Not surprisingly the huge English Mastiff dog was used - as early as the
sixth century BC - for various “fighting” purposes. He was
indispensible in many of the blood sports that have become
legendary, including bear-baiting, bull-baiting,
lion-baiting (believe it or not!) as well as dog fighting.

The English Mastiff breed is an incredible intermingling of
grandeur, dignity and courage. He is perhaps to those who
don’t fully understand the breed, the ultimate paradox of
dogs. Loyal, calm, affectionate and loving toward his
family, he is a first-class guardian as well, ferocious,
tenacious and fearless when the need arises. As stunning
evidence of this, an English Mastiff instinctively
positions himself between his owner and a stranger when an
unknown person approaches the family’s “territory.”
