Mastijen
The Mastijen is a striking, athletic giant with the calm confidence of a Mastiff and the alert, catlike responsiveness of a Basenji. They tend to be affectionate and steady with their family, observant around strangers, and a little more independent than typical giant breeds, with a playful streak that shows up in short bursts rather than nonstop exuberance.
