The English Mastiff is an emigrant from Foggy Albion and a representative of one of the oldest dog breeds. This powerful defender is famous for his brave heart and unshakable self-confidence – such valuable qualities he inherited from distant ancestors. It’s hard not to pay attention to these impressive and powerful dogs!
Mastiffs, sometimes referred to as Old English Mastiffs, take their name from the Latin word mansuetude, meaning “tame” or “domesticated.”
The Latin word was eventually transformed via Old French and Middle English into the word mastiff, which was first recorded in Middle English in a work written before 1387.
The breed has come a long way since the days when they fought in battle or were pitted against lions and other wild animals.
