Description: The Bullmastiff shows great strength, endurance and alertness. He is a natural guardian of the home and will not back down from a fight. To strangers he is rather standoffish, but he is loving toward his owner and is normally very gentle, cheerful and calm. He makes a devoted, gentle companion. He is also known as the "gamekeeper's dog" because he was breed to accompany gamekeepers for the ability to track and overpower a poacher.

Temperment: The bullmastiff is gentle and quite, a devoted companion and guardian. It is not easily roused, but once threatened it is fearless. It is stubborn and cannot easily be goaded into action against its will. Some can be aggressive toward strange dogs, but it is generally good with other household dogs and pets. It is good with children, but it may not be playful enough to satifsfy some children. The Bullmastiff needs a firm but loving home. It is not for fragile or timid owners.
