They require a lot of exercise and need a lot of space to run. They can be aggressive with other animals, so proper socialization is important. Mastiffs typically live for eight to ten years.
Mastiffs come in a variety of colors, including black, brindle, fawn, and white. They have a short coat that is easy to care for. They are gentle giants and make great companions. If you are interested in owning a mastiff, be sure to do your research and find a reputable breeder. They are not the right pet for everyone.

GROOMING YOUR
MASTIFF
Grooming a mastiff can be a daunting task, but with a little bit of know-how, it can be a breeze.Start by brushing its coat to remove any dirt or debris. Then, carefully brush through the coat, making sure to get rid of any mats or tangles. Be careful not to brush too hard, as this can damage the coat and skin. Once the coat is brushed out, use a high-quality dog shampoo to wash the dog's body. Be sure to lather the shampoo up well and rinse it off completely. Finally, use a dog conditioner to help keep the coat healthy and shiny. Massage the conditioner into the coat and let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing it off.
