I was told Mastiffs naturally ground scent which is a huge part of the battle right there. Once you convince them that it is fun, they will track and keep tracking. They are really good at it!
I had to spend a lot more time on foundation work than some of the other teams and certainly was rewarding any of the desired behaviours more heavily than some of the other dogs required... But you have to CONVINCE a Mastiff that they really do want to do this. And once they hit that point, there is no stopping them. Sometimes, quite literally haha.
