Neapolitan Mastiff fun facts

Fun Facts:

Neapolitan Mastiffs have dewlaps, or folds of loose skin hanging from the face and jowls especially. This enables them to be very tolerant of pain, which sadly aided in their legacy of being used as fighting dogs, and in baiting bears, jaguars, and bulls.

The Neapolitan Mastiff almost disappeared after World War II, but was revitalized by Italian Dr. Piero Scanziani.

If you're having a Neapolitan Mastiff join your home, you might want to invest in some extra towels! This breed is renowned for a hefty amount of drool.
