According to our research, the Mastiff dog was originally bred as a combat dog, to guard troops in battle and then later to serve as crowd entertainment by fighting animal and human counterparts in the Roman Colosseum – what a disgusting thought!
Despite his aggressive start in life, the Mastiff is a loving, patient, and loyal family member, who especially loves spending his time playing with the kids in the garden. He’s forgetful of his size and will often try to climb into your lap for a cuddle.
The mastiff is the ultimate family protector and life-long friend and we’ve put together a list of the top 16 Mastiff mixes. Please have a look and let us know what you think.

bullmastiffs are actually considered a purebred and are recognized by the akc, but other than that, this list was great!

Hey, Elianna.
You’re 100% correct. Bullmastiffs are obviously a distinct breed of their own. Apologies for the mistake — this was one of our very first articles and it must have slipped through our editorial process. I appreciate you pointing out the error, and I’ve removed that entry.
Thanks for checking out the site!

In lieu of over 2.7 million dogs and cats being killed in the US each year do you really find it wise to promote more breeding? Stories like this promote backyard breeders and puppy mills to reproduce the next too designer dog.
Instead what should be discussed and promoted is the spaying and neutering if dogs and cats as well as adopting family pers from shelters across America.
Another great topic would be showcasing foster homes for pets across the country. Letting people get to know what it is like to foster pets and by it is so important.
Given the fact that on average less than 5% of dogs and cats brought to shelters ever get adopted, it seems to me that is what needs go be talked about.
Instead if showing cute pictures of what could be dogs why don’t you show cute pictures of dogs and cats in shelters across America looking for a home? They need exposure, foster homes and donations to save their lives. This is what should be talked about.

Hey, Lorrie. Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts.
We talk about adoption and shelter pets quite a bit. But while adoption is a great choice in some circumstances, purchasing a dog from a compassionate and responsible breeder is better in others.
Thanks!
