Spanish Mastiff’s guard and defend. The breed is closely related to the seasonal moving in the livestock, and especially the Merino livestock which he already accompanied at the time of the Mesta (association, in the Middle-age, of breeders of the wandering herds) by defending them from wolves and other predators, all along their journey from one location to another and on the grazing pastures, in all seasons and sites.

 

Actually, he accompanies numerous herds, whether sedentary or wandering by fulfilling his ancestral task. He performs today the same function of guarding and protecting farms, people and properties in general.
