"What the Lion is to the Cat.... the Mastiff is to the Dog, the noblest of the family; he stands alone, and all others sink before him. His courage does not exceed his temper and generosity, and in attachment he equals the kindest of his race." "Cynographia Britannica 1800"
We are fanciers of the true Old English Mastiff, sometimes referred to as the "English or Old English Mastiff" not to be confused with the "American Mastiff" which is a cross/mix between an Anatolian Shepard Dog and an English Mastiff.
Just another mixed breed is. the "American Mastiff"
and it IS NOT recognized by the AKC as is the "Mastiff."
