The term mastiff describes a group of dogs of similar size and build.
The word is pretty much synonymous with molosser, a category of solidly built, large dog breeds (though there are a few small ones!) that all descend from the same common ancestor. Molossers typically have dense and heavy bones, pendant ears, a relatively short and well-muscled neck, and a short muzzle.
And guess what? They’re all absolutely gorgeous. Here are 17 of the most popular and beautiful types of mastiff that can be found across all corners of the globe.
