In fact, the Mastiff is a tall, majestic dog, pure bloodline is really important, I came to teach you a few tricks to identify the purebred Mastiff method. 1, look at its head purebred Mastiff’s head is very wide, slightly curved forehead, in the gaze of an object, showing a special wrinkles. Its eyes are of medium size and are mainly brown in color, the darker the better; its ears are v-shaped, very small, and in their natural state are close to the face. From any angle, the Mastiff’s head gives a very sturdy feeling. 2.

Its coat color is generally camel, apricot, or with spots, and some dogs have very small white fragments on their chests, which is also considered qualified. 3. Look at its body type The Mastiff’s neck is very strong, covered with muscles, slightly arched, and the closer it is to the shoulder, the thicker the neck is. Its back is full of muscles and the back line is flat and straight. There is no depression or arch. Its tail is positioned at an appropriate height, gradually becoming thinner from the heel to the end of the tail. When quiet, the tail hangs vertically; when in motion, its tail bends slightly upward, but does not exceed the back. 4. Look at its gait Try to let the dog stand and walk around to observe its gait. Mastiff dog action, full of power and confidence, showing the posture is noble and dignified, if there is shyness or vicious performance, are considered defects.
