The Bullmastiff was recognized by the British Kennel Club in 1924, but the "Bull-Mastiff", "Keeper's Nighdog" or "Mastiff
with a dash of Bull" have existed for centuries.
The old saying "You can not buy devotion, the next best thing is to buy a Bull-Mastiff" is still true. The Bullmastiff
is a reliable watchdog, devoted to his family and capable of differentiating between friend or foe. He will love the
children of the family and defend them with no hesitation.
The Bullmastiff is much more agile than his big-brother the Mastiff, he is active with a great endurance and loves to work.
