The most important delusion – to think that the frightening sizes of the German mastiff correspond to his character. Actually, it is very sociable and friendly dogs differing in patience.
The German mastiffs are ideal pets for family. They are gentle and tender, devoted and sociable. Houses with family like to spend much time. There are, of course, also difficulties in education of these dogs. First, they are suitable for the people who already have experience of communication with dogs more. Mastiffs can sometimes be quite capricious and independent. Besides, the German mastiff will not be suitable as the partner for those people who long time are absent houses – the dog constantly needs the company. In general the royal mastiff approaches as a sentry dog. He barks very little, but will bark at strangers surely, besides, foreign people are frightened by already sizes and appearance of a dog.

Mastiffs need to brush regularly teeth and to perform inspection of ears, a nose, paws and eyes.
Education
One more feature of a mastiff with which it is necessary to be careful – a dog simply does not realize the huge sizes therefore she easily can bring down the person from legs, having joyfully jumped for a greeting. On walk of a dog can strongly be soiled and also they observe the strengthened salivation. As well as any dog, the German mastiff needs to begin to be brought up since early childhood. Owing to features of its character, on a dog it is impossible to shout and apply to her other severe punishments at all. It is worth remembering that mastiffs are affectionate and sensitive dogs therefore they adopt emotions of the owner, it needs to be considered at education too.
