Rare Breed Mastiff Discussions / Spanish Mastiff (Mastin Español)

In another topic it was said, that the Spanish Mastiff is called Pyrenean Mastif
I would like to clarify a bit
The Spanish Mastiff (Mastín Español) and the Pyrenean Mastiff (Mastin del Pirineo) are two different breeds!

Both breeds are indeed adorable, but they are both true livestock guardian dogs with strong flock guardian instincts.
Spanish Mastiffs are intelligent, quite independent and they are capable to work (guard animals or territory) on their own.
They have been bred for centuries to guard the sheep in the mountains in Spain, and they are guard dogs by instinct, not by training.
They can have a will of their own, can be stubborn (in a sweet way), not easily obedience trained, and they can be heavy barkers, especially at night.
The breed is definitely not suitable for living in apartments or small backyards - they need space, and they prefer to be outdoor (have access to be outdoor when they want to).
They love their family, the children and other animals within the family, but can be rather dismissive of strangers (people and animals).
They are not especially dog aggressive, at least not on neutral grounds, probably on their own territory.
This is the basic character of the breed - of course there can be differences in characters from dog to dog, depending on blood lines, upbringing, socialization etc.

YES, they drool - and snore
Added later: they also slobber - step on your feet and think they are lab dogs

I am Sally, and I live in Denmark.
I have a Spanish Mastiff male at 2½ years old, and a female Vizsla, who will be 11 in a few days.
I think this is a great site, and I look forward to visit again!

Hi Carrie - and all!
I have a Spanish Mastiff too. A male called 'Toro' 2½ years old.
There are some photos of him at my website 'Mastin Español International'
I would love to see pics of Draco too. Where does he come from, and where do you live?
Terrible story about his father being shot! How did that happen? - and why on earth shoot a Spanish Mastiff?
