Behavior
Pakistani mastiffs are extremely powerful mastiffs that do not make good companions. They must be placed in the hands of an experienced dog trainer. If trained intensely and socialized perfectly, it could make a good family dog. They are very intelligent and bold, and can be trained fairly easily. They are very playful, and docile around children if raised right. If raised wrong, they can be extremely aggressive and powerful animals that are a danger, as many dogs are. But, they are generally docile and loyal dogs. They enjoy daily walks. They live for 8-10 years. They are used in Pakistan as dog fighters.
