James,
LOL, not at all. I love Mastiffs. They form the foundation breed for so many of the Working Breeds -- including Rottweilers -- and they are so big, powerful and, at least in my experience, so sweet.

They rule through intimidation. Their size alone makes them formidable. If folks only understood that they are big wusses they wouldn't be afraid. But size alone does intimidate.

As with most large breeds, the confident ones are the ones that I adore. Fear in a breed such as this is something that makes me very uncomfortable. Boss looks like a great dog and I'd love to meet him.
