Description
The Mastador is a hybrid breed of dog that is a mix between the English Mastiff and Labrador Retriever. This breed has become increasingly popular in recent years due to its loyal, loving, and gentle nature. The Mastador is an excellent family pet that can provide companionship and protection for its owners.
Appearance: The Mastador has a large, muscular body with a broad head and muzzle. Its coat can be short or long, depending on the parent breeds used in the mix. Common colors include black, brown, fawn, red, white, cream, and brindle.
Lifespan: The average lifespan of the Mastador is 10-12 years.
Size: The average size of the Mastador ranges from 24-30 inches tall at the shoulder and weighs between 70-120 pounds when fully grown.
Weight: Depending on their size they can weigh anywhere from 70 to 120 pounds when fully grown.
Colors: Common colors include black, brown, fawn, red white cream and brindle.
Personality: The Mastador is an intelligent breed that loves to please its owners with its loyal nature and affectionate personality. They are very protective of their family members but also enjoy playing games such as fetch or tug-of-war with them as well as going for walks or hikes together outdoors. They are also known for being very patient with children which makes them great family pets!
Friendliness towards other dogs/animals/children: The Mastador is generally friendly towards other animals including cats if raised together from puppyhood but may be wary of strangers due to their protective nature so it’s important to socialize them early on in life so they learn how to interact properly with new people or animals they come across while out on walks or at home in general settings around others who aren’t part of their immediate family unit . As far as children go this breed does great around them since they have such a gentle demeanor which makes them perfect playmates!
Temperament: The temperament of this breed tends to be calm yet alert making it an ideal guard dog if needed while still being able to relax around those it knows well enough not to feel threatened by them . They are also known for being quite independent thinkers which means they need proper training from an early age so that they understand what behaviors are expected from them when interacting with others both human and animal alike .
Health: Generally speaking this hybrid breed tends to have fewer health issues than either parent breeds due largely in part because both parents have been bred over time specifically for certain traits such as strength , intelligence , loyalty etc . However some common health issues associated with this mix include hip dysplasia , elbow dysplasia , eye problems , bloat (gastric torsion) , heart disease & skin allergies . It’s important that you keep up regular vet visits & checkups throughout your pet’s life so any potential problems can be caught & treated early before becoming more serious issues down the road .
Adaptability Level : This hybrid breed does best in homes where there is plenty of space for exercise & playtime since these dogs tend to need lots of physical activity throughout each day otherwise boredom could set in leading potentially destructive behavior patterns like chewing furniture etc . Additionally these dogs do best when given consistent rules & boundaries set by their owners so that everyone involved knows what behaviors are acceptable & which ones aren’t allowed within your household environment . Benefits : One major benefit associated with owning a mastador dog would be its loyalty & devotion towards its owner(s) – these dogs will always strive hard no matter what task you give them whether it’s playing fetch all day long or simply providing companionship during those lonely nights at home alone ! Additionally these hybrids make excellent guard dogs since they possess strong protective instincts yet still remain gentle enough not harm anyone unless absolutely necessary – making sure your home remains safe at all times !
History
The Mastador is a large, powerful dog with a short coat that is easy to care for. The breed is a cross between the English Mastiff and the Labrador Retriever. The Mastador was first bred in the United States in the 1980s and was originally intended to be a working dog. However, the breed quickly became popular as a family pet due to its friendly nature and loyalty.
The Mastador almost became extinct in the early 21st century due to a lack of interest from breeders. However, the breed has experienced a resurgence in popularity in recent years and is now once again available from many breeders.
The ancestry of the Mastador can be traced back to the English Mastiff and the Labrador Retriever. The Mastador was first recognized as a breed by the United Kennel Club in 2013.
