Standard Poodle Q&A

I am getting a male BullMastiff in two weeks when he is ready to leave his mother. I have a two year old male St. Bernard who is very good natured and has an excellent temperment. Do I need to anticipate any problems with the same sex aggression male/male? I read an article stating that a male bullmastiff will attack another male dog and I am concerned about this.

No, if the Bullmastiff grows up with the St. Bernard and learns to trust him, they will be fine. When you introduce them try to keep them in neutrul ground, away from sleeping quarters or food. And make sure the St. Bernard knows he is still top dog until the Bullmastiff grows up.


Bullmastiffs are generally good natured dogs. I agree that as long as he grows up with your St. Bernard he should be fine. However an important question to ask the breeder would be what kind of temperament do the parents have because that is a trait that tends to be passed on in these dogs.


Its always a good idea to watch them closely, any dominant males can cause an uprising in a once peaceful home, regardless if they grew up together! Chances are they probably wont get into it too badly but always be prepared!
