The foundation stock of this breed is 60% English Mastiff and 40% Bulldog. These dogs were bred to act as the gamekeeper's assistant with the ability to chase and immobilize poachers on the estates. Their speed, strength and endurance enabled them to overtake and capture intruders without mauling or killing them. Handsome and powerful, these dogs have spread throughout the continents of the world. Bullmastiffs can be a stubborn breed, resistant to obedience training and can be overly protective of their human families. They must be properly socialized to strangers and other dogs. Their short coat needs little grooming and comes in fawn, red, red brindle and black brindle. They weigh 90 to 130 lbs. and stand 25-27" at the shoulders.
