Bullmastiff

The Bullmastiff originated in England as a gamekeeper's guard dog, bred to silently apprehend poachers. This giant breed combines strength and calmness, making it a devoted family protector. While generally gentle with children, Bullmastiffs can be reserved with strangers and require early socialization. Their short coat is easy to maintain, and they need moderate daily exercise to stay healthy. Due to their size and temperament, they are best suited for experienced owners with a home that offers ample space. Regular veterinary care is important to monitor health concerns common in large breeds.
