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 Griffon Nivernais
The Griffon Nivernais is an ancient French, medium‑sized scenthound with a shaggy grey‑fawn coat and rustic look. Bred for boar and deer, it’s energetic outdoors yet calm and affectionate at home. Sociable with other dogs, it needs ample exercise, mental work and gentle, patient training.
