It is one of the heaviest breeds, a male Mastiff can exceed 90 kg. In the eighteenth century described it this way: “What the lion is to a cat, so is the mastiff compared to a dog.”

Being in Britain in times dating back to the Roman invasion, the noble English Mastiff was probably brought to the island by Phoenician traders as early as the sixth century BC Since then, the Mastiff was used as a gladiator in the Roman arenas, in the bloody sport of fighting bulls, bears and other dogs, as well as cattle guards, bodyguards, protectors and companions.

A Mastiff came to America on the Mayflower and subsection other dogs were imported. By the end of World War II, Mastiffs were almost extinct in England. However, imports of fresh U.S. and Canada, race again is well established in England and has gained popularity in North America.

The Mastiff breed is a combination of grandeur, dignity and courage, calm and affectionate to his owner, but able to protect. It is a well-mannered pet but needs plenty of room to stretch his long body. It is an extremely loyal breed and though not showing it too, is loyal to his family and is very good with children.

However, it can be quite zealous in protecting their owners and must be handled sensibly, since it is exceptionally powerful and can be difficult to control. When a visitor “unrecognizable” enters the home, the Mastiff will usually be between the owner and the visitor until their master has recognized the visitor in a way that appears to show compassion or friendly.
