Is a Mastiff able to live in a small house?
THIS IS AWESOME!
My favorite dog trainer and dog whisperer of all time has just released a free video online explaining how to eliminate 94% of all unwanted behavior in ANY dog.
Her name is Krista Cantrell and I absolutely LOVE the way she teaches.

My house is not extremely small but its not big either. I want to know if a Mastiff dog would be able to live in a house that is not big because Mastiffs are huge dogs. I hear they don’t use much energy inside the house anyway.
yes a mastiff can live in a small house … it is not the size of the shelter, it is the care the dog receives … and even though they are massive (you might have to step over him often :O) as long as any dog gets the right exercise and care, that dog could even live in an apartment …

Yes they are not overly active dogs.
The Mastiff is a large, powerful, massive dog of noble proportions. The coat of the Mastiff is fawn, apricot, silver, or brindle. A black facial mask is always present. This dog is one of the heaviest breeds with the males weighing up to 230 pounds and the females up to 200 pounds. The dog stands 30 or more inches at the shoulder and the bitch at 27 to 28 inches. The ears are small and triangular in shape and match the mask in color. The Mastiff is also known as the Old English Mastiff or English Mastiff. These dogs can live from 10 to 12 years.
History: The Mastiff is an ancient breed, it was depicted in Egyptian art over 5000 years ago. The Britons, while fighting against Caesar’s legions in 55BC were assisted by their Mastiffs. Impressed by the dog’s courage and strength, Caesar brought some back to Rome for use in the arena. They were used to fight bulls, bears, lions, and gladiators. Later, Mastiffs were used by English countryfolk to protect homes and farms from wolves and bandits. The first Mastiff in America may well have arrived on the Mayflower.
