Personality
The Englian Mastiff dogs are very loyal and protective dogs. They are loving and affectionate and highly intelligent dogs that are good with all family members. Due to their protective nature, they are wary of strangers and will need early obedience training and socialization training. They are very efficient guard dogs. They may alert the family of an intruder or they may follow and pin the intruder and then alert the family. They are very good and patient with children although supervision is necessary as these large dogs are not aware of their own size. Also, children friends are also children and they are always wary of strangers. This can potentially lead to disastrous situation. These dogs may show willful behavior and would require gentle, loving and positive techniques to get them out of their willful behavior. These large dogs are not for first time owners. But for those who have them, they are like giant teddy Bears.
