Neapolitan Mastiffs

The Italian Neapolitan is not the best-looking dog. The sagging skin on its jowl doesn’t add to its aesthetic appeal. But this mastiff makes up for the looks with its sweet disposition. Indeed, it’s ideal for a family with children because it displays remarkable patience with kids. But please ensure proper training and socialization first. Due to its sheer size and intimidating strength it can pose a threat if it doesn’t know boundaries.  At about 30 inches tall and 150 pounds, it’s a strong breed. History buffs will know they were a common sight in the Roman army. This gentle giant was also a guard dog for the wealthy.
