They tend to grow huge, so they cost a lot in food. They are also prone to Arthritis and related injuries due to their weight. The skin folds in their faces can cause eye damages and require surgery. But if you're OK with that they're supposed to be good natured and calm animals.
a chicken is good with any family whether they have a baby, a dog or kids.
The Perro de Presa Canario is a dog of the Molosar-type. These dogs are closely related to English mastiffs, bull mastiffs, and French mastiffs.
If you are talking about the large dogs they are mastiffs
Any dog when raised properly has the potential to make a great indoor pet. However, when it comes to the "giant" breeds, if you can't handle clumsiness during play time, I'd recommend getting a smaller dog.
Tools? French mastiffs are a type of dog and rarely are smart enough to use tools of any kind.
They are mastiffs, though I am not sure what type. By their size, I wonder if they are Neopolitan Mastiffs.
THey are just a dog, so yes. What is the issue?
Yes, they are good dogs best as a watchful guardian, but they are expensive as well. In fact, in March 2011, a Tibetan Mastiff was sold at 1.5 million US$.
No, mastiffs are quite muscular- not fat. There are cases in which a mastiff may become overweight due to lack of exercise, poor diet, or because of health issues. These are relatively rare and the mastiffs in general a muscular/toned dog breed.
Each family has different dynamics. I would maybe ask your vet for his/her advice as to which animal may make a good addition for your family. I suggest a dog.
If you want a dog which does a bit of everything, searches, agility and is a good family pet choose a labrador retrievor. They are generally realy good people dogs (just to make it clear as with any dog there are exeptions)
Bull Mastiffs are very good guard dogs and are excellent with families.
