Breed type is the very essence of every breed.  Breed type consists of those qualities that set one breed apart from every other breed.  Breed type includes the dog's appearance, movement, and character. 

The blue print for every breed is found in the breed standard.  Every breed has a detailed written breed standard which defines correct breed type. 

A Mastiff which looks, moves, and acts in a manner which closely conforms to the written standard of the breed is a typey Mastiff.

"If you don't breed your mastiffs for temperament, you have caused a tragic
problem.

If you don't breed your mastiffs for health, you have broken
someone's heart.

If you don't breed your mastiffs for type you are
not breeding mastiffs."

---Robin & Stephen O'Connor, Celtic Mastiffs
