Coat:
Having a great coat for weather
protection, the hair on the Bullmastiff is very
short. With a distinct black mask around muzzle, the
coat on this breed should be dense and somewhat
coarse to the touch.
Overview:
The Bullmastiff makes a great
companion, and guard dog. Although intimidating at
times, this breed can be very affectionate. Loving
human attention, this breed is calm, gentle, and
even-tempered.
Character:
Being shy around strangers,
this dog should be properly socialized during
puppyhood. Used many times as an alert or guard dog,
this breed should also be introduced to other
animals at an early stage to avoid any altercations
that may arise. The Bullmastiff is a powerful, yet
at times docile breed.
Temperament:
This willful dog requires
a firm trainer to avoid any dominance issues. The
Bullmastiff is fairly good-natured, sweet, and
loveable, however this dog is not recommended for
the average owner. His sheer size means he should
not be placed in a home with small children as
unintentionally, this breed can easily knock a child
down.
Care:
A firm bristle brush or rubber
brush should be used on this breed occasionally to
remove any dead or loose hair. Very little shedding,
the Bullmastiff does not require much maintenance
when it comes to grooming. As this dog does tend to
slobber, the mouth should be regularly cleaned.
Training:
The Bullmastiff is sensitive
to the tone of your voice, but should be handled
firmly if this breed is to succeed in training. Can
do well in obedience training, and does
exceptionally well as a guard or watch dog.
Activity:
A lazy breed, to avoid weight
problems this breed should be sufficiently exercised
regularly. The Bullmastiff does enjoy long walks or
jogs, and would do well with an average sized yard.
