Description
Dog Breed: Neapolitan Mastiff (short coat). Please meet our handsome mahogany boy GUIDO. His coloring is the rarest in the Neapolitan Mastino Breed. Guido and Gino were found roaming in Texas months back. Right before their fate was about to end a local rescue pulled them not knowing what breed they really were. Guido is well socialized, walks great on leash, is house trained and crate trained. He is believed to be approximately 4 to 5 years old. Guido is basically an easy gentlemen that just wants to be close to his humans and a soft bed to crash on. If you are interested in Guido please go to our website at Mastino-Rescue-Inc and complete a family profile. Or you can drop us an email at Mastinorescueincgmail with any questions.

Overview:
The Neapolitan Mastiff, or "Neo," is an ancient and imposing breed originating from Southern Italy, specifically the Naples region. Descended from Roman war dogs, their primary role historically was as a formidable guardian of property and livestock. Physically, they are undeniably striking: immense, powerfully built dogs characterized by their loose, wrinkled skin, particularly around the head and dewlap, and a massive, broad skull. Their coat is short and dense, typically coming in grey, black, blue, or mahogany, often with brindle markings. Despite their intimidating appearance, Neos are known for their surprisingly calm, loyal, and affectionate nature with their families. They are generally patient and protective of children within their own household but require early socialization due to their natural guarding instincts. Due to their sheer size and need for space, they are not typically suited for apartment living and thrive in homes with secure, ample outdoor areas. Health-wise, potential owners should be aware of a predisposition to certain conditions common in giant breeds, such as hip and elbow dysplasia, cherry eye, and bloat, necessitating responsible breeding practices and veterinary care.
