PERSONALITY
A true 'Gentle Giant', the Giant Maso Mastiff not only has more than 75% of Old English Mastiff in its bloodline, it actually displays the calm and gentle character that the Old English Mastiff is known for. This dog is very loving, affectionate, loyal and alert that is intelligent and dignified. It is calm, steady and docile breed that is very patient and kind to children, thus very suitable for families with children. Eager to please and craving for love, the dog is very trainable through gentle yet firm training. This dog gets along well with other dogs. Naturally protective, the dog will protect its family if such situation arises.
It is not a barking dog but will watch out for intruders, making itself suitable as watch dog. The dog is suitable for not-so-active families and owners as it is not a very active dog and likes to be rather inactive indoor or outdoor. For this reason, it is fit to live in almost any living condition; an apartment, a house with a yard or any dwelling will suit its nature. It is a clean breed with very little to no drooling.
The Giant Maso Mastiff is an excellent companion dog that live to please its owners as well as act as an intimidating and protective guard dog.
CARE

TRAINING
It is a very good natured, obedient and eager to please breed that is very trainable through gentle yet firm training. The objective of the training should be to achieve packleader status. The owner and all other humans should be seen as dog's packleader.
ACTIVITY
The Giant Maso Mastiff is relatively laid-back and inactive breed that will be happy with whatever amount of exercise it gets. It is not a dog with high physical activities and does well with short walks every other day. This does not mean the dog is lazy, it can accompany its owner and family on long walks.
This dog is suitable for almost any kind of dwelling. It is rather inactive when indoor and will o.k in an apartment as well as in a house with a large yard.
