All about English Mastiffs
The Mastiff is a mix of grandeur, dignity, gentleness and courage. It has been nicknamed the Gentle Giant and is calm and affectionate to its master, but capable of protection. If an unfamiliar person approaches near their perceived territory or its master, the Mastiff will immediately position themselves between its master and the stranger. English Mastiffs have earned themselves a spot in the world's top 10 guard dogs. It is exceptionally devoted to its family and good with children.Mastiffs have a longer history than most dogs. Drawings on Egyptian monuments depict typical Mastiffs dating about 3000 BC; in literature, the earliest Mastiff reference occurs 1121 BC. Caesar describes them in his account of invading Britain in 55 B.C., when they fought beside their masters against the Roman legions with such courage and power as to make a great impression.
The Mastiff is part of the AKC (American Kennel Club) working group and comes in three primary colors: fawn, apricot and brindle. In addition to the standard short-hair version, it can come in a long-hair version called a "fluffy".

Fun Facts about Mastiffs
* The English Mastiff -- nicknamed the gentle giant -- is generally considered one of the heaviest breeds. The Mastiff generally comes in at about 180 pounds for grown dogs, but some experts say that they can be as heavy as 220 pounds.* Famous Mastiffs include: "Hercules," a.k.a. "the Beast," from the film The Sandlot and "Goliath," a.k.a. "the Great Fear," from the film The Sandlot 2.
* The Mastiff is documented in Chaucer, who describes them as "large as steer."
* The Mastiff was matched against human gladiators as well as against bulls, bears, lions, and tigers.
* Edwards, S. (1800), wrote in the Cynographia Britannica, London: C. Whittingham:
"What the Lion is to the Cat the Mastiff is to the Dog, the noblest of the family; he stands alone, and all others sinking before him. His courage does not exceed its temper and generosity and in attachment he equals the kindest of his race. His docility is perfect; the teasing of the smaller kinds will hardly provoke him to resent, and I have seen him down with his paw the Terrier or cur that has bit him, without offering further injury. In a family he will permit the children to play with him and will suffer all their little pranks without offence. The blind ferocity of the bulldog will often wound the hand of the master who assists him to combat, but the Mastiff distinguishes perfectly, enters the field with temper, and engages the attack as if confident of success: if he overpowers, or is beaten, his master may take him immediately in his arms and fear nothing. This ancient and faithful domestic, the pride of our island, uniting the useful, the brave and the docile, though sought by foreign nations and perpetuated on the continent, is nearly extinct where he was probably an aborigine, or is bastardized by numberless crosses, everyone of which degenerate from the invaluable character of the parent, who was deemed worthy to enter the Roman amphitheatre and in the presence of the masters of the world, encounter the pard and assail even the lord of the savage tribes, whose courage was sublimed by torrid suns, and found none gallant enough to oppose him on the deserts of Zaara or the plains of Numidia."
