Temperament
Fearless and confident yet docile. The dog combines the reliability, intelligence, and willingness to please required in a dependable family companion and protector.
Origin
The Bullmastiff originated in England in the 1800s. They share lineage with Old English Bulldog and the standard Mastiff. Because their history is steeped in guard duties, the Bullmastiff has been ideal as hunting guards in the African wilds and diamond mines, serves as army sentries, and police detection. Since the use as anti-poaching dogs had decreased, the Bullmastiff became the ideal family companion.
