📜History | Since ancient times, seafaring from East to West in the Mediterranean region has led to the exchange of culture and science between nations. Among these were watch and guard dogs which were needed in harbours and coastal settlements as a protection against pirates and robbers coming in by sea. The breed accompanied King Jacob 1 on his conquests and arrived in the Balearics around the year 1230. The Majorca Mastiff has roots in the Iberian Peninsula and has been refined over generations. |
