New Zealand has plenty of Mastiffs here which in your country would be termed English Mastiffs, and we have Neopolitan Mastiffs too but not many. I have a near neighbour who had two Mastiffs until a year ago when both died. Mastiffs are generally a better behaved breed of dog in comparison with Bull Mastiffs.
As for Cane Corsos - here in NZ they are known as Italian Corsos and there are perhaps two or three but no breeding pair.
When you say a 'hardy' breed what do you mean. As far as longevity, they are typical of the large breeds and their life expectancy is 8-10 in comparison to a Corgi at 13-15. I would say that Mastiffs and the like have a lot more health problems overall than do Corgis.
