Good to know
- Gamekeeper's dog: bred in England to stop and hold poachers, they are protective, quiet and confident guardians.
- Calm indoors: they are usually docile at home and need only moderate daily exercise.
- Needs early training: their size and strength mean early socialization and consistent training are essential.
- Drool and heat: they can drool and, with their short muzzle, should be kept cool in hot weather.
Getting out with a Bullmastiff
They're happy with shorter, easy walks. Keep outings gentle in the heat.
