Neapolitan Mastiff: Then
Neapolitan Mastiffs were bred in southern Italy. The history of this breed goes back 3,000 BCE that marks the commencement of the Bronze Age. It was the time when there was no differentiation between the Upper and Lower regions of Egypt and hence for guarding purpose mastiff-like pups were taken into use. They used to work in Tibet as well. If you look at the picture you will realize that they look unique in their appearance. They are huge in size, they have loose skin and thick facial fold makes them look different and somewhat terrifying. Looks could be deceptive, it rightly applies to them. Though they look very dangerous, they were known for being a gentle canine a century ago.
