Summary
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.
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.
