This citation for this statement is a broken link. While Neapolitan type dogs may have been used to work cattle, and there are anecdotes that imply Camorra members used them in dog fighting, I've never seen any source that implies they were used for baiting. This seems to be the same myth that they fought in the arena. There is confirmed evidence of a Bordeaux being matched against a Jaguar, but Neapolitans did not exist at the time.
The same section also calls Scanziani Italian. http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/ea.cgi?150521 While the Neapolitan is an Italian breed, Scanziani was Swiss. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.50.5.100 ( talk) 06:19, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
Furthermore, Jaguars are a new world genus and as such the time frame during which baiting was widely popular and socially acceptable and the modern Neapolitan Mastiff breed would have been 0. At best, jaguar should be replaced with leopard, but I tend to doubt the veracity of the link that is used to support this. I would support removing this statement. 129.24.131.23 ( talk) 00:47, 9 February 2019 (UTC)
All this seems to be is the Neapolitan Mastiff before it was recognised by the ENCI in 1949; it's not a breed or even a population, but an organisation that hopes to create one. As such, it fails WP:NCORP. Justlettersandnumbers ( talk) 22:01, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
You can progress this now, JLAN. William Harris talk 08:27, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
This page is heavily overloaded with images – Commons is the place for an extensive image gallery. I propose reducing the total number to five (one in the infobox, four in a gallery). I'd welcome comment on that idea, and on which images they should be. Ping the editors who contributed to this talk-page, William Harris, Cavalryman, Sagaciousphil and Hafspajen (the last two perhaps no longer active?).

Pictured dogs didn't even resemble Piero Scanziani's breed standard. I changed the pictures, taking others from commons:Category:Neapolitan Mastiff.

Well, Est. 2021, I don't know how you're able to tell from the very sparse descriptions of these various images which are and which are not "pureblooded" – I know I can't; and even if the Polish dog is "pureblooded", we certainly wouldn't need two pictures of it. After a quick look, the only even vaguely usable one I can see that is definitely taken in Italy is File:Neapolitan Mastiff (mastino napoletano).jpg. Your thoughts on that for the infobox? And on then having the Siento image in the history section, and nothing more? Justlettersandnumbers ( talk) 18:02, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
