Mastiff dogs

Mastiff dogs by Clemens

Mastiffs will do OK outside, but home is best suited for them. They are very sociable and cannot bear loneliness. Mastiffs can suffer from dry skin, so I recommend a dandruff or tar-based shampoo. Mastiffs get these due to their sheer size and that they use their knees and elbows to raise themselves off the ground. Mastiff's are great dogs and wonderful family companions. They are loyal, lovable, and naturally protective. Mastiff availability is low there, as well as in the US. Yet, clubs and other Mastiff organizations are doing their best to educate the public about these remarkable dogs and stimulate their distribution. Breeders are very proud of the dogs they breed. Mastiff can mean you may even have to consider bigger personal transport if you and the family do a lot of travelling. Consider whether you are prepared to spend the money not only to purchase your Mastiff, but also to house it properly, support it and keep it healthy into its old age. When dogs are judged equal in type, proportion and movement, the more substantial dog, in terms of substance and bone, not merely height, is to be given preference.
