General History
Bullmastiffs are powerfully built dogs and have great strength. The Bullmastiff was bred to be a working dog. They originated in England and were bred crossing the Old English Bulldog and the English Mastiff. These
breeds were chosen for speed, agility, tenacity, strength and courage; to catch, down and hold a man without savaging or mauling. They had to protect the gamekeeper from poachers and therefore had to be fearless, fast, powerful, manageable and quiet. They also had to be relatively independent, intelligent but trainable.
Today this breed is a companion and family dog, but also a formidable protective guard dog. They are by nature not really very active and do not bark without reason. The purposeful and purebred Bullmastiff is stable, dependable, sound, reliable, faithful, loyal, alert and stubborn.
This dog will grow into a big, heavy, strong and gentle dog, but socialisation and puppy classes are essential. I would suggest taking children along to the puppy classes, as it also teaches children about big dog behaviour. They must be treated with love and respect.
If you have your heart set on a bullmastiff for your next family member, you have a few options available to you. Although purebred puppies are sometimes available for adoption via shelters and private rescue groups, you will more often find mixed-breed puppies or adult purebred dogs. If you must have a purebred puppy, your best option is to find a reputable bullmastiff breeder who is dedicated to raising healthy, temperamentally sound bullmastiff puppies.
