The Neapolitan Mastiff dog is the dog from guard for excellence and also from defense, is of great size, strongly constructed, vigorous, of peasant aspect and in the majestic, sturdy and brave same time of intelligent expression, equipped of just mental equilibrium, with docile character, not aggressive, unsurpassable defender of the persons and the assets.
The general conformation is that one of a heavy brachimorfo, whose log is longer of the height to the garrese, harmonic regarding the format (eterometria) and relatively regarding the profiles (alloidismo).
Not adherent to the below woven ones, but abundant skin, with woven connecting lasso in all the parts of the body and in special way on the head where shape wrinkles and pliche and to the neck where shape giogaia.
Head - Brachicefala - massiccia, wide skull to the zigomi, short. The total length of the head catches up approximately the 3 decimates of the height of the garrese, the length of the snout must catch up a third party of the total length of the head.
In a dog of 70 cm. of height to the garrese, the skull must be along 14 cm, and snout 7 cm. The total length of head 21 cm.
The bizigomatica width of the skull is advanced to the half of the total length of the head and is almost equal to its length. The cefalico index total has a relationship of approximately 66. The directions of the advanced longitudinal aces of the skull and the snout are between they parallels.
Abundant skin with wrinkles and pliche, of which one typical departing traveler from the external palpebral angle and descendant with posterior convexity until to the homologous labiale angle.
Tartufo - On the same line of the nasal cane. Approval of profile does not have to sporgere on the front vertical line of the labbra, but its front face is found on same the slowly vertical one of the front face of the snout. The tartufo it must be voluminoso, with very open and large narici, humid and fresh.
The pigmentazione is in relationship with the mantle; black in black, the dark one in the other mantles, brown in the mantle mahogany.
Nasal cane - Rectilinear.
For the length and its direction in relationship with the axis of the skull you see: Head.
Its width, measured to the half of its length, must catch up approximately. 20% of the total length of the head and approximately 50% of the length of the nasal cane.
Labbra and snout the labbra of are often woven, abundant and heavy.
The labbra advanced, sights dl forehead, determine to their inferior margin and just to their conjunction, a "V" turned upside down, are abundant and therefore the front face of the snout very is developed in height and moreover is very developed in width. Moreover, given parallelism of the lateral faces of the snout, the front face must be introduced flat and the quadrature of the snout is had therefore.
Lateral the inferior profile of the snout is given from the labbra and the point more low is given does not give the labbra, but from the labiale commessura. The labiale commessura is emphasized and its very visible mucosa, that is, the mucosa of the eyelet given from the fold of the labbro advanced with the inferior dev' to be discovered.
The profile lateral antero-inferior of the snout introduces a semicircle to rope enough sluice.
The length of the snout corresponds to the length of the nasal cane.
The buccal rhyme is long so that the labiale commessura must succeed in to meet the perpendicular descent from the external angle of the eye.
Jaws - Sturdy, very developed and with arched dental perfectly combaciantisi and that is with I recorded of the advanced jaw that graze with theirs make the front face posterior of recorded to you of the jaw, (set of teeth to you to scissor) or that the decorations finish them of I recorded to you advanced are in perfect opposition with those of I recorded inferior (set of teeth to you to tenaglia).
The sturdiest branches of the jaw stretch to the profile ricurvo, species in their posterior part.
The body of the jaw must very be developed front and never escaping to form nearly a support or support to the labbra inferior to their conjunction.
Teeth white men, regularly align, complete for development and number to you.
Depression nose-facade - the depression nose-facade, or stop - - it has the lateral profiles that are given from the confluence of the front portions of frontal boneses, from the aborali features of two nasal boneses and from the advanced features of two advanced maxillary boneses.
The depression nose-facade must introduce an angle to approximately 90° if considered breast-nasal and from 120° to 130° if measured nose-facade.
Skull - its length must be equal to the 2/3 of the total length of the head and the bizigomatica width catches up the own length.
The zigomatiche arched ones are marked, protendono, a lot, to the outside, offering one adapted insertion to muscles to massetere and thunderstorm.
Of shape seen spheroid of forehead; profile approval is approached this shape, except in its advanced aborale part that is between the insertions of the orecchie, that it is flat. The frontal breasts are a lot develop to you. Sutura medium marked methodical facade or.
The apophysis or pronounced crest occipita them.
Ear - Small in connection with the size of the dog, of triangular shape, inserted a lot above the zigomatica arched one, if left integral it is pendant, plate, it joins to the cheek and to the parotidea region and in length it does not have to surpass the margin of the throat.
To the insertion the ear is leggermente saliente and then it falls abruptly. If the ear is amputated it comes nearly cut completely and to tip so as to to form a nearly equilateral triangle.
Eye - the eyelids must normally be adherent to the eyeball (neither ectropio neither entropio). The eyes, situate in position sub-facade to you, they are well distances to you from the other with palpebral rhyme that stretches to the round one, and, because of not well opened the abundant sopracciliare skin and, appears oval.
