What the Lion is to the Cat
the Mastiff is to the Dog,
the noblest of the family; he stands
alone,
and all others sink before him.
Cynographia Britannica - 1800
 These
large, powerful and majestic dogs have a very rich and colorful
history, dating back many centuries.
The
English
Mastiff dog is thought to have descended from large mastiff-type
dogs brought to Britain by the Phoenician traders as far back as the
6th century B.C. These dogs were crossed with local fighting dogs,
and their offspring were used to hunt Wolves, and later as
combatants in various blood sports, including fighting the lion and
the bear. When the Romans arrived, they were so impressed with the
Mastiff breed that they often took the dogs back to their arenas in
Rome. The first and second World Wars reduced the breed's numbers in
their British homeland, and there are presently more English
Mastiffs in the United States than there are in its country of
origin.
Thinking of adding an
English Mastiff puppy to your family? Grand, but very
good-natured; courageous yet docile and very dignified, the Mastiff
is a sturdy companion and protection dog measuring 30 or more inches
at the shoulder (females 2-1/2 inches less). It's coat is short and
dense and comes in shades of apricot, silver fawn or dark
fawn-brindle, all with darker muzzle, ears and nose. Regular,
thorough brushing is all the grooming necessary.
