Publisher's Synopsis
The spanish mastiff is identified as an historic breed, although its actual origins are unknown. Mentions of a spanish mastiff-like breed can be traced back more than 2,000 years to the iberian peninsula the place the ancestors of the breed have been possibly delivered with the aid of the phoenicians and greeks prior to the roman invasion. The spanish mastiff used to be mostly used as a herding canine and a livestock guardian in europe and there is some evidence to propose that the breed may additionally have also been used in battles the spaniards had against native peoples.
