Product Description
Deriving from ancient dogs from the Old World, the Mastiff remains one of the most fascinating living relics in the animal kingdom. Todays Mastiff, no longer used as a warrior, large-game hunter and animal baiter, has become an upright member of canine society, as a home companion, estate guardian and show dog. Weighing over 200 pounds, the noble Mastiff is the heaviest pure-bred dog in the world, a true gentle giant who lives to be close to his well-protected family. For the right family, able to offer proper accommodations and training, the Mastiff makes a true "friend for life." Author Christina de Lima-Netto, a successful Mastiff breeder from Spain, has written an informative and insightful book about her best friend. The new owner and the experienced owner alike will welcome the authors experience and candor, whether shes discussing the breeds complex history, breed characteristics and the standard or her own ways of feeding, training and caring for the Mastiff. Illustrated with over 135 color photographs, this book also presents information on housebreaking, everyday care, health care, showing and much more.

 Excellent resource for new Mastiff owners February 17, 2010
Moodster (Florida)
The book is exactly what the title says, "a comprehensive guide to owning and caring for" a Mastiff. As a first time Mastiff owner, I was curious about the breed history, it's physical and health traits, and proper training needs. The information in the book was invaluable as I would have likely caused my dog bone health issues later in life had I not read it. I expect my "gentle giant" to provide me love and companionship for many years to come.

As a person interested in gettting a mastiff puppy I bought this book to get an idea of what I would be getting into. The author does a great job in expressing her thoughts and views about getting such a large dog and explaining the finacial responsibilities it would take. It teaches the perspective dog owner all the basic knowledge and information needed in making your decisoin to buy a dog of this size. After reading the book I am ready to get a mastiff puppy!
Great book - but get another book to supplement December 1, 2008

This book is a great place to start when it comes to the new mastiff owner, but in terms of training you will definitely need another book to give you more detail. The color pictures are great and the information about picking a mastiff puppy is very descriptive and very helpful. Overall - great book.
