    Bullmastiff

    Bullmastiffs are powerful looking dogs that are a result of crossing an Old English Mastiff with a Bulldog. Originally bred to help gamekeepers track down poachers these large dogs have become popular companions not only here in the UK but elsewhere in the world too. They are intelligent and alert characters making them easy to train but they do like to know why they are doing anything which is something to bear in mind when training a Bullmastiff. They are known to be high-spirited and quickly become devoted members of a family always ready to protect the people they love and their property.
