i think i'd find it difficult (probably impossible) to snap the neck of a mastiff or rottweiller,
one tactic that worked for me (a lot) was to pretend to pick up something off the ground as if i was going to launch it at the dog,
believe me, it worked almost all of the time
if u are truly in a desperate situation with a dog and fear for your life, and in a position to do this,
get hold of it's front legs and force them outwards, it will crush its chest, or at least cause it so much damage and pain it will cease it's attack.
