10. Neapolitan Mastiff
Average Price: $5,000*
Country of Origin: Rome
The Neapolitan Mastiff, also known as Mastino, is a big kind of dog that can be as heavy as 150 pounds. Long ago in Rome, people bred these dogs to protect families and property. They’ve kept that brave and protective nature over time.
These Mastiffs can have coats in black, tawny, blue, brindle, or mahogany colours. The boy dogs can grow to be about thirty inches tall. They usually live for around eight to ten years. Even though they can be taught things, these big dogs can get a bit destructive if they get bored. So, they need a lot of things to do and someone to be with.
Neapolitan Mastiffs might seem scary, but if they learn how to be around others, they aren’t really mean. They’re more distant than anything. These guard dogs can get to be 110-150 pounds. If you’re getting their food from a shop like PetSmart or Walmart, it’s likely to cost you around £80-£100 each month.
