Summary
About Basset Artésien Normand
Medium French scent hound with short legs, long sturdy body and gentle, noble expression. Affectionate, calm at home and sociable with dogs, but driven by scent outdoors. Needs moderate exercise, positive training, secure fencing and regular care for ears, weight, back and joints.
About Spanish Mastiff
Large, powerful livestock guardian, calm and observant yet strongly protective. Quiet and laid back at home if well exercised, deeply loyal with family and usually reserved with strangers. Independent and thoughtful, it suits experienced owners with space, structure and early socialisation.
