The Bullmastiff is a descendant of the English Mastiff and Old English Bulldog. The Bullmastiff originated in England with records that date back to the turn of the 18th century. Originally, the dog was used to assail poachers. Games keepers used it to track, tackle, and pin the poachers down without ever biting them. The gaming authorities detained intruders. When games keepers had reduced utility for the Bullmastiff breed, its coloration turned a lighter fawn. They no longer needed to be disguised with the environment. They were then adopted for use in law enforcement, hunting, army training, and as a guard and watchdog. Bullmastiffs do best indoors with a family, and the dog is good for protection, but it will not attack. This is a good or bad thing depending on the nature of the assailant. The Bullmastiff dog mostly immobilizes the attacker or stands in between the family and the burglar or attacker.

The Bullmastiff weighs between 110 and 140 pounds for males, and it weighs between 100 and 120 pounds for females. It's 24 to 27 inches at the withers. Tumors, cancers, boils, and bloat are its main problems. Feed small, concise meals throughout the day instead of large, single meals. It loathes temperature extremes, and it does well indoors even though it’s quite large. It's pretty inactive, and a small fenced yard is just right. They live about 10 years max, and they have about 8 puppies per litter. The Bullmastiff dog sheds irregularly and minimally. It needs firm bristle brushing regularly to keep its short coat in good condition. Don't shampoo or wash much.

The Bullmastiff is a lethargic dog that likes to lounge around and do nothing. Stoke him into a moderate exercise schedule that he's comfortable with. This drooling, slobbering, snoring, messy breed doesn't like harsh tones in your voice, and it shouldn't be punished by being sent away, snapped at, or spanked. Don't throw it in the kennel ever. It can become aggressive in maturity if its not introduced to other dogs and people early on. This Bullmastiff dog is powerful and can knock someone over with its brute force. Don't let it pull you on the leash. This dog has contrasting personalities. On the one hand, it's affectionate and eager to get human attention. On the other side, it will attack and pin an assailant or thief. It's a good guard and watchdog.

The Bullmastiff has a wide swatch of forehead that has many wrinkles. It has a square-shaped, black muzzle, and it has energetic, witty, intelligent hazel eyes. The Bullmastiff dog’s short coat is brindle, fawn, tan, or red. Its pendant ears hang down and are spread far apart, and its teeth are organized in a level bite. Bullmastiffs are good for firm, kind pet owners.
