Description |
The Nebolish is a dog of
great presence, the most agile of the Mastiff breeds. It should be
of strong muscular structure, large boned, wide chest. The head is broad
with natural ears, a short wide snout and a scissor bite. Excessive flews
are not desired so there is no slobber problem. The coat is typically a
short medium length, but long coats can occur. Colors include; fawn, brindle, in all shades including a
rare silver. Markings include; black mask, white markings are
permitted, but not desired. The tail maybe docked. |
|
Temperament |
The Nebolish Mastiff is very even
tempered, alert and dignified. They are not excessive barkers. Loyal, easy to train and
naturally protective. They can be stubborn if they sense that they are stronger minded than their handler. His intelligence, loyal affection and fearless
courage make him a highly desired companion. An excellent family member,
often used as a working dog or livestock protector. Good natured,
patient and playful with children. Mastiffs
require training and strong firm leadership skills, not recommended for the
first time dog owner. The objective in training this
dog is to achieve a pack leader status. It is a natural instinct for a dog to have an order in their pack. When we humans live with dogs, we become their pack. The entire pack cooperates
under a single leader. Lines are clearly defined and rules are set. Because a dog communicates his displeasure with growling and eventually biting, all other humans MUST be higher up in the order than the dog. The humans must be the ones making the decisions, not the dogs. That is the only way your relationship with your dog can be a complete success. |

Living Conditions |
The Nebolish Mastiff is not for the apartment
dweller. It can get by on a daily walk and a large yard,
but enjoy acreage to explore. Not prone to roam, but must be
contained because of the intimidation of his size! Once boundaries are
established Nebolish will stay in a 4 ft or stock fence with no
problem. Nebolish were developed in Canada very cold climate, spending
winters in front of the fireplace. They thrive in warm climate,
love the sun and water. |
|
Exercise |
The Nebolish Mastiff needs
room to run and loves to swim and hike. The adult Nebolish is at home
living indoors, but they need a daily walk! While out on the walk the dog must be made to heel beside or behind the person holding the lead, as in a dog's mind the leader leads the way, and that leader needs to be the human. These dogs love to check the pastures
with there owners, they will make certain all fences are secure and free of
intruders! |

Grooming |

Origin |
There are conflicting reports over the origin of the
Nebolish Mastiff. Some sources state,
With over 80 Mastiff types, the Nebolish
is one of the rarest. They were developed in late 1960's in the Northwest
and Canada. The breed was developed to increase the agility, health and
life expectancy of the Mastiff by crossing Old English,
Bull, Dogue de
Bordeaux, Mastiffs, and it is suspected that the Great
Dane, Boxer and Saint
Bernard maybe in the bloodline. There has never been an exact
breakdown of the breeding program, to keep the line pure the
exact breedings, that evolved to the Nebolish we know today has never
been disclosed. The Nebolish ancestry can be traced back to
Aristotele and Alexander the Great, who received these large dogs for soldiers
protection from Lions. The Noble Loyal Healthy Mastiff is not a new
breed, but a breed which was lost in history and now rediscovered in
the Nebolish Mastiff.
Others say it was developed in Canada in the 1960's, by
crossing the Neapolitan Mastiff, Dogue de
Bordeaux, English Mastiff,
Boxer, Bullterrier,
Bullmastiff, Deutsche Dogge, and the Saint
Bernard.
While other's claim, the Nebolish Mastiff is simply a
cross between the German Boxer and the French Bullmastiff.
Others report the
Nebolish Mastiff is a breed still in the stages of
development and some even claim it to be a mix. Photos posted of Charlie (long
coat - see
below and Photos Page 1) could be the
Saint Bernard in the lines coming out, but this is unclear.
The CKC (Continental Kennel Club) recognizes the
English Mastiff and
Neapolitan Mastiff cross as a Nebolish Mastiff.
To date, we have only come across one breeder of the Nebolish Mastiff. |

She was purchased from the local pet shop. She was the only one in the
litter who was white and brindle. The rest were all brindle or a light tan."
