Pictures can be found here. These big, powerful, (slobbery) dogs are gentle giants. They are guard dogs, though they rarely bark. They need to be socialized well, and also need a calm and confidant owner.
Mastiffs are one of the heaviest breeds of dogs; their weight can exceed 200 pounds. They live about 10-12 years. Mastiffs are prone to bloating, and their owners must watch out for hip displysia among other ailments.
These dogs like to be lazy, but they do need a daily walk at least. They will do okay in apartments since they are pretty inactive indoors. Their short, smooth coat is easy to groom, and Mastiffs are average shedders.
Overall, Mastiffs are sweet, intelligent dogs that are very affectionate.
