Summary
About Neapolitan Mastiff
Ancient Italian giant guardian with massive build and heavy wrinkles. Calm and affectionate with family, wary of strangers, and protective by nature. Needs early training, steady leadership, moderate daily walks, and careful skin and drool care due to size and loose folds.
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.
