Neapolitan Mastiff

The Neapolitan Mastiff is a massive and powerful breed, originally from Italy, known for its distinctive wrinkled skin, short fur, and muscular build. Despite their intimidating appearance, they are gentle giants who form strong bonds with their families, offering protection and loyalty. Early socialization and training are crucial to ensure they interact well with others and avoid aggression towards unknown dogs. They are generally low-maintenance in terms of exercise, content with short walks and leisurely activities. Due to their independent nature, they respond best to positive reinforcement and consistent training, making them a better fit for experienced pet owners.
