Description
Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Mastiff / Mixed (medium coat). Bertha would do best as the only animal in the household, no other animals is a must! Bertha LOVES to play fetch! This girl could undoubtedly go for hours and she is an exceptional playmate. She will fetch her toy, drop it at your feet and never try to grab it back while youâre picking it up. She knows sit and lie down and seems to be very obedient and loving. She's super friendly, and we think she would be a wonderful companion for an active person who loves to play with their dog. We also think she would be great on hikes! From Bertha's Day Hike Volunteer: OK... Bertha. Noticeable improvement. We started on the side streets and worked our way back to the Chandler bike path. Bertha watches every dog, and if they bark, she'll bark. She will also occasionally bark if she doesn't like the look of a dog, but she mostly seems to be matching energy. I posted pics and a short video to IG and tagged the VBAS (link below). She is best described as Bertha: very important executive pup. She is highly focused, dedicated, passionate, and motivated. She is always on alert, ready to micromanage the most mundane task. But... after we walked off some of her energy (2%, tops), she was happy to sit under a shady tree in the cool dirt and just be in the moment. And she is a champ in the car. So great getting in and out, and an excellent traveller. Bertha, Bertha, Bertha. I have learned a lot from her. She's big, she's strong, and she's reactive to a lot of things. Therefore, I respect her needs and walk her on quiet side streets, keep other dogs 10 to 15 away, and avoid cyclists altogether. This strategy makes for a lovely, loose leash walking experience. She's happy, I'm happy, and the lovely folks we meet (sans dogs/bikes/scary things) are happy. We take our walks slowly, allowing her to sniff at her leisure. Most importantly, I have learned that you have to earn Bertha's love. Peyton mentioned that when she shows Bertha in the yard, she isn't interested in the humans (just throw the darn ball, already!). She's been at the shelter for 15 months, and humans are essentially part-time, temporary, and transactional. However, earn her trust, earn her love, and she'll open up and return that love. It's a wonderful experience.

Breed overview
Overview:
The Mastador is a cross between a purebred Mastiff and a purebred Labrador Retriever. They are called hybrid dogs due to their origination from two different pure breeds. The Mastador is a large dog that can stand from 28 to 36 inches and weigh anywhere between 100 to 200 pounds or more. These dogs are alert, cheerful, loyal and social. They are very strong dogs that have brown, expressive eyes and strong muscular legs. These dogs are suitable for families with older children as they get excited and may knock over small children by accident. These dogs are social and get along well with other dogs and pets. They are loyal and protective of their family and make very good companion dogs. They can fit into apartment life is sufficient exercise and running opportunities are provided although they would ideally need a house with a fenced yard.
