THE LIST: TOP MASTIFF DOG BREEDS 

True story. Just moved into my house about a month ago. I'm in the back room and my Cane Corso gets up and jogs to the front door and peers out the side window. It's about the time the bus drops off kids across the street so I don't think much of it. Then I hear the growl. I get up and peek out peep hole and it's an ADT salesman. I crack the door and say what's up and he starts his speel and 2 sentences in I say I'm not interested. Of course he's trained to follow up with "why wouldn't you want your house monitored?" I opened the door just a little bit wider and just as I did my boy let out a bark that made the guy almost shit himself. I said "cuz as you can see I already got a 125lb monitoring system!" Nuff said dude was gone. 😆

My English mastiff lived until 4 days before her 13th birthday. She was brindle, 150lbs at her heaviest, 125lbs at her lightest. We lost her to cancer, but I remember our vet said that she lived as long as she did because we loved her so much. I like to believe he was right. It's been almost 10 years and I will always have a place in my heart for her. I love you Dasha ❤

I have 2 Corsos. My neighbors agree that someone would have to be out of his mind to attack me, or to break into my house.

I have been breeding and training Cane Corsos since 2007, my wife was the owner of Marvell Boerboels in South Africa. I would like to say that the life expectancy of each breed is very much based on the dogs diet. Research shows that dogs fed a species appropriate raw diet will live considerably longer than bag fed dogs. We feed our dogs 80% muscle meat, 10% internal organs and 10% bone.

I totally agree on the video. Did a lot of research before chosing a Cane Corso as a family and home protector and it was the best choice I could have made. The nicest dog in the world, especially towards children, but mean as hell if necessary. She got attacked by a pitbull some months ago and shredded him to pieces, nearly killed him. She never starts fights, but now we know how she ends them if forced to. Absolute powerhouse with a heart of gold.

Who here thinks that corsos, dogo, boerboels, and rottweilers, are as good as dogs get because those are at the top on my list.

Boerboel & DogoArgentino are outstanding specimens!

My corso and i were chasing coyotes down the the street i tripped and fell looking like i was sliding into 2nd base he stopped and came back to check on me

I'm impressed that he differentiated between the lifespans of working breed lines versus show lines. Completely different genetics. Working lines always favoured health and function.

I can't imagine not having a bullmastiff in my home. I just adore mine.

I've had a handful of dogs. I now have a cane corso. And I'm hooked. Only dog anyone should ever own. Smart. Trainable. Family friendly. Just a great dog.

I love how connected you make your videos feel. Like we're just kicking back chatting. Very good at adding the dogs history, behaviors and present social standing!

I am impressed by the peoples choice boerboel being among top 2 is great 👍

Another great video. My wife and I have owned English Mastiffs, a Bull Mastiff, a Great Dane and a Different de Bordeaux. They were all fabulous dogs. Their short life spans are the only downside. Thanks for the video.

His eyebrow connects more than me and my dad

1. Cane Corso 2. Boerboel 3. Central Asian Ovcharka 4.Presa Canario 5. Dogo Argentino That's my top five right there. Rottweilers are an honorable mention.

Love my Cane Corso. I was skeptical about spending so much on a dog, especially since so many need adopting, but I’m so glad I did. Greatest breed even. My wife feels totally safe if she is home by herself. Just a smart, loyal, and gentle breed. My female is 120lb beast.

I really like your videos man, you always post top quality videos. Keep it up👍🏽

Wow! This is one of the only dog videos/ lists that aren’t filled with a bunch of bad information! Great video!

Love that Cane Corso I have a male that will be 6 months old and he’s already 90 lbs. very smart and well mannered.

Love all your videos and i really wait for new ones....Have watched all videos atleast three times....as soon as i got update about new video i got excited like i got new iphone.....I dont skip the advertisement as it helps you so i watch ads too...

i had an English mastiff. He was only 9 when I lost him, my heart still hurts. These life expectancies 5-7 oh my lord, that is too short. 😢

My New favourite Mastiff is Cane Corso, if anyone wants to learn more about these beautiful animals, there is a wonderful Breeder, in Texas, the channel is Senza Tempo Cane Corsa, this lady knows her stuff, we breed British Bull Mastiffs, with no channel, yet, my Wife & I have been breeding for 41yrs. Look up Rachel in Senza Tempa Cane Corso, we are very excited with her channel, we are in Scotland!🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🙏 Jay & Rana Myles

What a wonderful, informative video. Thank you!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Finally, someone who has done all the actual research on the breeds of dogs they are talking about. You rock. You let everyone know what breed is your favorite, but you don't minimalize those what others are interested in. Awesome job.

Glad to see the bullmastiff in the top 5. Would also love to see a video of them in work! Got my first bm years ago and I will never be without one in my life. The two I have now are stellar home guardians. Their instincts kicked in at around 8 months. Love em to pieces!

I had a corso who recently passed and I will probably only have corsos for the rest of my life. Mine was a bit larger than usual. He blew up to 140lbs, then 150 in his older age. He was an amazing boy. Very impressive to look at too.

I’ve got to say owning a Cane Corso is a great responsibility and I look forward to working with him daily. Love the channel keep the content coming!!!

BOERBOEL MY FAVOURITE.

Awesome video, awesome list, love your videos man!! Great job !!

Great video. I have been involved with mastiff breeds for more than 30 years and have had corsos since the early 90’s. I have had several of the breeds listed yet find the cane corso perfect for me. This list is very sensible and the info accurate. Well done.

Brother you always put out informative & excellent content! Thank you for your work!

Man really a very nice video. Totally loved it. Thanks for all of your informational videos.

I love the videos...I have watched them all and have no complaints. You are an awesome producer and director. I have become so much more fond of dogs with the knowledge from your videos. Keep Producing and Directing! Thank you so much!!!

This video is amazing! Thank you!

Love your channel! Great work!

Great list! I have a 9 year old Corso and she is so amazing. Corsos are so unique and definitely not for an inexperienced dog owner. I got her from a breeder in Italy and she was a guard dog from the day I got her that's her instincts are so strong with no guard dog training . They're also very good at sensing,or actually smelling, people's emotions, like adrenaline, so if you're tense or nervous about something your corso will be extra alert. Not a good thing if you are a person with anxiety or then gets an easy or startled easily and there's your dog will go into protection mode. Also Corso's are the last of the coursing Mastiffs. Bass and green and used to be a sport to let them run down small or large animals and kill them. She's great with my two cats they sleep together and when I brought the new puppy home she was awesome. But she would literally kill another animal given the chance if it came near me or my house. I'm not sure if that is something that dogs over here I still have in them or not but I see you're not very dog friendly and has strong pray Drive .I also a first-time bullmastiff owner. He is just over a year old now and I couldn't be happier with my decision to get a bull mastiff

I have a came corso and he's only a year and 4 months I don train him to be a gard dog but he has saved me from almost getting stabbed at night with my pit and jack Russel he's amazing

Great documentary on Mastiffs! Thanks!

I can not thank you enough for making this video... Much love and respect from Vancouver, British Columbia...

My mom and dad where in Tibet about a year ago. They said the Tibetan Mastiff was the most impressive dog they have ever seen in real life.

The Boerboel made it to number 2! Whoop whoop! ✊ They are incredible, hardy dogs. Love mine

Great video from my fave dog channel My bro just got a blue brindle cane corso pup. It’s 4 months old and it’s already pretty big but man he’s a sweetheart. I love that big lil guy

Thank you for all of your hard work. I love all of your content.

I got a Presa Canario on my 11th birthday. She was an amazing dog and one heck of a bed hog! She was sweet and gentle but we played very rough. The harder I played with her the harder she’d go. Truly an amazing companion. She ended up getting diabetes and passing at 10 years old. She left a big hole in my heart when she passed and I’ve since filled it with two Great Danes... ;)

Great list, The Coeso is a breed i just got into after looking into the breed for 10 Years. Would you consider doing a list of the largest LGD or former dog fighting breeds from the East, middle East, I'd love to leard more about the bully kutta, Gu; Dong, Alabai, Kangals etc. Keep up the great work Z

Look for my first dog & I’m stuck between a cane corso or a American bull! Your video are helping me tremendously! Keep up the great work

Great review. I appreciate your objectivity and fact-based assessment.

This is my favorite youtube channel. Thank you for all your information. What breed of dog to you have

Yyeesss.... i love my corso! Shes my best buddy and snuggle bug. Great video!

Love you Zeke!! Keep putting out your videos.

Great stuff Zeek!

Finally a video that consider rottweiler is belong to mastiff breed cuz they are. Rottweiler is also related to molos

Great video

Thank you so much for this video it was great 🙂💜

Every list i watch cane corso is #1, I am so proud of being owner to one of them. My cane corso is 4 months old and he has learned so much stuff. He growls at everyone who gets close to my gate and stops on my command. Such a smart and majestic animal.

That was a awesome list and some great info on each breed..... Luv what you do with your channel bro 💯💯💯🍻👊😎

We lost our Rottweiler to cancer at 11, just this September. He was an amazing boy. We are a week and a half from bringing home an English Mastiff puppy. It will be interesting to see how the breed compares to the Rottie.

Man, you're so the hombre. This is by far my favorite dog channel. Keep up the amazing work 👏👏👏

Great video man , you get em 👏

@DogumentaryTV Excellent video. Definitely thumbs'd it up and Sub'd way back when. Mad respect for all your hard work and efforts. The list of breeds is on point. Just wondering if anybody else has noticed breeders are starting to shorten the muzzle on so many different breeds. Assuming they are after the square appearance. Watching this video allows you to notice that. Breeds like Dogue de Bordeaux and the Bullmastiff have almost evolved into super sized pugs / Frenchie.. The Corso is also being messed with. I have two of them with the normal length muzzle and they don't have the crease between the eye and the muzzle. I've noticed many on the street with droopy eye syndrome because of the shortened muzzle. What are your thoughts Big Z.. Perhaps a good video topic.. "How Breeds Have Evolved"

I've always found it odd that some people don't consider the Rottweiler to be a Mastiff

thank you i was trying to find a mastif and you nailed it

I love any and all mastiff breeds. They’re so majestic and beautiful. Dogue de Bordeaux are possibly my favourite next to boxers ❤️

Glad the Boerboel was #2. I love my Boerboel little Ann . Very intelligent and easy to train if you start young. As with most large breeds early socialization is key. ♡♡♡

Found new appreciation for the Carne Corso at a dog show. Uncropped ears, intense but friendly. Made me really consider the breed but not sure how they would do with our Russell Terrier! Great list Zeke!

I four Presa Canario and many of the dogs you review great video my brother keep it going!

Very,very informative video.good job. Like your narrative, very straight forward and truthful about dog lifespan.

I have a 3 yr old Boerboel/Dogo/Kangal/Dane hybrid (over 60% Boerboel) male that stands about 30 in at the shoulder and weighs in around 150. Moves like a cat and covers ground faster than a Doberman. Best guard dog ive ever had. We had a man walking too close to our daughters bedroom window late at night about 2 months ago and he didn't bark or growl, just hit him full force and even though he only had him for less than 5 seconds had his arm and side needing stitches. 1 in a thousand dogs have the backbone to take down a man (especially 6 ft or taller and over 200 pounds) but only 1 in 10,000 would do it without training. These dogs arent jokes. They are serious animals and should be taken seriously. On the other side of the coin though, he loves my family, our cats, our 2 little dogs, and has to sleep with his head on my chest. Great dogs!

Great video! It really helps me determine which mastiff breed will work for me. I'm not the most experienced trainer but I absolutely have to get a mastiff. So this helps me alot

Kia ora I'm from Aotearoa New Zealand and I must say as a owner of a big Bullmastiff/Dogo Argintino weight wise around 60-70 kilograms my boy is just an awesome companion great with our kids and top protector of our home with little training. I'm a 1st time owner and have a rather busy lifestyle but anyone out there considering getting one be prepared to spend a lot of time with them long walks and big feeds.. Great channel mate helped me with my boy a lot God bless😀😀

Great vidéo, thankyou !

I am a dog sitter/ boarder and my first dog I have ever cared for when I started doing it more seriously was a Cane Corso. She was such a sweet goofy girl. She did have a trust issue with my brother but once she knew she could trust him, she was such a love bug! I think they are good family dogs but not good if you want another dog. Also, not for a week person. Luckily I am a very strong woman lol

Super dope vid

I've got a English Mastiff / American Bulldog Cross, gorgeous and an absolute sweetheart, very smart, well manured, great with small dogs and young children. He's been in the family since he was 6 weeks old and is currently 7 years old, also VERY healthy, active and weights ~130lbs, standing he looks you in the face @ 6 feet tall. Great video! 🤜🏼 🖤

We have Two Bordeaux’s “DDB” and a new Cane Corso I am in love with my Cane as she is maturing and my all time favorite is the DDB I just hate the fact we all see them passing at younger ages but maybe that’s why they love so hard with the years they do have and we are hoping that the Cane can show us that they will be our second in our LIST 🤘🏼 love your videos dog man ! Your very respected and excited to see more!!!

Love my Presa!!! So sweet with everyone, but definitely an amazing guardian. Can’t step on the property without going through him! 😂

Good list, Boerboel is tops for me!

Tells you the info you want to hear without any clutter. Good video man you earned a sub.

Awesome info!

Best dog videos!

I had two canecorso the female was at home while the male was guarding acres of grape farm! once there were some thief tried to dart poison my male ! and you know what it didn't work on him 😂 the female on the other side had spend with 9 toddlers under 2 years old in various time! The canecorso is one of the best breed I've ever had! (I've had German shepherds, Doberman, great danes in the past) unfortunately my both dogs passed away due to old age!

Nice 👍. I’ve been considering getting a cane corso. This list of dogs was great!

That was awesome great job man 🤠

Could we get a more videos with an in depth look at the fila brazileiro. I feel as though they could’ve made this list

I have an Italian Mastiff she’s my fiancé’s service dog and she is so loving yet very protective and she only 19 mos

Excellent video.i agree with the choices, great job.

Good video, very informative, provided a good "short list!"

As a Bullmastiff owner i might be slightly biased but Bullmastiff always no 1:P great channel btw

I called three but I had two and 1 crossed even tho Corso's are my personal favorite lol

I’ve had my Corso for 6 months now and I’m thankful for her everyday. Best gift I’ve ever gotten🥰.

Great list, equivalent of Toronto's International Film Festival (TIFF)'s Peoples Choice Award haha! In the Greater Toronto Area (Canada), you get to see Cane Corsos, Dogo Argentinos, American bulldogs, and Rottweilers the most. It is amazing to see the exponential growth in popularity of cane corsos. Btw, we have Kuvasz dog breeds and we love them.

I agree . I have 2 cane corso's . Think the presa should be higher

1. Dogo 2. Borbel and the list is perfect lol my opinion. I love this channel man cant wait til your on Netflix!

Great list...Thanks

I just got my cane corso 2 weeks ago and I can’t wait to see him grow to full maturity! He’s so sweet. They’re great dogs

I have a mix between Dogo and Boerboel .. best dog ever

My Cane Corso did it with my wife's dogo and she gave all the puppies away so I didn't get to see them grow I would have love to have seen that

Yoooo, it's about time somebody came out with a dog list that made since !!! 👍👍👍

Great video. I have a Cane Corso and couldn’t agree more..amazing dog. We love our meathead so much.
