Mastiffs are my favorite. Our Cane Corso Mastiff passed away last year.



Well it fits her because she is very goofy.
Goofy ones are my favorites. My newfie mix is known as the goofy newfie. I don't think his goofy face is as good as hers, though. That tongue kind of tops it off.

Okay, I’ll have to post some pics now, too. I’ll have to hunt the up off Maria’s FB feed For now, I present Sir Isaac. He thinks he’s a dog, so it counts.

Their farts are the WORST though... LOL! :hilarious:. At least ours had that problem. Mastiff's are very loyal dogs. The Boerboel is a bit unpredictable with strangers, I'm not sure if you also find that to be a common Mastiff trait? :rolleyes::D

They can be.

Mastiffs bond really close with their families and in return become very protective of their families and homes.

They typically are very friendly but also very protective.

They naturally will fight to the death to protect their families. It's what makes them such great family guard dogs. Good with kids also.

Our mastiff and now her puppy (the goofball pictured above) has a panic attack when my son gets on the school bus every morning.

She is wonderful. She is very much wolf in behavior compared to the Husky, but she loves people. Especially woman. My daughter in law is coming to Romania to visit tomorrow and I know Alpha will not leave her alone :D

  1. Lol. My brother's girlfriend has a hybrid, & she's absolutely in love with my brother. She wants all of his attention, & if she doesn't get it, she cries (wolf-like sounds). She can't stand him giving the other dogs attention! It's like she's imprinted on him, now she owns him! :D

I know that they need a lot of space, right? At least that's what I've read & seen on television. They say that if they don't have enough space to roam, they start to wreck things in your house, or they dig holes under fences, crawl underneath, & then run away. :eek:

A lady that studies wolf behaviour says that wolves only bond with their owners by exploring with them, i.e. taking them for long walks & such. Domesticated dogs will always show affection & will always bond with you given any circumstance, but wolves will only do that, given the above scenario? How true that is, I'm not certain. I don't own wolves myself. Perhaps you will know? :happy:

He's so adorable! I've never seen a cat in person acting like a dog...:D. I'm familiar with Maine Coons acting like dogs? Lol.
He goes out with the dogs, begs for attention like the dogs. He sounds like a cat and looks like a cat, but I'm not convinced. I think we confused him - he's too big for cat collars, so has to wear a dog collar.

She is small for a pyr but large for a border collie weighing in at 110lbs. She was a rescue and highly recommend the breed of dog. VERY protective of my wife and our home. Here she and my wife prepare lunch
