Overview: | The Neapolitan Mastiff was first bred by the Romans for use in war and fighting in the arena. They are best for dominant owners with experience training strong dogs. |
Breed Group: | Working |
Weight (lbs): | 150-200 |
Height (in): | 24-30 |
Colors: | Blue, black, mahogany and tawny. Some brindling allowable. |
Coat: | The coat is short, smooth and thick |
Character: | The Neapolitan Mastiff is intelligent, but can be strong willed. They are generally calm, if not provoked. |
Temperament: | The female Neapolitan Mastiffs are better with children. Males are more dominant, but will get along with other pets, if they are raised together from puppies. Two males generally aren't a good choice, as they will fight for dominance. |
Care: | The coat only needs the occasional brushing and infrequent bath. |
Training: | Neapolitan Mastiffs need obedience training with a trainer experienced with dominant dogs. |
Activity: | This breed needs to be walked twice each day. Avoid rough play when the puppy is young to ensure a calmer adult. |
