Neapolitan Mastiff

Loose skin, heavy folds and a rolling gait make the Neo the most dramatic-looking giant, and its devotion to its own household is matched by deep suspicion of strangers. Those folds need daily cleaning to prevent infection, drool is constant, and eyelid problems such as cherry eye are common alongside joint disease. Expect up to about 10 years, with a median nearer 9, and an experienced, confident handler from the first day.
