Bullmastiff information
The Bullmastiff is massive,
very powerfully built, but is not a cumbersome dog. The large,
broad skull is wrinkled and the muzzle is broad, deep and
usually darker in color. The forehead is flat and the stop is
moderate. The black nose is wide and has large nostrils. The
teeth meet in a level or undershot bite. The medium sized eyes
are dark hazel. The V-shaped ears are set high and wide carried
close to the cheeks giving a square appearance to the skull. The
strong tail is set high, thicker at the root and tapering and is
either straight or curved, and reaches to the hocks. The back is
short, straight and level between the withers and the loin. The
short, dense, slightly rough coat comes in brindle, fawn, or
red, often with black markings on the head.
Temperament
The
Bullmastiff is a devoted, alert guard dog, with a good-natured
temperament. Docile and affectionate, but fearless if provoked.
Although unlikely to attack, it will catch an intruder, knock
him down and hold him. At the same time, it is tolerant of
children. Intelligent, even-tempered, calm and loyal. These dogs
crave human leadership. The Bullmastiff is extremely powerful
and needs a firm master, who is confident and consistent with
the rules set upon the dog. They should be thoroughly obedience
trained, and should be taught not to pull on the leash. When
going in and out gateways or doorways the dog should allow the
humans to enter and exit first out of pack respect, because in
the dog's mind, the leader goes first. The dog must heel beside
or behind the human. This is most important as not only do dogs
have migration instincts and need to walk daily, but instinct
tells a dog the pack leader goes first. Be sure to socialize
extensively with both people and other dogs at an early age.
They can be okay with other pets, depending on how well the
owners communicate with the dog. The Bullmastiff is a more
dominant breed than the Mastiff. He tends to drool, slobber and
snore. Puppies may seem uncoordinated. These dogs are very
sensitive to the tone of your voice and need someone to speak
with an air of assertiveness, but not harshly. It is not a
difficult dog but does require a handler who can assert his
authority. The Bullmastiff should never be banished to a kennel.
Meek or passive owners will find it hard to control this dog. It
will appear willful, possibly aggressive with other dogs and
reserved with strangers if owners do not take the time to
socialize, and know how to properly communicate what is expected
in a meaningful manner.

Needs
Bullmastiffs need to be taken on a daily walk to fulfill their
primal canine instinct to migrate. Those individuals who do not
get this need met are more likely to have behavior issues.
While out on the walk the dog must be made to heel beside or
behind the person holding the lead, as in a dog's mind the
leader leads the way, and that leader needs to be the human.
Teach them to enter and exit all door and gateways after the
human.
Bullmastiffs will do okay in an
apartment if it is sufficiently exercised. It is relatively
inactive indoors and a small yard will do. They can not tolerate
extremes of temperatures.
Grooming
The short-haired, slightly
rough coat is easy to groom. Comb and brush with a firm bristle
brush, and shampoo only when necessary. There is little shedding
with this breed. Check the feet regularly because they carry a
lot of weight, and trim the nails.
Bullmastiff Origins
The Bullmastiff was
obtained by crossing 60%
Mastiffs with 40% Bulldogs in the country of England. Mastiff Bulldog types can be found in records as early back as
1795. In 1924 Bullmastiffs began to be judged. Three generations
of breeding of Bullmastiffs was required for Bullmastiffs to be
registered as purebreds.
The Bullmastiff was used as a gamekeeper's dog to track down,
tackle and hold poachers. The dogs were fierce and threatening,
but were trained not to bite the intruders. When the need for
gamekeeper's dogs decreased, the dark brindle dogs so good for
night camouflage gave way in popularity to the lighter fawn
coloration. It has been prized as a hunting guard, as an aid in
army and police work, and is used as a watchdog by the Diamond
Society of South Africa. Today's Bullmastiff is a reliable
family companion and guardian. It enjoys living with the family,
with whom it comforts itself well.
