The Mastiff breed has a desired temperament, which is reflected in all formal standards and historical descriptions.
Sydenham Edwards, wrote in xxxx in the Cynographia Britannica: "What the Lion is to the Cat the Mastiff is to the Dog, the noblest of the family; he stands alone, and all others sink before him. His courage does not exceed his temper and generosity, and in attachment he equals the kindest of his race. His docility is perfect; the teazing of the smaller kinds will hardly provoke him to resent, and I have seen him down with his paw the Terrier or cur that has bit him, without offering further injury. In a family he will permit the children to play with him, and suffer all their little pranks without offence. The blind ferocity of the Bull Dog will often wound the hand of the master who assists him to combat, but the Mastiff distinguishes perfectly, enters the field with temper, and engages in the attack as if confident of success: if he overpowers, or is beaten, his master may take him immediately in his arms and fear nothing. This ancient and faithful domestic, the pride of our island, uniting the useful, the brave and the docile, though sought by foreign nations and perpetuated on the continent, is nearly extinct where he probably was an aborigine, or is bastardized by numberless crosses, everyone of which degenerate from the invaluable character of the parent, who was deemed worthy to enter the Roman amphitheatre, and, in the presence of the masters of the worlds, encounter the pard, and assail even the lord of the savage tribes, whose courage was sublimed by torrid suns, and found none gallant enough to oppose him on the deserts of Zaara or the plains ofNumidia."[8]
The "Dog Breed Info Center" says "Dominance levels vary, even within the same litter, but it is often called a gentle giant. A born guard dog, the Mastiff rarely barks, but it is in its nature to defend its territory and family, and is more a silent guard rather than a barker. When an intruder is caught the dog is more likely to hold them at bay, either by trapping them in a corner or lying on top of them rather than an all-out attack. You do not need to train your Mastiff to guard. No matter how friendly it is, if it senses danger it will naturally guard on its own unless the owners are there to tell it otherwise. Self-confident and watchful, these dogs are patient and considered excellent with children. Intelligent, calm, even-tempered and docile, this breed is very large and heavy. They respond well to firm, but gentle, patient training. They love to please and need a lot of human leadership.".[9]
The American Kennel Club sums up the Mastiff breed as: "a combination of grandeur and good nature as well as courage and docility." Domesticated Mastiffs are powerful yet gentle and loyal dogs, but due to their physical size and need for space, are best suited for country or suburban life."[10]
many families live in areas where they don't feel safe. or have people who are disabled whom need assistance. what we try t achieve in this litter was those personalities that are very much needed. this is our second litter and i am very proud of these pups. they are vary much like mastiff of old are.  they don't bark, they growl lowly even when playing. their bones are well proportioned and muscly.  pics don't do them justice. while its true we don't have ravens akc papers, that doesn't matter as we didn't breed her because of akc quality. odin the daddy is akc but  again the akc doesn't matter i wouldn't breed him and raven if i didn't see the qualities i am looking for. raven will smile at you, grab your hand and take you were she is trying to get you. she clearly says i love you. odin personalty is a bit timid but he loves to explore nature. every one should have a raven or odin to come home too. in these babies you will. please consider our grandbabies for your family
