THE NEAPOLITAN MASTIFF

In fact, among the many Neapolitan Mastiffs I have known, if I have detect any problem at all with the breed's devotion to its family, I would have to say that the problem is that these dogs tend to really miss their owners when they are left alone and will spend long periods whimpering pitifully until everyone is together again.
. . .
Its heavy muscle is very obvious, even though its tough skin is loose and does not connect to the underlying tissue, as does the skin of other dogs.
. . .
A description of the Neapolitan in its role as home guardian in Rome comes to us, through the centuries, in the writing of Columelia: "The guard dog for the house should be dark in color so that during the day a prowler can see him and be frightened by his appearance.
. . .
Its overall appearance, both head and body, suggests a potential for unprecedented brutality and, while the dog is exceptionally gentle around its family and friends, this brutality can easily be realized should the Neapolitan's home or family be seriously threatened.
. . .
In general, this is most definitely not a dog you want to find yourself face to face with as you step through a stranger's window in order to burglarize his home.
. . .
A good Neapolitan should stand on short but massive legs, and, though it is relatively low to the ground, a large dog will weigh about 200 pounds.
