Denmark

The Broholmer, or Danish Mastiff, is native to Denmark, a country characterized by a temperate maritime climate. The region experiences mild winters and cool summers, with moderate precipitation throughout the year. Denmark's landscape is largely flat with some rolling hills, and it includes a mix of agricultural land, forests, and coastal areas.

Traditionally, the Broholmer was used as a guard dog and herding dog on large estates and farms. They are well-adapted to living in rural environments where they have ample space for exercise and guarding duties. Their ecological niche involves being a protector and working companion, thriving in environments where they can serve as both vigilant guardians and gentle family companions.
