Dog breed of the week: Mastiff

On this week's topic of giant dogs, I am pleased to feature Mastiff! This giant breed is all Crouch and power on the outside, but inside it is lovable, mushy companion-and often a bit of a couch potato. I can not help but fall in love with each hulking and slobbery Mastiff I se. However, this is certainly not the right dog for everyone.

Some thoughts, if you're considering getting a Mastiff: you should probably make around a "drool-rag" and duck when a head shake comes. You must protect people and objects from that massive tail (and protect the tail from injuries). Plus, you need some extra cash in giant-size dog supplies.

Despite the so-called disadvantages, I would have bet that very few (if any) Mastiff lovers really remember. It is difficult not to fall for such a lovely beast. Now, here is your chance to show your Mastiff-submit your Mastiff history!
