Description
Dog Breed: English Mastiff. I'm Major. And let's just get the obvious out of the way first: I am HUGE. I'm a three-year-old English Mastiff, and I came in the extra-large size. Big paws, big head, big presence — and an even bigger heart to match. When you're built like me, you learn pretty quick that the gentlest souls often come in the largest packages. Now let me tell you how I got here, because it matters. I came from a breeder — an AKC breeder who, once I'd served my purpose, let me go. That's the honest truth of it. I spent my time being what someone else needed me to be, and then I was surrendered, just like that. Through no fault of my own, I had to start over. But none of that changed who I am at my core, which is this: a big, sweet, people-loving boy. I'm crate trained and house trained, so my manners at home are solid. I'm great with kids, great with other dogs, and friendly with everyone I meet. I'm a gentle giant in the truest sense. I'll be honest about one thing I'm still working on — my leash manners. When you're my size and you're excited, you've got a lot of enthusiasm to organize, and I haven't fully figured out the "walking politely" thing yet. But I'm trying, and with a patient person and a little practice, I'll get there. I'm a good boy who wants to do right. What I'm looking for is a family who sees past my size to the softie underneath — someone to give me a real home, finish teaching me the ropes, and love me like I was always meant to be loved. I'm done being someone's means to an end. I'm ready to just be a big, happy, well-loved dog. Could that be with you? AZ Mastiff Rescue Phoenix, Arizona Adopt to all states.

Breed overview
Overview:
A mongrel, mutt, or mixed-breed dog, is a dog that is not the result of breeding within an existing breed or to modify or create a breed and belongs to no breed. In the United States, the term "mixed-breed" is a favored synonym over "mongrel" among many who wish to avoid negative connotations associated with the latter term. The implication that such dogs must be a mix of defined breeds may stem from an inverted understanding of the origins of dog breeds. Pure breeds have been, for the most part, artificially created from random-bred populations by human selective breeding with the purpose of enhancing desired physical, behavioral, or temperamental characteristics. Dogs that are not purebred are not necessarily a mix of such defined breeds. Therefore, among experts and fans of such dogs, "Mongrel" is still the preferred term.
