Quick breed overview

The Mastiff, despite a history of guarding and fighting, is pleasantly calm and easy to get along with. The most major disadvantage of caring, feeding, and training this breed is its massive size. A Mastiff enjoys contact, ideally human company, and is willing to give devotion and love. It is smart and teachable, but it requires an owner with both knowledge and fitness to maintain strong command and guarantee that its defending tendencies do not lead to aggression.
