Live indoors or outdoors?
Indoors, of course. What’s the sense of having a Mastiff if you don’t have it close to you? It certainly can’t protect you from the boogie man if it’s tied out in the yard. And it’s useless as a footstool if you keep it fastened in a kennel or locked in the garage. Seriously, Mastiffs seem to have an instinctive need and desire to be as close as possible to their human family, to the point that their emotional development can be stunted if they are deprived of that closeness. Many breeders will refuse to sell a Mastiff unless the new owner guarantees that it will be kept as a house dog.
