levelheaded and steady dog. He gets along very well with other family pets and loves children. Despite their large size, these dogs are relatively agile animals with great strength and endurance. This breed was created by crossing Mastiffs with Bulldogs in England in the early 1920's - 60% Mastiff, 40% Bulldog. Typically, dogs are around 25 and 27 in. tall at the withers and between 110 and 130 lbs. while bitches are usually between 24 and 26 in. tall and 100 to 120 lbs. in weight when completely mature. He is both brave and protective of his family. Bred to sneak up on poachers, the Bullmastiff often barks much less than other breeds - he saves his large, deep bark for really important matters. Bred to be guardians and protectors these dogs are fairly quiet. They are bred to approach any intruder and knock them over with its massive size.

Next, they pin them to the ground, or, will simply stand in front of the stranger/intruder and refuse to let them pass until help comes. He is very large and strong, so early obedience training for puppies is a must. Early socialization is a must as well for a dog this big and powerful once it becomes an adult. As a puppy, his chewing needs are big too. More aggressive than the mastiff, these dogs need a handler who can assert his dominance with ease. As a general rule, tone of voice needed to work with these dogs generally never needs to be loud or harsh as they are quite sensitive. Be forewarned, this breed does drool and slobber.
