The mastiff is a 2000 yr old breed. The Giant Maso is a more popular designer breed in development and has been for 7 years. The origin of The Giant maso is typically 75% to 85% Old English mastiff and the rest Cane Corso mastiff (NOT to be confused with the Presa Canara, they are NOT the same thing!) that are bred only from selected dogs of each breed.
The Cane corso is used to guard livestock in Italy and is a breed that is excellent around other animals, cats, chickens etc...And awesome around children. The Old English Mastiff is also excellent around animals and children. The Giant Maso is a leaner, more muscular, less fat mastiff than the Old English, and also more active.
They are good for active families who like to hike or jog. The Old English mastiff is typically a lazy dog, preferring to lay on the couch, but some of the leaner ones are more active. They both tend to look similar in appearance, color and size.
The maso is bred to not slobber and live longer and be ... more.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
