Neapolitan Mastiff was developed in southern Italy as a family and guard dog. Today this massive breed is known as a gentle giant. Some fans of the breed affectionately call them the Neo, and others know them as Mastino.

In this video, we are counting down the top 10 facts about the Neapolitan Mastiffs that you might not know.

A Quick Overview:
Group: Working Dogs
Weight: 120 to 200 pounds
Height: 24 to 31 inches tall at the shoulder
Life Expectancy: 8 to 10 years

Steady and solid as an oak tree, the Neo is a guardian rather than an attack dog. They're always alert and aware, even if it looks like they're relaxing. If you aren't home, they simply won't let anyone onto your property. And really, who's going to argue with them? When you welcome someone, though, your Neo will accept that person as well, although they'll probably remain aloof. This isn't a "hail fellow, well met" kind of dog.

The Neo is affectionate toward their family, but they're also strongwilledand big enough to have their own way. Begin training early, be firm and consistent, and use positive reinforcement techniques, such as praise and food rewards. The Neo is best suited to a home with a fenced yard. Although they're a homebody and not prone to wandering, a fence will help them to know the limits of their property, an important bit of knowledge for a guard dog.

Start training your Neo as soon as you bring them home, while they're still at a manageable size. Enroll in a puppy socialization class to accustom them to being around other dogs and people. This is extremely important for the Neapolitan Mastiff, who can be aggressive toward other dogs and people if they aren't taught manners. As with every dog, Neapolitan Mastiffs need early socialization or exposure to many different people, sights, sounds, and experiences. Socialization helps ensure that your Neo puppy grows up to be a wellrounded dog.
