Quick Overview of the Mastiff Working Dog<\/h3>\n

The Mastiff Working Dog is one of the most ancient types of dog breeds, as their ancestors, the Molossus, were known for 5,000 years, and back then they were ferocious war dogs. Mastiffs are sometimes called the old English Mastiffs. This breed of dog is known for being very intelligent and is great socially rather than some dogs.<\/p>\n

History of this Dog Breed?<\/h2>\n

This massive type of breed was mainly used for guard and fighting dogs in England for more than 2000 years, an amazing type of breed to say the least. This dog breed was found in European and Asian records, and this was dating back to 3000BC. They mainly functioned as war and guardians, as this is what they did for quite some time.<\/p>\n

The Roman invaders of England sent the English Mastiff to compete in the arenas of ancient Rome. This dog was pitted against Bears, Lions, Bulls, and other dogs, as well as human gladiators. The breed was also fought in the later bullbaiting and bearbaiting rings of England.<\/p>\n
