Character

---

American Mastiff Panjas have a laid-back attitude and a leisurely temperament. They make excellent pets and are very devoted and protective towards their family. Most American Mastiff Panjas (especially those being bred today) are terrific with small children. The breed’s natural instincts lead them to take responsibility over everything in their domain. They believe it is their duty to protect everything and everyone in their household. American Mastiff Panjas are an intelligent breed, and obedience training is recommended to prevent the onset of boredom or reckless behaviors like chewing. The breed is a natural-born guard dog, and they are great at alerting their owners of any suspicious activity. They are strong-willed leaders and have a dominating persona, but they are also very kind and loyal companions.

General Health

---

The American Mastiff Panja doesn’t have any major health concerns to speak of, but like other large breeds of dogs, it’s possible that some specimens are at an increased likelihood of developing hip dysplasia. American Mastiff Panjas typically live for 10 to 12 years.

History

---

American Mastiff Panjas were initially bred to guard property and houses. Unfortunately, many American Mastiff Panjas were constructed with harsher demeanors in order to serve as guard dogs of drug dealers’ property and drugs. They are a cross breed between several dogs including Pitbulls and Rottweilers. Since they have been recognized by the DRA, they have become loving pets and have been able to move away from their dark past. They are now typically used as companions.

Maintenance

---

American Mastiff Panjas have a medium-length, flat coat that doesn’t require much upkeep. They are minimal shedders, but a daily brushing is still a good idea to keep stray hairs at bay. A bath or dry shampoo can be administered as necessary.

Ideal Environment

---

The American Mastiff Panja can live acceptably in a small household or apartment if they are properly exercised. They are relatively inactive indoors and have a propensity to become lazy, so it’s important that their owners initiate some healthy activity. American Mastiff Panjas don’t like to be left alone, so keeping them in a crate while the owners are away is often recommended. They do well in all climates and can tolerate many various weather conditions. They are a breed that needs at least a small yard. Daily walks are ideal for this athletic breed.
