Origin: Italy
Breed purpose: this dog was bred to be used both as a fighting dog in battles and in the ancient arenas.
Exercise needs: care must be taken with puppies and young dogs that they do not run around too much and absolutely no jumping, so as to avoid bone and joint problems as an adult dog. Adults need at least two long walks a day.
Common ailments: as with many of the giant dogs, this dog is prone to hip dysplasia and other bone and joint problems. Young dogs may suffer from a condition called 'pano-ostiosis' which is akin to growing pains. Another common ailment is a condition called 'cherry eye' which occurs when the eye tissue protrudes and becomes inflamed. Minor surgery corrects the condition.
