Marsh mastiffs

Marsh mastiffs are tall, domesticated dogs found wherever the Dúnedain have resided or had extensive commercial links. They have long legs and short wiry coats, which are usually colored dark brown or russet. Well-liked by shepherds, herders, and hunters, they can be trained to many tasks. They are sure-footed, are good swimmers, and have keen noses. Above all, they are fearless and loyal to their masters. Therefore, they are often equipped with collars (and even leather coats).
