General Description

(Bull Mastiff) The Bullmastiff is massively and powerfully built, but he is not cumbersome or awkward. Their backs are short, straight, and level between the withers and loin. Their large heads are broad and wrinkled and feature a comparatively short, square-shaped, dark muzzle that is about 1/3 of the length of their head. Their nose is black with large, open nostrils, and their eyes are medium-sized and dark hazel in color. Bullmastiffs have v-shaped, wide-set ears that are dark in color and pendant-shaped. Their teeth meet in a level or slightly undershot bite, and their tails are tapered and high-set. Bullmastiffs have a short-haired coat that is slightly rough in texture. It comes in a variety of colors including brindle, red, or fawn. Frequently, the coat of this breed will feature black markings on the head.

Character

The Bullmastiff is a loyal, devoted breed of guard dog that is always alert and protective. Although he is fearless and brave, the Bullmastiff is docile unless provoked. This breed will not attack just anyone, but they will catch intruders and knock them onto the ground. They do not bite and they are not aggressive unless directly threatened. Bullmastiffs have a good-natured, loving temperament, and they are tolerant of children. They are even-tempered, intelligent, and they crave human affection. Because of their large size and powerful presence, Bullmastiffs need a firm master. This breed should be trained for safety and should be socialized with other people and dogs from an early age. Bullmastiffs are generally reserved with strangers and they can be aggressive with other dogs. If raised with pets and animals, Bullmastiffs can learn to get along with other pets in the household. This breed tends to drool and snore.

History

Developed in England in 1924, the Bullmastiff was obtained by crossing Bulldogs and Mastiffs. The Bullmastiff was initially utilized as a gamekeeper’s dog- to track down poachers and tackle them to the ground. Once the need for gamekeeper’s dogs decreased, the Bullmastiff was bred with a lighter, more desirable coat color. Initially the Bullmastiff was bred with a dark coat color to camouflage into the night. Today, the Bullmastiff is prized as a hunting guard, a police worker, an army aid, and a watchdog.

*

They are also used as Therapy Dogs.

Maintenance

The Bullmastiff has a short-haired coat that is easy to groom and care for. This breed’s coat should be brushed with a firm bristle brush and shampooed only as necessary. Bullmastiffs shed little to no hair. The feet of this breed should be regularly checked and their nails should be kept trimmed.

Ideal Environment

Bullmastiffs have a tendency to become lazy, so frequent exercise is needed to maintain a healthy lifestyle. This breed should not be overfed. Bullmastiffs can live happily in a small household or apartment if they are given sufficient exercise. They are comparatively inactive indoors, and a small yard will do. Bullmastiffs cannot tolerate extreme climates.

*

Exercise should be limited in the first months of a Bullmastiffs life so that no strain is put on the joints and ligaments. Any activities that involve jumping and climbing stairs should be avoided.

Dog Training!

If you're having problems training your dog or getting control, you should read our review of DogProblems.com.  Adam will do whatever it takes to help you whip your dog into shape. I've used them to help with my Great Dane as well as help friends train their dogs. It's the first place I go to help answer users Questions. Many training issues are too extensive to answer in this forum, which is why I refer a lot of the load to his site.

Update: I've been using and recommending DogProblems for three years now. I, as well as my users, value the techniques we've learned. I get weekly emails from users who have become better owners from the information they received.

    What are the symptoms?

    My 8 month old puppy is walking on only 3 legs. I'm unsure if she's pulled a muscle, or maybe broken a toe (which I hear is common with bullmastiffs). How can I tell what the problem is?
