Mastiff is a large powerful dog that has a droopy face who loves to drool on the floor and your clothes when she comes over for a pat. She is an extremely protective family member and will challenge all intruders but is the biggest sook to those she loves.
Hagrid's dog, Fang from the Harry Potter movies is the most famous mastiff in the world.
Hey man, that mastiff is massive, can I give her a pat?
135 pounds of short-hair nasty that will cause strangers to shit their pants while at the same time lick the hand of their owner and devour any vermin that walks its way. The PERFECT porch dog! Gets respect at the vet (you KNOW what I mean). Little girls back away, then when you say, "No, it's friendly," smother the dog with huggs. It's why you love dogs in the first place!!
