think you're ready for a dog yet. -!-

If dam & litter & contented & healthy, nothing is needed until about 6 weeks old, when you have them checked for fever, heart-lung-sounds - the normal things a vet checks to tell whether the litter are healthy

• Add http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/The_GSD_Source to your browser's Bookmarks or Favorites so that you can easily look up such as rescue groups, feeding, vaccinations, worming, clubs, weights, teething, neutering, disorders, genetics.
It will give you the proper protocol for vaccinating (the recommendations you've received are for OVER-vaccinating), plus a Diet_Sheet, and many other things.

From about 4½ weeks old, get the pups outside on every non-rainy day, so they can explore your FENCED area and get used to movements & sounds of the environment..

Have the bit.ch neutered a week or so after her pups have been weaned.
If the dog is yours, have him neutered too.

There are no "German Shepards"
My breed was developed to HERD sheep in the German boundary patrolling way, so its real breed-name translates as German Shepherd Dog.

"In GSDs" as of 1967

Her name is Raisin. She is a very sweet, loving, and playful dog, but does have a tendency to be a little shy and standoffish. They are very alert, and make great watch dogs (in the sense that they will alert you to anything out of the ordinary). They are not the MOST intelligent dogs, but with patience can be trained to do a great deal of things. They are known to easily get skin diseases or infections, but regular bathing and grooming can help prevent this. They are a devoted family dog who is protective of his family, including children, but it's best if he is raised around the children.

Hope this helps

Hope I Helped You!(:

EDIT:(Silver) A newspaper is perfectly fine to use when TRAINING,like when they do something they aren't suppose to do,I'm not saying to HIT the dog just shake it or hit your HAND NOT the DOG,clapping,whistling,etc may not get there attention.It works my dog listens,and now We don't even need to shake it,she just has to see it,so you're wrong on the "Don't Use A Newspaper."Sorry.!

I know right!?I walk my dog into petsmart and everyone turns and stares with fear like Omg it's one of "those mean" dogs,and watch with caution,they're such a misunderstood dog,it's a shame they are,if more people would give them a chane they'd see that.And yes,Pit Bulls can be the biggest love bugs,babies,etc.Mine is such a love bug,she thinks she is a little dog or something because she will lay on me while we're in bed she's the best dog ever.

But just so you know the newspaper does NOT hurt them the sound just startles them and they adapt to the "when I hear that noise I've done something wrong" vibe and don't do it.I've used this tip on all the dogs I train in my neighborhood,so I recommend it.

Also, I would never want a Border Collie because I know I wouldn't be able to provide all the care it'd need; they have too much energy and intelligence than I'd be able to handle.

what can i do i know there is Raw food diet but its way to expensive for two dogs.
thankyou but can you explain http://www.petco.com/product/111178/Only-Natural-Pet-Fresh-Freeze-Dried-Chicken-and-Veggie-Patties-Pet-Food.aspx?CoreCat=DogFlink_DehydratedFood how much would i have to give 2 dogs for 1 meal. and would it be cheaper to just cook up some meat?

I use a product called PetMix and cook homemade meals for my dog. I used to raw feed but it got too complicated and was too much work to prepare meals for my dog and my family every day. I make petmix in big batches and freeze half of it. since it is cooked with fresh meat it keeps a long time just in the fridge. If you are going to cook for your dog this really is the easiest way I have found.

1. Don't give your husky up for adoption she has good reason to act this way as she lived there first and she see's it as her territory.

I had a 1 year old female westie called Flora. We then rescued another 1 year westie named Becky who was slightly larger so of course Becky wanted to be the dominant one because she was bigger, but it was Flora's home and garden so she thought she was in charge. We had to feed them seperatly and sometimes still do. They will growl over toys so It's best if you give the husky her toy whilst playing with Maggie. then after maybe 10 minutes swap round. or if you and your husband are both at home you could play with a dog each.

Once Lexi has finished her food take her to another room and play with her so Maggie can finish in peace.

We've had our westies for 7 years together and although they still growl and argue sometimes they have only ever had 1 real fight which was over who got to mother our new schnauzer puppy. Eventually one of your dogs will become the alpha dog. (in our case it was actually the newer dog Becky who is in charge)

We can't ever seperate our dogs because they are now like sisters and both pine if the other is missing.

Please if you can help me I would appreciate it.
Thank you!
