Description

The Bullmastiff is a keen athlete and guardian who knows the difference between work and leisure. As a true Brit, this charismatic tough guy has his own independent opinion about everything, so only a strong-willed and persistent owner can change his mind. However, to call a Bullmastiff stubborn would be an exaggeration. These dogs don't like to confront their owners and prefer pleasant partnership and mutual understanding to useless confrontation. Bullmastiffs are silent; they never raise their voices without reason. The Bullmastiff isn’t a dog that is profitable to breed. It costs a lot more money to raise a dog than you make from selling puppies.
