There is a reason I just love Mastiffs!
Just look at this big cuddly fellow. He recently protected his family from a burgler that tried to invade the home while his owner was in the bath. With the father upstairs and his 8 year old daughter alone and unprotected downstairs, things could have gone horribly wrong.
Fortunately for the familly ( but not for the prospective home invader) the familly dog Cromwell, a 300+ pound English Mastiff, was peacefully chillin in the back yard garden, at the time.
The only warning his owner had was a deafening roar followed by the screams of the would be intruder. By the time his owner could get downstairs, all that was left of the criminal was a chewed up t-shirt. The burgler himself had dissapeared behind the cloud of burning rubber as he escaped in his van.
Good Dog!
Cromwell, was just doing what comes naturally. Mastiffs are known for being excellent family pets and natural guard dogs. They are peaceful, bark rarely and are very gentle with kids and those that they know well. They are very protective of the ones they love, however, and the combination of size and a deafening bark will scare away all but the most fearless of intruders. Better still, they are bred to challenge and chase away, not to attack imediately thus eliminating the worry of your pet accidentaly injuring a neighbor or mailman.
Did I mention I love Mastiffs?
