A race either Mastiff or Bull-dog, or both, was, says Smith, existent in Britain before the Romans. This race is supposed to have been the progenitor of the breed of Talbot-dogs of mediaeval times, and they again of the modern Mastiff, which some hold to be identical, whilst others think that the Talbot was something between a Mastiff and a Bull-dog. The typical form, according to the above-mentioned authority, is the Thibetan. The English modern Mastiff has been much crossed with the Bull-dog (S.). The following table includes several varieties.
