The English Mastiff is considered a Giant Breed, with massive jaws, a large head, muscular body and long legs. Best known to many, as the Mastiff from the movie Sandlot, portraying a vicious guard dog. They did start life fighting, against gladiators and beasts in the violent battles of arenas for royalty’s amusement.  Later fighting at these soldiers’ sides, they were willing to give their life to protect them. Next those skills were used to guard property of wealthy landowners to warn off poachers and workhorses for craftsmen. Finally they were recognized as loving, faithful and protective companions for the whole family.

These seemingly scary beasts are actually friendly goofballs, affectionately called house hippos, preferring to spend their time cuddling on the couch with you! They do have some traits that test their fur parents a bit; excessive drool-they are #1 in the that category! Their protective instincts result in plenty of barking to alert you of changes in your surroundings, and they only shed 4 times a year- Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter. What you get back from a Mastiff more than makes up for their faults; 200lbs of unbelievable loyalty, an excellent bodyguard and best friend and a never ending source of love, pouring from those soul searching eyes.
