Once you're past the shock of your
first impression, you'll be able to better appreciate how quiet, calm, and
relaxed this Mastino is. Just don't mistake his bulk and ambling gait for
laziness or clumsiness, for he can shift into his fierce protector's role on
a moment's notice. |

Calm, dignified, and generally quiet,

nonhumid climate, ideally with access to a lake or pond. |

Norwich Terriers
are often too quick to sound the alarm at every new sight and sound. You
have to be equally quick to stop them. If you work all day and have close
neighbors, they are not the best choice for you. |

easily bored, while some are strong-willed and dominant, testing the rules
to see what they can get away with. |
