Bullmastiffs are the gentle giants of the dog world. However, because they're so large, they need lots of space. Bullmastiffs are powerful, stubborn, and fearless, so they should be accustomed to strangers at an early age. They're sometimes aggressive with other dogs, and they drool. Bullmastiffs are working dogs. Working dogs pull sleds and carts, guard homes, and serve in the military. Because these dogs are intelligent and capable of learning almost anything, they make excellent companions. Their very size can make them difficult to control, so they must be trained by a competent professional. Most working dogs are pack dogs, so they're often aggressive with strange dogs and other pets. Origin: Great Britain Height: 24" - 27" Weight: 100 - 130 pounds Coat: Hard and short. Brush occasionally. Colors: Fawn, red, or brindle. Muzzle is always black. Small white spot allowed on chest. Eyes are dark; nose is black. Special Considerations: This is a short-lived breed; the average life span is 10 years. Because Bullmastiffs are extremely powerful, they're not recommended for novice dog fanciers. |
