Question
When my Mastiff goes into lobor what do I do?

Answer
Hi Michelle. Actually, I just recently got my first Mastiff, and have been doing a ton of research. I have a few links that pertains just to Mastiffs. I'll list them at the bottom on this letter. The first thing you do, is to get her in her whelping box. The second is to contact your vet, and let him know. I know that Mastiffs may have a hard time with it, so you want your vet to be on stand by. Make sure you have all of your supplies together, and grab a book. From what I gather, Mastiffs are known for inertia, where labor stops. I'm going to give you those links now, and after you have a look at them and have any more questions, feel free to holler.
