Mastiff
Mastiffs (120-230 pounds) are gentle, protective, and calm, ideal for families with space. They’re excellent with kids but need supervision due to size. Moderate exercise (1-2 hours daily, walks) suits them; their short coat needs minimal brushing.
Feed 6-8 cups daily of Royal Canin Giant Breed Adult Dry Dog Food, with 23% protein and glucosamine for joint health, as Mastiffs are prone to bloat. Split meals to prevent gastric issues. Primarily indoor dogs with yard access, they’re not for apartments or hot climates.
Training manages their size. Perfect for dedicated owners, Mastiffs thrive with gentle leadership, not for small homes or high-energy needs.
