Mastiffs
As I understand it there are a number of breeds that fall in to the category of "Mastiff" - Neapolitan, Cane Corso, Spanish, English and Bullmastiff to name but a few.
Ones that particularly interest me are the English Mastiff, French Mastiff or Dogue de Bordeaux and the Neapolitan Mastiff. Over the years, I've seen a few of these dogs although they're not at all common in the area where I live. Although I've never had any personal experience of them, I hope at some time in the future I may get to have one stay with us for a while as a guest!
Quite by chance, in August 2013 I had the opportunity to meet and play with Jesse, a 10 year old English Mastiff who came into the care of the Great Dane Adoption Society following the death of his owner....

If you own a Mastiff breed and have photographs you'd like to share but don't have a website, I'd be happy to post them on this page if you email me the pictures. Also, any advice or comments from Mastiff owners would be appreciated too!
