Abruzzese Mastiff
The Abruzzese Mastiff (in Italian: Mastino Abruzzese; sometimes also called ''Pastore abruzzese'', and known as "cane da Pecora" in the Abruzzi region) is a breed related to, but distinct from the Maremmano-Abruzzese (commonly called Maremma Sheepdogs in America) from the Italian region of the Abruzzi. The Mastino Abruzzese represents the original Abruzzese strain 〔()〕 and is characterized by its larger size, some male dogs reportedly exceeding 100 kg (220 lbs) in size. Some of these dogs have been successfully employed as livestock guardian dogs in the United States and in Norway, where reportedly they were effective in deterring predation by bears.〔(www.bioforsk.no. )〕 Mastini are employed in packs of 4 to 10 (depending on the size of the flock). The pack leader is the one who will engage predators in combat more often and usually wears a spiked iron collar to defend its throat.
==Types==
The Abruzzese Mastiff is a breed composed by specimens often different one from another, due to the fact that it is a Landrace and not a man-made breed. Over the last few years attempts have been made to unify this breed applying just one standard like for other dog breeds. This has led to the disappearance of several breed types of the Mastiff Abruzzese which had been selected for the specific needs of the shepherds of each region of Abruzzo.
There are major morphological differences between specimens of different regions in Abruzzo.
There are seven main subtypes of the Mastino Abruzzese.〔http://www.abruzzese.org/tipi.htm〕
