Spanish Mastiff

The Spanish Mastiff is a massive livestock guardian developed in rural Spain to protect flocks from wolves and other predators. Despite their imposing size, they are typically calm, loyal, and deeply devoted to their family, with a naturally watchful nature around strangers. Their combination of ancient working heritage, quiet confidence, and gentle demeanor at home makes them a distinctive giant breed.
