English Mastiff

English Mastiffs are big dogs! You may have seen yesterday’s post about Hercules, the World’s Biggest Dog, he is an English Mastiff.

These magnificent dogs are gentle giants; calm and affectionate with their owners. But predators beware, English Mastiffs are instinctively protective and will stand between their master and danger. This dog breed has been names in the top ten guard dog breeds!

Because of their size, English Mastiffs need a good amount of room for exercise and a carefully managed diet. English Mastiffs seem to have higher obesity rates than other breeds.

This breed makes an excellent family dog and they are good with children. Is the English Mastiff for you if you are choosing a dog breed?
