Description
Living with a Mastiff is like sharing your home with a gentle giant who believes they are a lapdog. These colossal canines are surprisingly quiet and deeply devoted, forming an unbreakable bond with their families. They crave companionship and can be quite sensitive, often sulking if they feel left out. Their protective instincts, honed over centuries, emerge in a calm, watchful manner, rarely aggressive but always aware. While they're content to lounge gracefully, the Mastiff possesses a stubborn streak, and an independent mind means patience and consistent, gentle guidance are essential. Drool is a daily reality, a small price for such unwavering love.
