Mastiffs should show neither excessive curiosity, nor aggressiveness towards strangers. These dogs are devoted companions and in fact, are rather dependent on their owners. Mastiffs follow their masters whenever s/he stands up. They seem to be always in need of their owners' contact.

Mastiffs are believed to be a one-man dog. They accept other family members including children. Best relationships between Mastiffs and children are those that have been developed from a Mastiff's early age. Young children should be taught how to interact with large dogs.

Life Expectancy: 8-12 years
Major Health Concerns: Hip and elbow dysplasia, eye problems, obesity, delivery difficulties.

Mastiffs are not always good with other pets. You will hardly ever see them playing with other dogs all the more with same sex ones. These giants of the canine world are rather dominant and will not let anyone rule them. However, some Mastiffs are reported to do OK with cats on the condition they have been raised together.

Mastiffs - Pictures - Learning Abilities

Mastiffs should be exposed to obedience training from an early age. They are rather intelligent and are eager to learn. Some Mastiff owners easily achieve results and stop training sessions too early. Commands should be repeated from time to time to make sure that a Mastiff remembers them. Otherwise, Mastiffs tend to leave some commands unnoticed.
