25 Dog Breeds Too Risky for Your Home

18. Neapolitan Mastiff

The Neapolitan Mastiff is striking with its loose, wrinkled skin and colossal size. Rooted in ancient Rome, they boast a prehistoric vibe. Gentle giants, they weigh up to 150 pounds and stand 24 to 31 inches tall. Their wrinkled faces and droopy skin once served as battle armor. Despite their daunting look, they’re loving and gentle with family, protective yet rarely aggressive without cause. Their short coat comes in black, blue, mahogany, and tawny. Early socialization and positive training tame their strong-willed nature.
