Temperament |
He is a low to the ground mastiff type dog with power. An ideal
pet that loves the companionship of it's entire family including
children. In no way is he a noisy breed but will warn of strangers.
And while he is more than capable of taking care of himself
he is not a troublemaker but, as a last resort will retaliate.
He does not make a good dog for the obedience enthusiast. |

with children, loves a low-key romp with the kids in the backyard.
Gets along with other pets, but may get aggressive towards other

Regular brushing with a rough cloth and minimal exercise. Care
should be taken not to over feed as he would prefer not to take
any exercise. Special care to powder his fold and wrinkles and
under his tail during hot weather. |

breed description
|
Known as the national symbol
of Great Britain. An ideal pet as he loves to be in the company of his
family. He is a laid-back, loyal good natured and undemanding companion
who would make a great companion for the elderly who do not want to
feel guilty for not walking him or the "couch potato" family.
Contrary to popular belief he does not drool, but he may snore. His
roots are firmly planted in British soil being mentioned in many written
works in history. Shakespeare refers the breed in King Henry, VI. He
has been used as a butcher’s dog to help control oxen, as a guard,
as a hunting dog and for the sport of baiting. He would taken on opponents
such as bulls, bears, badgers and even other dogs in the ring.
