About Mastiff

The Mastiff is a giant, heavily built guardian dog, calm and dignified yet deeply devoted to its family. It is watchful rather than aggressive, needs gentle, consistent training, moderate exercise, and space. Its short coat is easy to maintain, but drool, health care, and costs are significant.
