Knowing the Mastiff’s popularity

Big Dog | January 25th, 2010

Canines are not only made popular or famous for their appearances on television such as Rin Tin Tin but also through the company that keeps them. Many famous people and historical figures have owned a Neapolitan Mastiff and die hard fans and followers of these people are tempted to get one themselves. Historical figures such as Hannibal and Kublai Khan have owned this breed for their strength and power during their conquests. Even King Henry VII had several.

But for the celebrity struck fans, the late Marlon Brando and veteran actor George C. Scott were admires of the Neapolitan Mastiff. Weight watcher Kristy Alley was a fond lover of these dogs and even rock bassist, Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers owns one. But don’t think for one second that only the rich and famous have a license to have a Mastiff. What counts the most is the genuine care and commitment to taking care of the breed for as long as they are around you.
