Standard Written by the Designer Breed Registry 2019 MASTADOR TEMPERAMENT written by : Melinda Faulkner |
Mastadors have been observed to have other mellowed character traits that allow them to function independently without being obsessed and capable of obedience without total dependence. They also have the right
amount of affection with the right amount of protection.
Their natural protectiveness is non-aggressive, as they use intimidation. Since they use stealth, non-barking, memory (taking pause to identify) and body language (head straight out, tail up, steps forward or between),
they make great guardians for indoor, outdoor, small or large areas and should not have the legal liability issues that come from aggressive breeds or guard dogs.
Mastadors are equally, naturally affectionate in a non-obsessive way. They will openly show affection by any means their family allows: cuddling in bed, gently sitting in you lap, sitting next to you on the sofa, laying
nearby while you are on the computer or other activities. They love what you love. Because they are very observant and attentive to the needs and routine of their families they can easily understand to stay by your
side or out of your main pathway so you don’t fall.
Witnesses have seen Mastadors successfully performing the following jobs: Therapy dog, Nursing duties (also identification of human maladies), rescuing humans and other animals, Livestock Guardian, Household
Guardian, Personal (human) Guardian, some herding, and what is known as the “Lassie maneuver” (going to get help).
The Mastador communicates mostly with their bodies and barking is rarely used. Mastadors have strong jaws for eating bones, but are capable of transporting and caring for an egg without breaking it. They are early
and quick learners with long memories and make accurate and balanced decisions based on their family’s needs and/or routine. Judiciously using their bodily strength and accuracy to serve the family…..from the
largest/strongest family members to the smallest/weakest family members.
The Mastador temperament and energy makes a very versatile companion for high, medium, or low activity individuals and families of any age combination or size. Mastadors are versatile enough for city apartments,
suburban homes, country and/or farms. Training/monitoring of any dog, of any size, is always recommended for small children
