About Mastiff
|
Country of Origin, History of the breed
Found in Britain at the
time of the Roman invasion, the Old English
Mastiff may have been taken to England by
Phoenician traders in the 6th century BC.
When Ceasar invaded Britain in 55 BC, they
fought beside their masters with courage
and power. The Mastiff has been used as
an arena gladiator by the Romans to combat
bulls, bears, and other dogs. Other uses
of the Mastiff have included sheep guardian,
bodyguard, protector, and companion.
One story says that a
Mastiff was on the Mayflower. Today Mastiffs
are used for watchdogging, guarding, police
work, military work, search and rescue,
and weight pulling.

A General Appearance of
the Dog
“As a lion is to a cat,
so is a mastiff compared to a dog.” Mastiffs
are true gentle little giants. The English Mastiff
is one of the heaviest breeds and is extremely heavy
for his short stature. Mastiffs can exceed 200 pounds!
The Mastiff is short, stocky,
and muscular. It is a rectangular-looking dog with
a large, square head with jowls and a short muzzle.
Its skin fits tightly over its body and its tail
hangs down to about the knee. Massive but with an
impression of nobility or grandeur is the best description
of the Mastiff.
Coat Color
The Mastiff coat color is fawn,
apricot, or brindle. The brindle should have fawn
or apricot as a background color so that it appears
striped. A small patch of white may appear on the
chest.
Coat Type
The Mastiff has a double coat.
The outer coat is straight, coarse and moderately
short. The undercoat is dense, short, and lies close
to the body. There should be no fringe on the belly,
tail or legs.
Height
Male: at least 30”
Female: at least 27”
Weight
Males: 160 lbs and up
Females: 150 lbs and up
Personality
Temperament of the Dog
The Mastiff is self-confident and good-natured toward
his family and those he knows well. He is intelligent
and dignified. He can be calm and steady. If well
socialized and trained, he will be a hard-worker.
The English Mastiff rarely barks,
except to defend its territory or family. They love
to please and want lots of companionship.
The degree of dominance varies
greatly. Some Mastiffs are aloof with strangers
while others are fairly friendly.
If properly raised and well socialized,
Mastiffs will not be aggressive. Just remember that
they are very loyal and very protective. If raised
around children, Mastiffs will do fine with them.
However, because of their mass, they are not safe
around small children.
Mastiffs do not need to be taught
to defend. Never hit a Mastiff; you will be sorry
as he will probably attack you and he will come
out of the fight alive. Mastiffs can hold an intruder
at bay or attack him. He will be combative with
dogs he is not raised with.
Mastiffs drool, wheeze, and snore.
Better suited to an indoor
or outdoor lifestyle?
The Mastiff should be allowed
to stay in the house, especially when the weather
is cold or hot and humid. He likes to be near his
owner.
They need a very securely fenced
yard for running and playing.
Are they suited to homes
with kids?
If properly raised and well socialized,
Mastiffs will not be aggressive. Just remember that
they are very loyal and very protective. If raised
around children, Mastiffs will do fine with them.
However, because of their mass, they are not safe
around small children.
Activity
Level
How Active is the Breed?
This is not a terrifically active
breed. They are so heavy and have some breathing
issues with their weight and broad, deep chest and
short muzzle.
They need a very securely fenced
yard for running and playing. They like an occasional
walk but cannot take long or brisk walks.
How Much Exercise Does
the Dog Need at every stage of its Life?
The Mastiff can live in an apartment,
but must have some walks – just not long walks
or brisk walks. They are fairly quiet indoors. They
like spending time outside so a small, securely
fenced yard is sufficient.
Grooming
The Old English Mastiff’s
smooth, short-haired coat is easy to groom. Brush
with a firm bristle brush and wipe over with a piece
of toweling or chamois for a slick, shiny finish.
Bathe or dry shampoo when necessary. This breed
is an average shedder. Trim his toenails monthly.
Health
and Care
Some problems include cancer,
epilepsy, cruciate ligament rupture and cystinnuria.B
oth hip and elbow dysplasia are common. There are
a number of eye problems that are seen in this breed:
cataracts, distichiasis, both ectropion and entropion,
macroblepharon, progressive retinal atrophy (PRA),
and retinal dysplasia.
Genetic Problems
Hip dysplasia causes problems
to this heavy breed. They are also prone to bloat
(gastric torsion), so feed them two to three times
per day. They are also prone to CHD, ectropion,
PPM, vaginal hyperplasia, elbow dysplasia, and PRA.
Some cardiomyopathy is seen.
Breeding the Dog and any
Cautions
These dogs can have trouble breeding
and whelping because of their mass.
Life Span: The
average life of a Mastiff is 10-12 years.
