My Bullmastiff is 2 years old now. I made sure he got used to being around other people and other dogs since I got him at 12 weeks old. He is the most friendly, affectionate dog I have ever owned. His drooling happens right after drinking water and that is it so far. With any larger breed, it is wise to meet mom and dad as I did. They both had a great temperament and that is why I picked him over another pup that a different breeder was selling.
My wife and I have had 7 over 27 years and a dozen or so we fostered over the years. At 60 years old I would not consider any of bread. Train them right and they will be the best companion ever.
I live with 2 bullmastiffs. When they're in public we do the "bullmastiff 2-step": take 2 steps, get stopped by "OMG THAT DOG IS AMAZING!". Then the questions: how much do they eat? (about 4 cups a day) do they need a lot of room?(no, just a big couch to lay on) are they slobbery?(Yes but what's a little spit between friends) etc. Take 2 more steps and repeat...
Lol 😆 Yep. I have a 55kg black & brindle Bullmastiff x Neo
Non stop questions
People have swerved around corners skidded to a stop and jumped out of their cars freaking me out. I've had people yelling from across the street.
Very accurate, thanks. And so so so so true about the attention they draw. I have my script down cold from origin of the breed, to what they eat (which is an all raw diet). One thing I would add - full disclosure I have 2 Bullmastiffs, male and female - these dogs are much bigger than "advertised". My 3 yr old male is 160lbs and you can still see his ribs and veins in his legs. The female looks like a twerp and she's 120 lbs. Incredibly powerful dogs. And the last thing I would add is the change in temperment from puppy to adult. My kids started out like carefree happy dogs everywhere we went and I questioned if they would actually guard anything. Now as adults, its a very different story. The develop a side that is all business. Be prepared for that. Great video, thanks for sharing. Happy to share pictures if theres a way to do that
I grew up in the small village of Houghton Regis Bedfordshire, the game keepers had two Bull Mastiffs both brindles, and they would walk them on the village green, They were employed by Colonel Park to guard his estate. Even now at 73 i find them an impressive breed of dog.
I have two Bullmastiffs, and they’re seriously one of the best things to happen to me. Such good dogs.
We absolutely adore our big boy. He is 8 now & starting to slow down & get very grey.
So much personality & probably the brightest dog I've ever met, although he hides it well.
I could honestly do without the slobber though.
I bred bullmastiffs for many years when I lived in Kelowna. By far my favorite breed
I had one called Archie so loving and loyal miss him a lot
Will is by far one of the most knowledgeable people in the world on multiple breeds, especially larger breeds such as these and Rottweiler’s. From Australia
This channel helped me so much in finalizing the decision that the bullmastiff would be a perfect addition to my life! And the experts were not wrong! My Willow is now 8 months old and an absolute dream, although currently going through a sassy teenage phase. Excellent video and 100% accurate
Ours at six months is great with family and guests very loving we have kept her socialized from the start take her to every kids sports games newest problems we are dealing with is jumping up on tables and eating vegetation and sticks in our rural setting started giving her carrots and green beans and spinach cubes hopefully this helps with her eating grass
You do an amazing job with your videos. I love the Bull Mastiff, I unfortunately I’m allergic to dogs, and can’t have one. I was able to play with 2 of them outside over the years. They are just so loving. I believe if they didn’t drool they would be a top 5 dog bread. Thank you so much for the videos
I rescued a bullmastiff he past away in 2016 I have a pit now but hands down bullmastiff is amazing breed and I so won't one again my old bullmastiff help me so much with my mental health and best breed hands down I am a bullmastiff lover for life
Im leaning more towards this breed than the cane corso
If you love excersize, the Corso. If you love having an unchewed sofa & brief walks or simply allowing outside potty time in yard, Bullmastiff. I'm lazy & my Bullmastiff is a perfect match.
same
Corsos can be a handful. Powerful and energetic. Bulls love to sleep beside you and eat any threat. Either aren't easy to master, as they are strong, smart, and independent. Just be aware they both require full attention when off leash
Corsos are easy as
Every dog is different. My corso is "versitile" & doesn't require extreme exercise nor is she lazy. Honestly, she just likes to be in my company and has balance. Sometimes people put all breeds under the same umbrella even though every dog is different. Speaking for myself, the corso can display a lot of separation anxiety. More than the Presa & Boerboel in my opinion. I think a bullmastiff is definitely a good choice but as stated earlier, it depends on your lifestyle.
100% in agreement with every single comment listed with two lying at my feet. A 5 year old 76kg male and a manic 9 month old female… 😊
We had a bull mastiff. He was a wonderful dog till a medical condition took him from us. Not being able to find another that net our requirements we go a Boerboel and recently added an Anatolian Shepherd. Your spot on about the questions and spotting big dog lovers as walking these two monster babies either gets people giving us a wide berth or wanting to roll on the ground playing with them
I just got my bull mastiff and I love my lil guy he is the greatest 😊❤
Always my favourite breed!!!
Love this breed ❤
Two Cane Corsos killed an 11-year-old boy up here in Alberta Canada while he was visiting his dad. They said he was a kind and gentle boy who would never have antagonized them. His father had a roommate living with him who owned the dogs.
I am picking up my new Bullmastiff puppy in two weeks. This will be my second bull
mastiff. I wanted to do more with this dog and was wondering if you thought it would be realistic to train the dog how to track. I do understand this will have a lot to do with the individual dog. I live deep in the country and my kids like to roam the woods. I thought it would be cool to teach him how to track their scent in the event they ever get lost.
I agree to all of this, but especially the part about the attention.
People generally lose their s***, for better or worse, when they see my and my dog come walking down the street :)
Try walking with a Bull Terrier, you get bitchie remarks as well. Eg:- "what a ugly dog!" they say. I say, "My dog might think you are ugly too."🤣
I have a Bull Massif/ Bull Arab now.
He is so guffy and loving but huge! He wants to get on my lap😩ouch! over 60 kilos.
What happened to the Fenrir Canine channel and your video about the Alapaha blue blood bulldog?
I met a Bullmastiff Lab mix. His handler said no one wants to pet him. It was crystal clear he was a friendly dog. I obviously confirmed this with his handler before petting the ginormous pooch!
STUBBORN! I've had Amstaffs, Dobbies & Pitbulls. My Bullmastiff won't do it if she doesn't want to. My girl outweighs me & I can't make her do anything that she doesn't choose. Brilliant, beautiful & loyal but a "double poo bagger"!
👍I know! Mine is real stubborn too. He is almost lazy as well. Mine is 4years.
They powerful dogs
I have a 6 month old, he's extremely well mannered and loving, only thing he hasn't learned till now is potty training, sometimes i feel he does it on purpose! But he is as goofy as they come and loves meeting new people!
mine bullmastiff mastered potty training at 8 months. It takes time. You can check him out on CZcams @ Judah Da Bullmastiff
Same exact problem with my mastiff, he’s such a kind soul…. But is having a hard time potty training lol sometimes he waits till he comes inside to pee. Idk what I’m doing wrong???
@@angelashaw6628 I guess it is the first territory they have to mark is inside the house repeatedly to claim their territory. I put pads down everywhere mine would use it at and after while he started using on the pads. Then mine started using it outside and sometimes inside the house. After awhile, he just learned to hold it and get my attention to go outside. He would jump all on me urgently to get my attention. That's when I learned my dog language whenever he wants to go outside
@@larrymcadams831 I feel like he’s getting there. I’ll wait as long as it takes… praying for sooner than later 😁
@@larrymcadams831 Hi Larry just a little update Benji is getting much better at letting us know he needs to go outside. He has accidents here and there but I’m sure he’ll overcome them within the next month. So blessed to have such a loyal pup
My girl is about to turn 6months. Lovely and loyal but not easy. Agree with all the comments
My bullMASSIVE has just reached 1 yrs old, They do draw heaps of attention. they are so strong I am 80kg and can't control him when he wants to bolt when seeing a playmate. I need to get a better restraining harness instead of collar and lead arrangement. He is very independant, non agressive....... so far... I have had bigger dogs but this boy is more than a handful. 1 years old boyterous maniac, hope he calms down soon. if you want to chat to women he is a real chick magnet.

You mentioned a temperament test. Where can I find that? Thanks.
Volhard’s “Puppy Aptitude Test” 😊
Had bullmastiffs for 14 years, won’t see past them, have 2 the now with my 4 kids,
I'm at a loss i got a bul mastiff at a year old she has bit and attracted 5 people that was reaching first me not in a harmful way but I guess she took it that was I dint know much about her I have had her fir 5 years now she is no compliant a pain in my butt I never treated her like a dig I treated her like a baby girl I feed her with a spoon and fork I know i messed up with her but I can't get rid of her I woukdnever she is my life what should I do
Excellent: I have just been given a 4yr Bull Masiff/ Bull Arab.
You are right, mine is a gentle giant, but one track mind, and a bit stubborn.
I'm use to Bull Terriers, had 4 of them in my life, a bit the same really just bigger.
Question: do they have a lock jaw?
No, they don`t, and neither do Bull Terriers, that`s a myth...
@@ca9968
Bull Terriers do have a lock jaw, no myth mate. Do you homework on that one friend.😎👍
@@lovetruth5518 Nah, he’s right..
@@THISISLolesh
In the end of all conversations, DOGS are how we train them. Time, patiences, good food, fresh water, discipline and most of all ☆LOVE!💖👋👍
@@lovetruth5518 Well bro, you ain't been looking after your dog well if it had lockjaw, poor thing probably had tetanus.
That tiger brindlepair.of pups.will.not be fun to take out to park or wood s at dusk .as colouring is harder to see in low light very good looking
I got a brindle
Night they become invisible
I put a glow collar on mine
Ive had people who clearly aren't very knowledgeable, cross the street because of my super friendly black lab. But man, if i ever saw somebody just shaking their head??? I'd have to stop and ask them about it
Spent 5 minutes at the dog park yesterday trying to pry off a 120 lbs 1yr old intact bull mastiff from the throat of a golden retriever. 3 full grown men couldn't make him flinch
The old saddle joke lmao...
Hi ive got a 3/4 bullmastiff 1/4 ridgeback and wanting to get a bullmastiff friend for her would you recommend a dog or bitch do mastiff bitches get on?
Life experience is very very short. Lucky if you see 6 so not a breed that lives long that’s what I found out in Australia.
Too late I got one
who's the shakespeare knock off?
Your mother
Thanks beautiful breed but some very poor specimens shown!
