"By the same custom Alani gives an Alaunt, or in a secondary sense a cattle dog or mastiff, employed as a guard against the wolf." Wynn 1886

The Mastiffs derived from the Shepherds of Asia. The term Shepherd's Mastiff of England defines what we call White English. It is time to return the Mastiffs to the Peasent farmers and herdsmen.

"The author Marius Terentius Varro, who died in the year 27 B.C., reports in his book on agriculture of two kinds of dogs that were bred in this country. The first were hunting dogs and the second large herding dogs, who effectivly protect sheep and goats. From his description of these herding dogs we quote: The lower jaw is undershot. From it grows two teeth, one on the left, the other on the right, which are only slightly exposed...These dogs have large heads and drooping ears, a strong nape and neck...The tail is thick, the bark sonorous, the jaws large; the color usually is white, so that it can be distinguished from predators at night."

"In this larger variety, used to guard the doors of the houses of the Britions, and to protect their flocks and herds we can plainly trace the mastiff and its superiority over the true molossus."
