Meet the Broholmer, a massive, calm, and loyal breed from Denmark that looks like a cross between a mastiff and a teddy bear—and honestly? They kind of are. Traditionally used to guard estates and livestock, Broholmers are known today as dignified protectors and mellow family dogs. If you want a noble, loving, and impressively large best friend, the Broholmer might be the majestic floof you’ve been dreaming of.
✅ Calm & Collected: These gentle giants are laid-back, even-tempered, and rarely overreact.
✅ Loyal Protectors: They’re natural guardians without being aggressive—more like silent security guards who also love belly rubs.
✅ Loving & Affectionate: Despite their size, they’re cuddly with their people and great with children.
✅ Steady & Smart: Broholmers are intelligent and trainable, especially with calm, consistent leadership.
🐾 The breed dates back to the Middle Ages and was popular among Danish nobility for guarding manor houses.
🐾 They almost disappeared after WWII, but dedicated breeders revived the breed in the 1970s.
🐾 Despite being huge (100–150 lbs), they believe they’re lapdogs. Your legs have been warned.
This gentle, noble, and affectionate breed thrives in homes that offer space, structure, and love. They need moderate exercise, basic training, and close companionship—they don’t do well left alone too long. If you want a calm, family-friendly giant with a golden heart, the Broholmer might be the perfect fit.
