Title: Secrets to Caring For a Mastif
Author: Janine Carter

If you are reading this article, then Mastiffs at least get
your curiosity going. As you are doing your research, you may be
asking yourself if you are really ready for a Mastiff.
Mastiff's, while loving and loyal, pose some unique challenges
for the first time owners. Any dog, regardless of the breed,
takes time, patience, love and training. Because of the Mastiffs
massive size, they require extra time and patience when trying
to train. They can weigh anywhere from 100 to 200 pounds. That's
the weight of an adult human if you think about it. Without
proper training, socialization, limitations and rules, you might
find yourself with a 200 pound animal bounding through your
home. Before you take home that wonderful puppy of your dreams
that will grow in to a loving Mastiff, here are some things to
know about them.

* Mastiffs love to jump and play and require lots of excessive.

* Mastiffs do not like strangers and often show real aggression
towards them.

* Mastiffs are extremely social animals and absolutely love
attention.

If you appreciate these traits of the Mastiff, then he is the
perfect dog for you and your family. Mastiffs require vigorous
daily exercise and in fact taking walks or jogging with him will
greatly increase the bond between you and your canine friend.
Another thing to know is that walking with your Mastiff awakens
a primal migratory instinct within your dog and walking with him
in a heal position will enforce your roll as "pack leader" in
his world. If you can't give your Mastiff regular vigorous
excersise then he may get obese, causing joint pain and other
health problems. Mastiffs thrive on human interaction and
attention which is why it's not good to leave your pet confined
to the basement or backyard. Problems with digging, chewing and
excessive barking can occur if this is the case. As with most
canines, Mastiffs love to please their masters and the people in
their lives, and make excellent pets, despite their huge size.
They have a meek and gentle disposition which allows them to
interact with children very well, even if the children get a
little rough at times.

One must remember that even though Mastiffs have a gentle
dispositon, they do have fighting and/or guard dog roots. Your
Mastiff will require an introduction of all strangers, as they
will not welcome them with open arms without letting them know
its ok to accept a new person. With no introduction Mastiffs
could become aggressive. This wonderful breed makes a loving,
protective pet and with the proper information, all owners will
reap the rewards of this large breed of dog.
