Summary
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.
About Auvergne Pointer (Braque d'Auvergne)
Medium French pointing dog with black‑and‑white “ink splash” coat, calm yet athletic. Sensitive, affectionate and people‑oriented, it bonds closely with its family. A versatile hunter needing 1.5–2 hours of daily activity, it is rare outside France but valued for its rustic, working character.
