Immense joy, love, & protection…that’s the English Mastiff.

Sure, the breed dates back to the Romans where they were taken from the English and bred as war dogs.

BUT if socialized and trained properly, they can be a fantastic, loving family dog with just the right amount of protectiveness.

Watch out for the shedding though and be ready for their size. If you don’t train them to respect leash pressure and boundaries early, you’ll be real mad at yourself when they reach 180 to 220 pounds.

Not sure what dog breed is for you? I am breaking down the best and worst dogs for different lifestyles over the coming weeks. View all eps on my page.

Got a new pup that needs training? We got you. Come to our location in Glyndon, Maryland! Inquire at @wildeacresmd or email us at office@wildeacresmd.com.
