The English Mastiff was founded in Britain. A very old breed, it was depicted in Egyptian monuments as early
as 3000 BC. The breed fought alongside the British soldiers in 55 BC. Caesar brought a pack of Mastiffs to
Rome where the dogs were put on display as an arena gladiator and forced to be in fights with human
gladiators, lions, bull baiting, bear baiting and in dog to dog combat. They later became popular with the
peasants in England where it was used as a bodyguard, protector of wolves and other dangerous predators and
as a companion dog. In the eighteenth century the Mastiff was described: "As a lion is to a cat, so is a mastiff
compared to a dog. "It is believed that a Mastiff came to America on the Mayflower. Later more were imported.
Like most breeds by the end of World War ll the breed was almost extinct in England. Dogs were imported from
the USA and Canada and are once again well established in England. Some of the Mastiff's talents include:
watchdog, guarding, police work, military work, search & rescue, and weight pulling.
