Neapolitan Mastiff Puppy For Sale near La Habra Heights, CA

Neapolitan Mastiffs love being large and in charge. Unlike other Mastiffs, this breed isn’t a gentle giant. They're loyal protectors that can be good family dogs when socialized early, but strangers and other animals beware: this pup means business. Full-grown, they typically weigh 110-150 pounds and stand 24-31 inches tall.

Neapolitan Mastiffs are generally okay with older children who know how to handle dogs. Neapolitan Mastiffs are very good with children, pets, and other animals if socialized early, but they need close supervision around young kids because of their massive size. Male Neapolitan Mastiffs can get aggressive with other male dogs. They're relatively quiet and don't bark much.

Despite their large size, the adult Neapolitan Mastiff isn’t a very active breed. These dogs only need an average amount of exercise, such as a walk or play session in a large, fenced-in yard. Puppies shouldn’t be over exercised because they grow quickly and need all of their energy to build strong bones and put on weight. Overall, their exercise needs are moderate.

The Neapolitan Mastiff has a short, dense coat of smooth, fine hair that feels hard to the touch. These dogs can be standard grey, leaden grey, dove-grey, leaden black, brown, fawn, deep fawn, light fawn, or hazel. White patches on their chest and tips of their toes are common as well. Grooming-wise, this breed is moderate.

Neapolitan Mastiffs are best suited for a house with a good-sized yard. Keep your Neapolitan Mastiff healthy and happy by making their primary living space indoors (preferably in a home, not an apartment), avoiding hot weather, and providing enough physical activity. They are moderately trainable with consistent effort.
