Mastiff

Worthy and brave, the Mastiff is calm and gentle unlike his tough appearance. No matter how much space is allocated to him, he is able to adapt to any situation.

However, he is totally unaware of his great power and imposing size. It is preferable to always supervise him, especially in the presence of very young children. This hound is very gentle, but he could still hurt them without intending to.

The Mastiff is a very gentle and peaceful dog. With a calm and neutral temperament, this dog loves children. He can play with them without ever becoming aggressive or dominant.

Very loyal, he has only one master and he will obey him all his life.

He loves to play and exercise and never gets tired of it. He is adorable with humans, but when he is in the presence of other dogs, you must limit the length of the game. After some time, the Mastiff may want to dominate his fellow dogs and due to his great power, play can become more problematic. However, with humans, he can play all day long without ever becoming dominant.

Being neither aggressive nor angry, this dog loves gentleness and caresses. A firm but calm order will be very effective, no force or aggression is necessary to teach him the rules of the house.

Even if the Mastiff is not an aggressive dog, his attitude can sometimes give the impression that he is. He is an excellent guard dog. He will warn at the slightest sign of intrusion. He will bark to give the alarm but will not go any further, his job is to warn, not to fix the situation.

This large-breed dog can adapt as easily in an apartment than in a large house in the country. His adaptability is amazing. Even though he is very large, he takes up very little space indoors. He will be able to make himself very small if needed.
