The Bullmastiff is a large-sized breed of domestic dog, with a solid build and a short muzzle.
 The Bullmastiff shares the characteristics of molosser dogs, and was originally developed by 19th-century gamekeepers to guard estates.
 The breed's bloodlines are drawn from the English Mastiff and the extinct Old English Bulldog.
 It was recognized as a purebred dog by the English Kennel Club in 1924.
 They are quiet dogs and very rarely bark.
Mastiff type means a large molosser dog.
 The term "mastiff type" has been used synonymously with the term "molosser".
 For example, the bulldog breeds, the Great Dane, the mountain dogs, the pit bulls and even smaller dogs such as the Boston terrier, may be considered "mastiff types" in this broad sense.
 The descriptive term, mastiff type, should not be confused with the breed, the Mastiff.
 All breeds are individual and should be referred to by their breed name to ensure correct identification.
The Fila Brasileiro (] ) also known as the Brazilian Mastiff is a large working breed of dog developed in Brazil.
 It is known for its superb tracking ability, aggressiveness and an unforgiving impetuous temperament.
 When a Brazilian Mastiff finds its quarry, it does not attack it, but rather holds it at bay until the hunter arrives.
 Owing to these qualities, the Brazilian Mastiff is used as a guard dog, as a shepherd dog for herding livestock and as a hunting dog for tracking and controlling large prey.
 When slavery was legal in Brazil, the Brazilian Mastiff was used to return fugitives unharmed to their slave masters.
 This breed has been banned in many countries because of its temperament and potential for aggression.
The Cane da Presa Meridionale (Italian for "Southern Catching Dog") is the old, "functional" working variant of the Neapolitan Mastiff.
 Before 1946 there was no distinction between Neapolitan Mastiff, Cane da Presa and Cane Corso, these were simply three different names for the same dog.
 The modern Neapolitan Mastiff is unlike the original, a dog created by dog shows. Fans of the original Mastino have started an organisation which is trying to gather the remaining specimens which would fit the 1946 standard of the Neapolitan Mastiff.
Aicama Zorba of La-Susa or Zorba (26 September 1981 - Unknown ) was a male Old English Mastiff who was recognized by Guinness World Records as the heaviest and longest dog in the world.

Dog anatomy comprises the anatomical studies of the visible parts of the body of a canine.
 Details of structures vary tremendously from breed to breed, more than in any other animal species, wild or domesticated, as dogs are highly variable in height and weight.
 The smallest known adult dog was a Yorkshire Terrier that stood only 6.3 cm at the shoulder, 9.5 cm in length along the head and body, and weighed only 113 g .
 The largest known adult dog was an English Mastiff which weighed 155.6 kg and was 250 cm from the snout to the tail.

The Molossus of Epirus (Greek: Μολοσσός της Ηπείρου) is a large dog breed originating from Greece.
 It is a livestock guardian that has been bred since the age of Alexander the Great for protecting livestock from carnivorous mammals including the wolf, European jackal and the brown bear in the mountainous regions of Greece, especially Epirus.
 The Molossus is a pure Greek breed and is believed to be one of the main ancestors of today's Molosser breeds, such as the English Mastiff and the Neapolitan Mastiff,
The English Mastiff is a breed of extremely large dog (often known simply as the Mastiff) perhaps descended from the ancient Alaunt and Pugnaces Britanniae, with a significant input from the Alpine Mastiff in the 19th century.
 Distinguishable by enormous size, massive head, and a limited range of colours, but always displaying a black mask, the Mastiff is noted for its gentle and loving nature.
 The lineage of modern dogs can be traced back to the early 19th century, but the modern type was stabilised in the 1880s and refined since.
 Following a period of sharp decline, the Mastiff has increased its worldwide popularity.
 Throughout its history, the Mastiff has contributed to the development of a number of dog breeds, some generally known as Mastiff-type dogs, or, confusingly, just as "Mastiffs".
