Your Mastiff will become a most loyal friend when the relationsship is based on mutual respect |

The English Mastiff - in short
The mastiff is the ideal family dog for those with enough space, the wish for a loyal, large and good friend, and a good portion of tolerance for snoring and drooling.
On this website you will find information about the heaviest dog breed on the planet.
Many people think of mastiffs as slow and a bit clumsy giants, but this isn't quite so. Some mastiffs are rather fast and can outrun any human being. Then again, others really are slow and lazy,
doing not more than they have to in order to survive. However, the breed must be characterized as calm and laid back.
If the mastiff sees something that catches his interest (A CAT!), he really wakes up! He has the ability to impress anyone with great power, strength and speed.

Mastiffs aren't well known for good results in obedience classes. Neither are agility or tracking typical areas for the breed. It is important for the owner of the dog to be aware of these facts. You normally don't expect the same behaviour from a mastiff as you do from a Border Collie.
A Mastiff is smart in his own way, but the relaxed personality isn't what you're looking for in the mentioned activities. There are, however, examples on Mastiffs being excellent obedience dogs. |
