Neapolitan Mastiffs (also known as “Neos” for short) have beautiful coats in various colours. The list includes the following:
Tan brindle
Tawny
Mahogany
Solid gray
Black
Some Neos are used in show rings. But those born with a white spot on their heads are automatically disqualified. Nonetheless, these versions still make good guardians and fascinating companions. The skin of these dogs is abundant and thick. Their coats are dense and short and are the same length throughout their bodies. Meanwhile, their faces comprise several folds and wrinkles. These parts need regular cleaning.
Neos typically shed. For this reason, they need weekly brushing using a hound glove or a bristle brush. What about bathing? Neos don’t need daily baths. Wash them only when you deem it necessary. And get ready to get wet!
