Mastiff in Agility "Zeus"

[@BDUBZ49]

"Life is a marathon, not a sprint." - Zeus

[@sugarmuffin319]

For a mastiff, that WAS warp speed! 😍

[@Nellsbells79]

I wonder if I’m the only English mastiff owner who loves watching videos with this wonderful breed. Slow and steady wins the race. The love and devotion you get from these giant babies is worth putting up with the buckets of drool they leave all over your home.

[@justme-dm7sb]

I had an English Bullmastiff that no one wanted so I took her in. She was the most loving creature on earth. She lived out her life with my pack. I love them.

[@tstormdiver1]

My family has had Mastiffs since 1980 (I was 12). I just got my own Mastiff 3 yrs ago. I do not do agility, but I do show him in confirmation.

[@cuztim7887]

You are not the only one

[@alexandrakennedy8078]

What a sweet heart. He seemed to go faster when the crowd cheered for him. I hope his mom won an award for being so great to take the time to teach him and give everyone a chuckle. He should get an award to for "Being So Darn Cute & Adorable".

[@braxm7632]

From what I've read about Zeus was that this was his last show he was going to retire afterwards. He was like 8yrs old.

[@LilyOfTheTower]

He did a great job!! He is a heavy weight doing an agility test. It's not so much speed but his endurance and strength to make all those jumps and climbs.

[@gypsypath1]

When you’ve surpassed the weight limit on the equipment at the gym.

[@AK-jt7kh]

Oof- that aframe. 😥 But wow - that mastiff! What a champ! I love how enthusiastic the crowd was and how much it boyed him up! He really seemed to love that! Clearly he has an amazing owner.

[@captainkarenobvious3087]

The A-frame thing is scary unstable. Definitely not stable enough for a dog his size.

[@robertlangtry5699]

It certainly made me cringe a little for the dog watching them approach the see saw after....

[@silverpurkat]

I think he was beyond the weight capacity

[@captainkarenobvious3087]

@@silverpurkat your comment brought me back here. I never actually watched the video to the very end but the audience and the handler even comment on the A-frame. “I *told* them it was going to wobble.”

[@Lilliz91]

Yeah, you’re right. Scared me a bit.

[@agilitywithsallyperks8093]

American agility equipment is just shit it’s so unsafe!! It’s noisy and just not well made. They need to invest in Galican equipment which is safe, has shock absorbing coating and is a lot less noisy!!

[@anniereaves2861]

My heart skipped a beat when he went down the a grand. I thought it was gonna fall

[@DrCheeks]

His tail at the end! So happy that he had pleased his mum! What a beautiful boy💕

[@earnesttorres4831]

Me, after I skipped the gym for 3 years

[@dj4123]

What a wonderful dog! I know he'd probably rather have been drooling and napping but some activity is good for him. Still, I love Mastiff's as they are such loving and sweet dogs. :)

[@vanzahn]

They are so casual and lolloping in their movement but when they run at full tilt it is both beautiful and terrifying at the same time! haha

[@charisamcnair2995]

😂

[@madelinebrownlee5787]

It's a shame Zeus has to contend with the wobbly a frame. That could really rob him of his confidence.

[@zachariahmorris833]

"Slow and steady wins the race"- Zeus probably

[@davva360]

I love my Mastiff but he would take a nap between each obstacle lol. Awesome dogs.

[@deneenarmstrong5264]

I think she worked harder he did!😂

[@madelinebrownlee5787]

Zeus seems to have a very kind Mom!

[@evilgetsraw278124]

If only i take that line in OTHER way..its perfect!

[@wafflewoman4769]

I thought that too!!😆😂 I thought she was going to flop down with exhaustion on that chair at the end instead of picking up Zeus’s lead!!😄😁

[@hayden1351]

What a good boy! I'm so proud of him! That a frame was scary for a second, but he overcame it!

[@Gamdursol]

That was amazing❣️ I have a dog about that size, and seeing him get in that second tunnel was a little mind boggling! And those jumps! For such a heavy dog that’s no small feat

[@despizedicon]

Love those big dogs...Any pupper that doesn't live in a purse, is a friend of mine.

[@FactsTrumpFeelings.]

I watched it on 2 times playback speed, Zeus was killing it

[@nosoupforyou4307]

Great idea 😂

[@SoulSonder26]

How can you guys even follow the dog? It's like a blur...

[@blixten2928]

Such rickety equipment, low and restricted and unable to carry a mastiff's weight. This dog is a SUPERHERO.

[@lindasnyder2774]

The dog is like “I’m coming mom what’s the hurry?” ❤️

[@VenezuelaSustentable]

And he´s so happy (as he should be). Bravo, Zeus!

[@marcushursl2931]

Zeus is a Greek God, he will take his time.

[@markymarco2570]

been a mastiff for 3 years all we want is a hug in the end

[@anonymous-ts5ih]

It’s like watching a tank driving through the course. Slow, but steady.

[@rustyshackleford1910]

The goodest boy

[@candacehaley1469]

You put food out there, you will be astounded how fast that dog can move. Absolutely love watching him.

[@charisamcnair2995]

😂😂

[@karlmanning2603]

The real MVP is that walk bridge for being strong enough to support him! 😅

[@gma103]

Thank you so much for sharing! Zeus is awesome! He is everything life should be and you are a study in patience! I would love to see him in person. Can you please post more of Zeus?

[@garys.8333]

“Hey, it’s not all about speed, more about precision.” Zeus

[@freeheeler09]

Thanks for the smile you brought to my face!

[@ronbelanger4113]

Seems the fur baby is just walking with mom, zero competition in their mind!

[@ARIES5342]

She is the kind of person that puts a square peg in a round hole.

[@scottmichael3745]

That was awesome! Such a well trained pup! You should seriously be proud of your accomplishment.

[@xstlady52]

I do agility with spaniels and THAT was a beautiful CLEAN run. Great job, Team Zeus!!

[@WendyO1000]

Did my Holman say “hurry?” You kidding me.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Bullzeye1000yds]

I was witness to a big Mastiff defending his owner. They don't display their real speed until it's needed. The man we took to the hospital, had tried to assault the owner on a walk. BAAAD MISTAKE!

[@evilbrat5376]

Not sure who worked harder on that course - Zeus OR the Handler. Believe the handler did - Zeus just walked through it magnificently. 😎

[@drewmccracken4745]

I have two of these. Love how that incline almost fell over when he walked up it

[@andriaskharumlong3260]

For a dog that big he's better than most dogs.

[@jharrington08able]

This dog is seriously my spirit animal. I'll do it. But I won't do it fast. 🤣🤣🤣🐶🐕

[@sheridixon9624]

He's got no need to run away from anything! Why bother? 🤣

[@azigar]

I've just discovered this. It makes me happy...I've been cheering like mad for him!!!

[@randyfarnsworth7825]

He’s gonna need a 2 hr. Nap after this😂😂😂

[@evilgetsraw278124]

Mastiffs are slow but they have high endurance

[@NyanyiC]

I think its the owner who will need a nap.. She looked like she was going to pass out!

[@linseiler1135]

Mine would have decided to lay down and take a nap about halfway through the course.

[@aurora571000]

How nice to see an owner doing this to interact with their dog. Those really fast dogs look they’d be hard to live with

[@paultagliabue2404]

Molto bello!!!!! Il Mastiff. Sia come aspetto estetico e soprattutto per il carattere molto ubbidiente strasuper tranquillo e buono.

[@Unknown-rx2fv]

Mastiffs aren’t the type of dogs for speed unless they are protecting you

[@crazynance]

Zeus has one speed. Go.

[@SolarClarence]

2:10 some hearty pats for a big dog, very satisfied with it

[@nenadkurcubic1587]

Hahaha,he is beautiful,so relaxed, easy,with no hurry!👏😃👍

[@rrm2784]

What a Very Good Boy! ❤

[@EverythingN.Nothing]

That was awesome. I can't get my big lazy boy to even jump in the truck.

[@chrismoody1342]

As a English Mastiff owner I applaud you and Zeus.

[@ОлегТурчев-ц4ш]

Border collie: Hahaha! Look at this fat clumsy big... *pack of hungry coyotes appear approaching the herd* Border collie: Uhm. Mr. mastiff sir! I absolutely appreciate your talents. Please pay attention here!

[@balazamon]

he gives the A-frame a side look on the way back lol

[@suzannebolt7949]

Not sure if this is a good idea for his joints

[@wandameyers]

Super impressive. How adorable!💕

[@R2D6_10]

They're gonna need a zamboni for the doggo-slobbo!

[@vernshein5430]

Zeus: "I'm starbing Mama, when do we eat?"......

[@kimberlymiller59]

The way Zeus paused after the A-frame and glared back at it!😅

[@renalshomlmes338]

What a great boy!

[@austinl.2703]

There is no joy in that for the dog. No excitement, No happiness.

[@bdg77]

Brilliant performance!

[@ChantePierce-kp3uf]

FANTASTIC!

[@WhiteStone21475]

Good fellows, great film, wonderfully cast & directed

[@madame_deanie7656]

Herrlich, wie gemütlich er durch den parcour läuft 🤣

[@Hjominbonrun]

What a great doggo.

[@KARENboomboomROXX]

That felt like twenty minutes🤣🤣🤣

[@ahappyguy7695]

This is how i look on the treadmill but in my mind i'm rolling!

[@chocolatefrenzieya]

He actually broke out in a trot a few times!! Bravo!!

[@CAK-m8q]

He’s so chilled 😂. I watched one of the tiny dogs do it immediately before and they’re just manic compared to him!

[@rickybunch6990]

Big sweet lovable baby😂

[@tee-steel.0158]

That was awesome 👏 love that pup ❤

[@erickyle5604]

Zeus, not the fastest time on course, but definitely fastest time into our hearts!

[@johnbutler8998]

Zeus is a legend of the interwebs.

[@evansaberon4752]

Atta boy Zeus. You're just not going to rush a mastiff.

[@randomguy-xp7se]

Admirable. I love him.

[@brianhoffman4861]

I thought my dog was clever... the day she sat down and said... you do this shit

[@vulture3874]

"I go back to bed... wake me when coyotes get here...zzz..."

[@randyfarnsworth7825]

I have one… No way ever, never..EVER! Would he do this.. Mastiff motto? I do what I want. Human trainers? You don’t dictate with a Mastiff. You negotiate 😂😂😂. Well done!

[@mindseyeview7411]

Do you think the ETs get excited when we learn things?

[@aidenmartin6674]

Agility classes are divided into two groups, border collies and all other dogs.

[@maggs131]

Ever see a dump truck on a formula 1 race course?

[@berthaford2152]

What a very good boy he is !!!🩷🩷🩷🩷

[@HogMan2022]

What a good boy! 🐕

[@jody024]

1:00 that obstacle should have been skipped, that was really dangerous that dog is not built for obstacle that steep, his weight is also a factor in this instance if he fell he would have sustained major injuries, possible internal bleeding even. Other than that i like how he takes his time doing this "Ok lady I'll do this but on my terms".... too funny:P

[@ragingontarian6816]

Agreed! I have had 2 mastiffs in the past, who both tore their ACL, whichbis a known risk for this giant breed. That steep apparatus should be totally removed for large breeds!!!

[@psycothesuperpup2488]

jody024 well it is a part of any course so she had to she would have gotten disqualified if she didn't do it but she shouldn't be doing agility with him anyway because of that obstacle I mean agility shows because at home you can build your own course and wouldn't have to,do that a frame

[@jody024]

Psyco the Super pup I would gladly DQ my dog then. Not worth the risk imho.

[@psycothesuperpup2488]

jody024 I would have not been there in the first place

[@3daysandotherlies776]

jody024 there is nothing wrong with a Mastif or any other large breed doing the A-frame. There was a problem with that a frame and it was not anchored correctly. An a frame should never move like that when a dog gets on it. I have seen giant dogs take an a frame and they have not moved. The fault does not lie with the handler in this.

[@drkatherines]

What an excellent boy!

[@sibertiger1970]

You can't rush perfection 🥰

[@e-reptiledysfunction2243]

This made me miss my big ol Bruceter boy

[@AlanMitchell-v6g]

Paulie might've moved slow, but it was only because Paulie didn't have to move for anybody. Goodfellas

[@mychappyboy]

I still love this.

[@annelessick3163]

After the A-frame, he seemed to stop like…am I done yet?

[@paulwhittaker5195]

I think this Bullmastiff has some Usain Bolt genes in him. My Bullmastiff has some (alot) Sloth genes . Absolutely brilliant though. Well done to Zeus and owner.

[@2112Nightshift]

I love this sooooooooo much!!

[@bcb7443]

Great job Zeus!
