Description
The Neapolitan Mastiff is a gentle giant, a watchful and devoted guardian whose imposing presence belies a surprisingly sensitive soul. Mastinos are deeply bonded to their families, often shadowing their loved ones with a surprising quietness for such a substantial dog. Their massive jowls and loose skin, a legacy of ancient protection roles, give them a wise and somewhat mournful expression. While they are usually calm indoors, they possess a strong protective instinct, making them naturally wary of strangers. Patience and consistent, gentle training are crucial to harnessing their impressive power and ensuring they are well-mannered companions, rather than overwhelming forces.
