TEMPERAMENT

Temperament of Mastiff is a great family dog that is calm, dignified, good-natured, gentle, loyal, and very fond of children. Because of its giant size, toddlers are in danger of knock-down, and should always be supervised carefully. Mastiffs need a house with a large fenced yard. Some fully grown mastiffs can adapt to apartment living if given regular exercise.

This breed needs lots of companionship and should have early and on-going socialisation and obedience training. This intelligent and good-natured dog responds well to early obedience training and you must be able to control this giant breed with voice commends.

Mastiffs tend to drool and slobber a lot and will wheeze and snore loudly. This breed is naturally protective of its home and family and must be socialised early and often with other dogs to prevent it from becoming combative. Mastiffs make good watch dogs and guard dogs. They should have an experienced owner who knows how to manage them.
