What is the Bullmastiff all about
The Bullmastiff’s known history in England begins around 1860,
when they were developed to keep large estates and game
preserves free
of poachers. Gameskeepers needed a dog that could track quietly,
cover short distances quickly and pin and hold poachers without
mauling them. The foundation breeding was 60% Mastiff and 40% Bulldog; breeders were hoping to create a dog faster and more aggressive than the Mastiff, yet bigger than and not as ferocious
asthe Bulldog.The Bullmastiff is a strong and powerfully built animal that
possesses great intelligence and a willingness to please, making
them ideal family companions and protectors. Although large, the breed
remains both agile and active and is successful in conformation, obedience, agility, tracking, carting and therapy work. The
Bullmastiff’s coat may be red, fawn or brindle.
The Bullmastiff is fearless and confident, yet remains docile and
sweet-natured with his family. They are natural guardians of the
home, but do not bark much, as silence was a virtue when guarding estates. Bullmastiffs are independent thinkers and may not respond
to traditional obedience training. The breed does not require much exercise or grooming, and can live happily in a house or apartment.
The head has wrinkled skin on the surface and is broad in size,
though short. The square shape contains a muzzle that's about
one third of the entire head's size with a dark coloring. With a
black nose and larger nostrils, the Bullmastiff is punctuated by piercing
hazel eyes that have a focused and intelligent appearance. The ears of
the Bullmastiff are set wide on the head and are dark in color and
have a v shape. The shortened back portion of this breed is straight and is
on the same level as the loin and the withers of the dog. The tail is
set high and tapers, reaching to the backs of the legs.
Bullmastiffs crave attention and get along well with other pets if
they are raised with them and socialized early in life. Bullmastiffs tolerate being left alone well, and may fit quite well into a family
where both everyone is out of the house during the day. Of course,
as a puppy, they will require someone coming home during the afternoon.
If not handled well, and trained early in life, they may act
aggressive with strangers and strange dogs. They also get along
well with
children, but their size can be a problem for toddlers.
Bullmastiffs, once attached to you and your family, become some
of the most dedicated, best friend you can have in a dog. They p
rotect you fiercely with their life.
