Spanish Mastiff
The Spanish Mastiff is a majestic and powerful breed, originally bred in Spain to guard livestock against predators. Known for their calm, dignified, and intelligent nature, they are highly devoted to their family but may be wary of strangers and other dogs. With proper socialization, they are affectionate and easygoing, forming strong bonds with their owners. Their protective instincts make them excellent watchdogs, but early training is crucial to prevent overprotectiveness and aggression. Despite their large size, they have moderate exercise needs and require regular grooming to maintain their short, thick coat. They thrive in homes with secure yards.
