What the Lion is to the
Cat
the Mastiff is to the Dog,
the noblest of the family;
he stands alone,
aand all others sink before
him.
Cynographia Britannica -
1800
The English Mastiff
is a large, powerful
and majestic dog that
has a very rich and
colorful history, dating
back many centuries.
The English Mastiff
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 English
Mastiff 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. Grand,
but very good-natured;
courageous yet docile
and very dignified,
the English Mastiff
is a sturdy companion
and protection dog measuring
30 or more inches at
the shoulder (females
2-1/2 inches less).
The English Mastiff'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.
