Re: whats the largest mastiff breed? Posted by michael on May 12, 2009, 4:03 pm, in reply to "whats the largest mastiff breed?" The dosa is a bunch of junk . why would you want one of them ? Just get a neo or get a tosa if that is where you are leaning towards. But for me I would get a presa canario. The fila may be to much dog for the average person to handle not saying that you can't I'm just saying in general. Also don't forget about the rottweiler either they can still be a great gaurd dog if you find a good one.  Post a Response

I have met all of those in person(not to say that they were the largest specimen) but in my opinion largest Mastiff I have seen is a Boerboel in the way of width although I met a Bull Mastiff that came pretty close. But the tallest dog I have ever seen was a Pyrenean Mastiff.  Post a Response

Re: whats the largest mastiff breed? Posted by ColdCoct on May 20, 2009, 2:19 pm, in reply to "Re: whats the largest mastiff breed?" The biggest non-English mastiff I've ever seen was a Boerboel in Ft. Collins, CO at a weight pull. He was in the back seat of a Honda accord with his tail out one window and his head completely out the other. Bull Mastiff's are a cool guard dog, big enough to handle most anything and aren't necessarily going to attack the intruder. It might be hard to find a working Bull Mastiff breeder though. Disclaimer: The size of the Mastiff isn't as important as the context. In my opinion a 100 Rottweiler with gusto is twice as effective as a 150 Tosa without it. I'd consider the line first: - any titles or proven ability in the line - family history of working - how much time/money you are willing to invest in training guarding skills is MOST IMPORTANT.  Post a Response
