Mastiff breeds have experienced a dramatic resurgence in recent years. AKC currently recognizes the Mastiff, Bullmastiff, the Tibetan Mastiff, the Neapolitan Mastiff, the Cane Corso (Italian Mastiff), the Dogue de Bordeaux (French Mastiff), and the Dogo Argentino (Argentinian Mastiff). Additionally, many more of these breeds are currently accepted by FCI. After decades of obscurity, they are ascending. This is due in part to AKC’s belated willingness to recognize new breeds, a process that was stalled in neutral for decades. As a result, more people have discovered them. In addition to that, research-based dietary protocols have replaced longstanding myths about large breed nutrition. An equally significant factor in their improved overall health has been the introduction of health testing. Hip dysplasia screening was just the start of the current menu of certifications for breeding stock. And last, but certainly not least, is the recognition of behavioral assessment and temperament testing for potential breeding stock–along with the acknowledgment that these are not breeds for beginners.

Heinrich Essig, a businessman and politician, developed the Leonberger in his home town of Leonberg, Germany, in the 19th century. It was developed primarily to be a companion and to resemble the image of a lion on the town’s crest. Essig claimed that different colored St. Bernards and a Pyrenean Mountain Dog were used to develop the Leonberger. Later, Essig’s nephew bred Leonbergers that were of tawny colors with black masks that are seen in the modern breed.
