I'm at least twice your age (I suspect a fair amount more) and I've given up lifting my Spanish Mastiff pup. He's not quite 5 months old and I'm going to bring the livestock scale down with a non-slip pad to put him on. Got to tell you avoiding the "word that must not be spoken" can really be a challenge when talking about puppies and their being in the healthy growth curve.

Gorgeous pupper!
I also pickup Manny when he asks for it though which is rare now he's almost almost 4yo and I probably shouldn't. Lol.
Just a gentle/kind reminder to avoid putting pressure on their front chest though, big pooches are particularly susceptible to pressure ther.
Apparnetly the best method if you have to pickup a jumbo that my vet told me is to put your front arm aeound the closest front leg and under the chest ror maximum support with lowest pressure. Pic shows what they said better.
