Breeds for New Owners

10 Best Mastiff

Intro

Mastiffs are totally awesome dog breeds and with 22 to choose from the decision can be quite difficult.

These giants can reach anywhere from 71-86cm (28-34in) sans the huge frame (it's more of a lanky and sometimes clownish appearance).

Great Dane

Cane Corso

These Italian Mastiffs need lots of training and exercise and their mental development shouldn't be underestimated.

Dogo Argentino

While the Dogo is generally good around family, they need a strict training regimen from day one.

Breed 3

The Broholmer's large head, statue, and color are reminiscent of the Boerboel or Bullmastiff. These big Danish boys and girls definitely don't have to hide behind their more common counterparts from South Africa and Great Britain.

Lined Circle

5. Presa Canario

The low, deep bark paired with a balanced temperament and high confidence makes the Presa Canario suitable for guarding.
