To give or not to give calcium to large breed dog?

I brought my 10 week old Neapolitan mastiff puppy home from the breeder (who is also a vet) 3 weeks ago. She instructed me to supplement him with calcium daily. When I brought him to the vet last week, she told me I shouldn't give him calcium as he could potentially develop bone/hip/joint problems if his bones grow too quickly. Apparently this is more common in large breed dogs. Any thoughts on the conflicting advice?

What is the best food to feed my English Mastiff puppy?

I have been doing a lot of research on what to feed my english mastiff puppy. I am hoping for suggestions from others with mastiffs or giant breeds. I want to feed him a really good quality food at a somewhat reasonable price. Also, I have heard that they only need puppy food until they are 4 months, is this true? I would really appreciate some advice on this issue! Thanks!
