The mastiff with another male dog

[steffx]

Hello,
I'm looking for information about the Mastiff. We're thinking about getting a 4th dog and last night we found this really cute Dogue de Bordeaux (French Mastiff).
We already have a Siberian Husky (Female), a Beagle (Female) and an Old English Sheep Dog (Male), and before getting the Mastiff, I just want to be sure it'll be ok for everybody.

The mastiff puppy is 12 weeks old. My only concern is how does he interact with other male dogs. I'm very afraid that him and my old English sheep dog won't get along.
I read that the Mastiff is dominant and doesn't play well with other males, and then some people say he's the most lovable dog. So I"m confused.

Do you have have any advice?
Thank you
Steve

I suggest researching the breed and breeder before jumping in.
There are so many BYB out there breeding poor and unhealthy representations of the breed for a quick buck. I would strongly advise anyone to avoid that sort of breeder like the plague. Sure the pups maybe cheaper then going to a reputable breeder, but in the long run the dogs cost way more.
However if you have found a great breeder then good on you
I do not have DDB's but Cane Corso and I can tell you they are dominant, at least mine are.
That said, a young male and an older one should do fine if they are not intact, or one isn't. The trouble is if you have intact males and females that is when issues usually arise. If it is monitored and with proper training it should all be fine with the dogs in the DDB's pack.
I wouldn't ever have any other type of dog, however there are plenty of different Mastiffs that I want
