Been researching for awhile now and decided that i'm going to get either a neopolitan mastiff or a english mastiff. which would you choose?

english get a bit bigger but the neo's look meaner IMO

i need a very intimidating breed to scare away potential home invaders. english mastiffs usually around 200lbs for males neo's 170 or so.

Wasnt aware that appearance was an indicator of aggression in dogs.

no, u misunderstood. he was wanting a dog that looks mean for home defense, versus getting a pet that is badass and you love. that dog just looks like ***...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

those are sweet but still too small. and lemans, apparntly beauty is in the eye of the beholder becasue the dogs you named are not good looking in my opinion. and i don't just want one for home protection either. mastiffs are wonderful family oriented dogs, it just so happens that they are extremely large and intimidating.
