Bullmastiff
Formidable and protective
Bullmastiffs 101
Working groupThe Bullmastiff is a strong, protective breed that thrives in the hands of those experienced with guardian dogs. They are intelligent, active and devoted to their families, although they're not fond of strangers. And while they love their families, they may be too physical and large to be recommended for families with small children. This is not a breed for beginners, but those who can handle it will enjoy the company of a dog who'll never back down from a threat.

Bullmastiff coat care and colors
Nothing could be easier. Weekly brushing and regular nail-trims (get them used to it early) take care of most grooming needs. Keep any skin folds clean and dry, and check regularly for odors, irritation or redness.
