I fed Teena raw. raw ground chicken from the butcher, carrots, apples, an egg and supplements. i was so lucky to find a gourmet butcher who ground the chickens which were not perfect enough for his shop. he ground them whole, bones and all. her poops consisted mainly of the bone meal - small, hard white turds that didn't smell. everything else she digested and used. she always got the fruit trimmings and any tuna can water. once i looked down and she was drooling like a faucet. at first i thought something was wrong, it was just pouring out of her mouth. then i realized i was eating strawberries without giving her the green ends, she was just watching me eating them until i realized it and gave her the greens.
My male Bullmastiff is 8, very calm, reserved intelligence. He walks very nicely on a leash walks/trots right beside me, always looking to me if it's ok. He gets lots of yard time to trot around & sun himself. Extremely healthy, I think he'll live 12+ easily! I guess I just got lucky!
Thanks I always had Rotties but looking at Bullmastiff. All of my Rotties have lived to 13. They are inside dogs. And have a yard to play in. Any information you could give me would be great
My Bull Mastiff is 9 1/2 Years old. This gentleman is giving very good advise! I am so blessed that our first Bull Mastiff has out lived our second one! He is a great dog and is so much pleasure and love! The first year is so important to socialize and train. And he is expensive! I wouldn’t trade him for anything. I’m 65 and am thinking about finding a good breeder for my third puppy!
I adopted my girl at 8mo and she'd already had a tumor removed. She passed at 5yo from lymphoma. Took a long time to be able to talk about her passing out loud. I'm a homebody, enjoy short walks down a solitary trail near my home. When we did run into men, they always gave me a wide berth; she was such a comfort. I drive a Mini Cooper and she'd hop in, no problem. You have to learn to laugh about the drool or it'll drive you bananas. BM owners probably have the largest collection of washcloths of anyone you know. We're about to pick up our BM puppy next month and find your videos super helpful. 🙏
I love watching your videos. My husband and I got 8 amazing years with our rescued bull mastiff mix George. Despite having uncontrollable epilepsy (over 10,000 grand mal seizures in his lifetime...yes we kept track of every one)from the day after he turned six months old, we would get another in a heartbeat. He was the absolute sweetest dog I have ever had the privilege of having in my life.
Having owned 2 Bullmastiffs one male and one female and currently having a ten and a half year old English Mastiff I have to say this is one of the best Mastiff videos I have seen ,well done
Good points. You hit on several that influenced my decision not to get a Bullmastiff. At 67, I didn't think I had the physical stamina to handle a dog weighing at least 120 pounds. Plus my husband has some serious health issues and I was concerned I couldn't socialize adequately. The last thing I wanted was to have a dog that I couldn't control and for someone to get hurt and possibly cause our dog to be put down. It wasn't a chance I was willing to take.
Yep. My 102 pound BM mix eventually would have gotten me evicted because he was already dog aggressive when I adopted him. And I couldn't always hold him back well enough if he decided to ignore my training. All it would have taken would have been one neighbor complaining because he could sound pretty scary if he wanted to. Plus, he wasn't happy in a small apartment. And that's only 102 pounds, not 120-150. I really liked that dog. He was a pleasure to train and to walk. (99% of the time) But I did end up having to rehome mine.
Not sure I agree. When my Bullmastiff hit two he became a huge couch potato. He was very aware of his surroundings and never knocked anyone over. He has been around kids and grandparents. It was nothing I worried about and never had to worry about pulling except if there was a large male dog off leash. My guy was 150 lbs. if you adopt an older dog you will be fine. I never had an easier dog to care for. He did not need much exercise. If you adopt a Bullmastiff at 2 plus years you will be fine. My guy passed at 5. We took him everywhere. Never had a problem.
I have always owned larger dogs and really wanted a Bullmastiff. Unfortunately, I had developed some permanent health issues myself so I "settled" for a small dog and chose a female French Bulldog. I gotta say that I absolutely Love my Frenchie, she is definitely a BIG DOG in a little package. I just like every single thing about this breed. She is funny, intelligent, entertaining, loyal, fiercely brave, and a very good watch dog (not guard dog), she will alert me to every potential danger. One bonus or negative depending on your lifestyle is that French Bulldogs need very little exercise or space. They are very happy being couch potatoes and simply hanging out with you. I still really like Bullmastiffs but I would recommend French Bulldogs to any potential dog buyer, especially the big dog lovers that can not get a big dog for one reason or another.

Another thing with cost to consider is the larger the breed the more the cost of meds (heartworm, antibiotics, ect), if xray is needed or surgery it all costs more. Plus for people who enjoy having a companion for rigorous exercise like jogging, this is a brachycephalic breed known for heatstroke and also ligament tears and ruptures from over exerchion. The tears present themselves subtly that most people don't know to pay attention to until its too late and the dog is limping painfully. I walk my 155 lb 15 month old pup carefully daily. I watch the weather forecasts and time accordingly. He walks 2 miles a day just fine but it has to be below 80° or he can't breathe as well.
Yep, mine is 150lbs, with a high prey drive. If you see a squirrel or cat, he will forget everything and lunge. He is a fantastic dog, but monumentally powerful, and he sometimes forgets…
Bang on so far in the video. I would make sure when you buy one that it's from a reputable breeder so you can see their general genetics is good, re hip issues etc. We can't control their genetics, we can control their weight, so keeping that in check will help protect their joints ( no don't starve them, but don't let them get overweight). Vet bills are expensive even if it's just a generic visit, get insurance or start saving early. My first 2 barely made 7 years old. Very hard to take, it rips your heart apart bc of how great a dog they are.
With the drool, my 7 month old drools like crazy. my partner hates it 😂, she's use to her whippet never drooling. I think it gives the Bullmastiff more character.
Yeah it seems like the drool can be more less depending on the individual bullmastiff. Tua really doesn't do a whole heck of a lot of drooling outside of eating/drinking or exercising
@@bullmastiffnd9784 I will say, both parents are heavy droolers. Sort of went with that specific line because of the size and drooling 😁. here in Australia it's not uncommon to pay $4500 for a pup from a good breeder. Worth every cent, best breed. Been around them for the last 10 years but never had the space to get my own until now.
It's hard to keep a dog in the house that drools alot!!! I have 2, a male & female that someone was rehoming when they were 3 years old, neither one drools at all! If I get one as a puppy, I'll make sure neither parent drools!
great video, but nonetheless they are the best dogs ever. mine lived to 12 and was the best companion when she was around. your videos bring back a lot of happy memories for me. she was all love, she loved everything -- other dogs, kids, cats, people, everything
I’m now 74. Thor just turned 1 year last month. We’ve had a rocky beginning together. Thor had a spinal cord stroke at 5 months. He lost full use of his right hind leg. He’s adapted pretty well. Hasn’t slowed him down two much. I have an old farmhouse. So his climbing stairs to sleep in the bedroom, isn’t happening. I’m looking for a mini van. The first of March Thor was already outside. I came out to feed the birds. He got very excited, because I came outside. He started spinning around and his rear struck the side of my left knee. His bad leg probably gave out. I heard my knee break. X-rays say I’m now healed. Thor weighs in around 175. Very wide chest, very large neck and muscular. He relies on his front because of the damage from the stroke to his hind leg. I’ve had other breeds in my lifetime. He’s the most affectionate dog I’ve shared my home with. Thor only barks if he feels a need too. Everyone that meets Thor really likes him. His photo is in a lot of phones. I enjoy your updates. Thank you.
My boy Kobe is very emotionally intelligent. He's a Mastador, and almost 12! Vet says he's just alive on love! We have had cancer 3 times. The drool is manageable. We keep rugs and towels down around food and water bowls.
I had dogs in the right circumstances sight hounds, collies, bull terriers, and waited 20 years to get a country place with a large garden before applying for a RESCUE dog. Luckily got a pup, he had issues from scavenging campylobacter, and being beaten at 8-14 weeks, frightened of bowls and crockery. Boerboel Ridgeback cross most likely? about 80lbs gentle and intelligent and soft. Great guard dog, bit barky at times always on alert, but can be helpful, nonmodded phone calls or deliveries, churned up grass, dug a cave, likes sticks! So intelligent almost house trained himself at 16 weeks, and learns tasks, one go! Brilliant. NOT A DOG for an APARTMENT though. Surprised to see people would even think it! Everyone loves his wrinkly pup face! I am very grateful to have him.
As far as the elderly/weaker person's bull mastiff are actually highly recommended for service work. But that comes with re-enforced training. And specialized training. But they can be trained Simi easily (they can just be bull headed) not to pull for disabled persons it's one of three breeds I'm considering for my next service dog because they do great for mobility work. Just thought you'd be interested. Thanks for the video very informative
Very true, all of it applies to my 10 month old boy. He's very small for his age, only 90 lbs, but he can still drag me on walks if he gets very excited, for example every time he sees his best dog friend there' just no stopping him. We've been taking him on long walks since he was a little puppy yet he still gets very tired after maybe 3 miles. He's also generally very very lazy but every evening he has a big spike in his energy level and has to run around and go crazy for a while.
Your dog is very beautiful! We had a bullmastiff that passed away last year. The worst thing for us was the short life span. Our died at 7,5 years old of cancer. Very lovely bread
You mentioned the right reasons that might matter to someone. We have a bullmastiff girl. She is lighter than a boy, very obedient, sweet and loyal. I wouldn't underestimate the male size though . We also adopted a very hyperactive not trained young bloodhound and I have no chance with my 110 pounds.
The one thing that really hits me is the low age expectancy. I am considering possibly going for a Bullmastiff mix with a tibetan to lengthen their age
Agree with everything you said especially life span my baby tyson died on the 7th of November past he just turned 4 ,he died with stomach cancer he was the 1st dog I got and he's my last the loss of him is unbearable its like losing 1 of your children 💔they are the most loving dogs on the planet
What a beautiful dog. I currently have 2 pugs and 1 Frenchie but someday I would definetely want to get a Bullmastiff. Been doing research on the Mastiff breeds. Awesome that I came across your videos. Great informations on these amazing dogs ☺

Great advice ❤ Cuddles from me a beautiful breed. We have 2 Goldies & a Chocolate Labrador. Our Choc Lab Norman was on an extention lead the lead got to the end of the 10ft and i was flipped in the air breaking my shoulder & arm and Norman is 43kgs so not as big as a Bull Mastiff so being able to handle, being strong enough to handle your dog you spoke of is important.
I had 3 bull mastiffs and one great Dane my last bullmastiff lived for 12 years I had to unfortunately put him to sleep he couldn't get up or down very easily he was in pain my vet said it wasn't a good quality of life we had my dad live with us after my mom died the dog seemed to know he was by his side all the time would walk with him my dad would hold him by collar they were best if friends the day we put him to sleep my dad cried the dog as hard it was fr him to walk went over put his head on his lap saddest good bye I ever seen
All soo true!! Great video on what to expect. As a fellow Bullmastiff owner i can definitely agree with everything you mentioned (except the life expectancy, mine is 2.5 years old now).
Great overview of owning a Bullmastiff, I’ll take the risks for the 10 years of love and companionship with my partner in crime . To bad a wife lives 70 years longer , they never stop eating, having health problems ,end up weighing more than the dog , always barking at you and cost a fortune to maintain….lol…. All kidding aside great things to consider for someone considering the bullmastiff. 👍
😂😂 love it! And thank you! I agree. Short life span is technically a risk with any dog. My previous dog was a Doberman and passed unexpectedly at 7.5 years old
I hit the jackpot, My girl doesn't drool. But she sheds like a maniac...even she isn't perfect! But toe nail clippers, and sweaters are very difficult to find.
As a Mastiff owner (English and Neapolitan), many of us will carry towels around to deal with the drool. These dogs have much less drool to deal with, but some people fuss over any amount - in this case - they should choose a tight lipped breed, not in the mastiff/bulldog line.
I really like ur videos...u give genuine information and the experiences u share r so real whether they be bad or good ones....both about ur previous Doberman or the current Mastiff...even m planning to get one next month...I had a Labrador earlier who was too much energetic throughout...also had experience with a GSD.... but yeahhh....my life style has changed post covid and I realized that my lifestyle now does not have that much of physical activity and time.... so planning to get a Bullmastiff as they seem to be bit less energetic or demanding in the case of physical exercises.... Seeing ur vlogs have helped me coming to conclusion that I can go for it....may ur family with this paws baby have all the good luck and fortune....Thanks...
I really appreciate the comment! Yes Bullmastiffs are much less energetic than a Lab or Shepherd however keep in mind in won't start like this. When young they can be very energetic. Probably like the first year to year and a half. But then they will fall into that typical bullmastiff behavior of being on the lazier side MOST of the time. Good luck with your pup and again thanks for the comment!
my family and i used to have a bullmastiff before be passed away last march. i can't remember what he had, but he was losing his muscles and pretty much turning to skin and bone. but he had his ups and downs. but we did teach him to sit and stay and to come over when we called. but we also has to create a fence out of strong wires as he loved to run. so we could never leave the front door open or he would be gone. we pretty much had to drive around until he got tired. but most were intimidated by him as he was big. his name was Buddy, but we called him Bud. i know the vets from the vetinary clinic we took him to always loved him. but he did drive us a bit crazy. he would even drink lots of water and shake his drooly face all over my dad. it was pretty funny. but he also had some doen sides like when he barked, he always farted. when Bud farted, everyone ran off as he would deathinate the living room. but he also managed to break the wires in our couch. we had to get him his own chair to sit in so he wouldn't break anymore couches. he got his own lazyboy and he lived it. but he also was a chewer. he would destroy anything he could. mostly his beds. he also went through many cow leg bones. he loved his bones. but we could never leave food on the counter and the table. my brother rescued Bud from his friend who was going through some rough times with transitioning into a woman. i can asume she got Bud to breed to get money for surgery. but all and all, Bud was mostly a good boy. we miss him dearly.
I agree completely about the size. I like big dogs, and I'm good at training them. But if my 102 pound BM mix saw another dog before I told him to sit and just watch, he would go after it and I couldn't always hold him back. I could train a 150 pound dog. But if one that size decided to disobey me, I'd be in trouble. Also right about the car. I drive a Mitsubishi Eclipse. And there is definitely not room in there for a 150 pound dog. I don't think my BM mix would have even fit in there. And the cost, too. As much as I'd like a Tua someday, it's probably not realistic for me.
💯, I have boreboel Mastiff "the drool is horrible. I literally have to stand by her with a cloth every time she drinks and follow her, She was 3,000 from a highly respectable breeder to start with, but the hair is horrible They're bigger size dog so they're double the hair, They're needy and won't leave you be, they will trip you up or knock you over If you're not paying attention, they're expensive to buy for, food , vet, accessories ect. think it through and do research on any breed that you choose to bring into your life because it's forever-
I got 13 years out of mine. But the last year was really tough. Now I foster Mastiffs through the Mastiff rescue and have a 7 year old Neo that was abandoned. The rescue wants me to foster more, but I refused, I only do one at a time until we find really great forever homes. P/S if ANYONE is worried about the drool, do NOT get a Mastiff or Great Dane, that's just part of life with any of them.
I had an English Mastiff and now I have a Boerboel, and she’s often mistaken for a Bullmastiff. Mabel- the English Mastiff- was very tall for a female and weighed 200 lbs. Olive- the Boerboel- is not nearly as tall but she is 150 lbs of solid muscle. The difference in personality is mostly in how they are around people they don’t know. Mabel was pretty neutral, but Olive is standoffish. If she doesn’t know you, she doesn’t want you to touch her.
@@bullmastiffnd9784 She does really well with a good 3 mile walk a few times a week, and we have a good amount of property so she can run and play with her Great Pyrenees brother. Mabel was a true couch potato
My 2yr grandchild could walk my last bullmasitiff under supervision. gentle loving senstive breed depsite there size .best breed ive ever owned .intuitive loyal breed blessed in my life to have owned 3 over the years .every one different characters but every one kind gentle giants .
Most impirtant thing in choosing a dog breed is that you need to choose a breed that fit to you not only because you just like it. Aslso When you love someone or something you have to "neverthless" not "because". Recently in Jorea, there is a Shiba inu found was resuced. The owner kept the Shiba in a small room and never allowed to get out from the room only because the dog sheds too much. The owner should have not to get the Shiba inu from the biggning with if shedding is an issue. In Korea, the dog is nothing but a meat recently. And these days due to the economic decelopment, many Koreans keep dogs to pretend western life style yet their thoughts and ideas about dogs are still behind the times and many dogs are mistreated and abused.
I had a bullmastiff for 10 years and I was 16 to 26 in my life. My first dog and he was too active and destructive in the garden and I picked the wrong breed and needed a calmer breed but I loved him but never this breed again.
My bullmastiff gets more exited when he sees someone different I let him go since most of them are my friends they just say hey your dogs saliva is on my short. They don't mind but when he sees a chicken all of his senses are gone so I'll have to train him on that. He's a good boy who made me trip 3 times when jogging heh. Then one day a neighbors dog got out of his house (since he forgot to close his gate) and attacked my dog good thing bullmastiffs are strong mine is very agile so he can dodge pretty quickly.Then the neighbors dog gave up no injuries or scratches but my bullmastiff seems pretty traumatized by that whenever I go past that area his tail will go down and becomes nervous I pet him so he can feel a bit comfortable.
i teached my ammerican masti bull since a puppy that after he is done drinking or eating he has to wait till we whipe the drool dripping of his face. So now when i hold up the towel he walks up to it and puts hes nose against the towel and let me whipe it and then he goes on. never have issues with drool
Get a "GENTLE LEADER" for ease of walking. Not a pronged collar. I can walk 130 pound dog with pinky with this collar, she's dragged me to the ground with other types. Plus, the harsh collars can cause trakea damage. I can't recommend Gentle Leader enough. My dog weighs same as me, she wants to go, I'm going to be dragged until she stops with other collars.
Yes they do. The breed was originally known as the game keepers watch dog and the silent watch dog. Trained to corner and pin poachers, not attack them
how old do they start to drool? I have a 4 month old dogo argentino/ french mastiff mix that looks just like a bullmastif but no drool at all... super loving too
Bullmastiff are loving dogs to there families. The only thing is there medical care in N.Y. is very expensive. They are not super active dogs, but they want to make there fathers/mothers happy. Great family dogs. Another thing they are not very tolerance of little yappy dogs, but then again who is. Lol
Don’t give your dog any shots and you won’t have to worry about cancer Don’t neuter your males till at least fully grown if at all Ftr I’ve had 4 cats all strays from around age one or kittens And 7 dogs all reduced except for my two bullmastiff/English mastiff mixes All my cats are at least 15 years old with no trips to the vet. We just put one cat down this weekend who was 16 at least. I still have 5 out of the 8 dogs. The three that died, did so of natural age related issues including my last husky who lived to 17. My mastiffs are now 2. Brothers from the same litter. These two are the only dogs I have purchased from a breeder. I wanted them as a guard/family dog for my property. They are perfect for that roll with instinctive tendencies to patrol and gaurd. But they are calm and can determine what is a threat and what isn’t with minimal barking. Also the most affectionate dogs I’ve ever had for me my wife and children. Once they are introduced to you they are all good. Best breed ever. Again. No shots. No vets. Mostly raw food diet. Exercise. Love.
I was looking at a old English bulldog but wanted a larger dog. The only thing I’m a little scared about is life span. The other thing I wonder about is how much do they like to play? I know have mega energy when they are age 1-2 years old but even older than that when you come home from work do they enjoy horsing around?
As Tua has aged he's definitely consistently been slowing down. But he's not at the point of never wanting to do anything. He still can turn it up when he wants to or I get him going
I don’t agree I’ve had one bull massive besides des but he drooling there amazing but ya that drool ands uh .. that why wen she use to come watch us at table wen we eat it was yucky so I though her .. no begging and she’d walk away yes kept paper toile .. wipe its mouth a few times a day or more drool on furniture .. blanket true al try but there among gentle family dogs mine never barked.. unless she needed to .. there hood go first on these dogs I had mine 16 year and at the end she could not get up one step or bogey up at all hip issue was so sad the day we put her down . Best dog vet so loving ..
I want a big dog soooo bad. I grew up with Rottweilers and still miss them every freaking day. I've been researching big guard dogs and I saw these big beauties and instantly fell in love. But now idk if I should get one if they can get up to 150 lbs. I'm only 5'9" and rarely get above 130 lbs myself 😅 I'd either need to train the hell outta him or just get a different mastiff breed...if there's any smaller/thinner people that have a bullmastiff, how's it been handling/training and would you recommend it to someone who'd be legitimately smaller than their doggo? Thanks in advance!
I was just wondering about hiking. Now I’m No marathon runner lol but one day a week I do on average a 5-7mile hike. Probably takes about 3-3 1/2 hrs. We’re not fast at all and walk about 1 mile per 30min. It would be nice if Archie could join us once he’s grown a little more but not a big deal if he just stays home for those 3 1/2 hrs. Obviously it wasn’t a dealbreaker bcuz we got him. But do u think a BM could handle a 5-7mile hike 1day a week? The breeder said absolutely but I don’t know if that was just being said to keep the sale appealing to me. 😆
Up to this point with Tua, almost 2 years old. I would say he would have no issue doing something like that. Unless is was very hot out. Heat kind of changes the game with this breed
I love the bullmasttif but I'm getting a South African mastiff in the near future 2 reason's health and energy levels I love hiking and I live in England and the bullmasttif health problem's are well documented here the South African mastiff loves the heat can walk for miles and has on average a 4 year longer lifespan the advantage of the bullmasttif is they are a much calmer breed and less dog aggressive so still a great dog
@@bullmastiffnd9784 I used too own irish wolfhounds one was 90kg and my last one was 100kg big for a wolfhound but not fat just tall and wide I think the English and bull mastiff are definitely a more calm and steady dog if my children were still young they would be a better choice your dog is a perfect example of a bullmasttif strong handsome and steady well done
Nothing wrong with them that you wont find with other breeds. Cost = rather spend it on a mastiff than twice the amount on some "exoctic" poodle. I have a Boerboel @ 58 kg - plenty of Bullmastiff in him. Best friend and protector. Gets into the car by himself. But you need that weight and strengh for especially large perb's. I do agree you need some muscles because they are heavy and strong.
It's funny that you start with drool, because I often say these would be the perfect dog breed if not for the drool. This breed is all about training and discipline, for both animal and owner.
Breeding the bullmastff with a red nose pitbull was the most precious puppies I had ever seen the animal control took my puppies becuse a next door neighbors blue pit came where the puppies was and the dad killed him then the SPCA sold them I was hot.

I fed Teena raw. raw ground chicken from the butcher, carrots, apples, an egg and supplements. i was so lucky to find a gourmet butcher who ground the chickens which were not perfect enough for his shop. he ground them whole, bones and all. her poops consisted mainly of the bone meal - small, hard white turds that didn't smell. everything else she digested and used. she always got the fruit trimmings and any tuna can water. once i looked down and she was drooling like a faucet. at first i thought something was wrong, it was just pouring out of her mouth. then i realized i was eating strawberries without giving her the green ends, she was just watching me eating them until i realized it and gave her the greens.
I love this breed. I had a Bullmastiff, and then I had a French Mastiff. I loved them both. I hope there's an afterlife and I see them both again.
Wow!This is so nice❤
no kidding...
Truth x
Yeah, it wouldn't be heaven without them!!
My american bulldog was put to sleep last week I can 100% say if there's no dogs in heaven then I don't want to go
My male Bullmastiff is 8, very calm, reserved intelligence. He walks very nicely on a leash walks/trots right beside me, always looking to me if it's ok. He gets lots of yard time to trot around & sun himself. Extremely healthy, I think he'll live 12+ easily! I guess I just got lucky!
Thanks I always had Rotties but looking at Bullmastiff. All of my Rotties have lived to 13. They are inside dogs. And have a yard to play in. Any information you could give me would be great
My Bull Mastiff is 9 1/2
Years old. This gentleman is giving very good advise! I am so blessed that our first Bull Mastiff has out lived our second one! He is a great dog and is so much pleasure and love! The first year is so important to socialize and train. And he is expensive! I wouldn’t trade him for anything. I’m 65 and am thinking about finding a good breeder for my third puppy!
Thank you! That is great that you have gotten so many years out of yours. I hope Tua can live a long life as well!
I adopted my girl at 8mo and she'd already had a tumor removed. She passed at 5yo from lymphoma. Took a long time to be able to talk about her passing out loud. I'm a homebody, enjoy short walks down a solitary trail near my home. When we did run into men, they always gave me a wide berth; she was such a comfort. I drive a Mini Cooper and she'd hop in, no problem. You have to learn to laugh about the drool or it'll drive you bananas. BM owners probably have the largest collection of washcloths of anyone you know. We're about to pick up our BM puppy next month and find your videos super helpful. 🙏
That's one of the bad things about this breed is health issues 😔
Good luck with your new pup!
Yeah they say adopt don't shop but literally when you adopt you don't know what breeder and health of the parents were..
I love watching your videos. My husband and I got 8 amazing years with our rescued bull mastiff mix George. Despite having uncontrollable epilepsy (over 10,000 grand mal seizures in his lifetime...yes we kept track of every one)from the day after he turned six months old, we would get another in a heartbeat. He was the absolute sweetest dog I have ever had the privilege of having in my life.
Having owned 2 Bullmastiffs one male and one female and currently having a ten and a half year old English Mastiff I have to say this is one of the best Mastiff videos I have seen ,well done
Thanks! I want an English one day! How big is yours?
I have not weighed her for a few years but she would be around 80 kg but she thinks she is still a lap dog
Good points. You hit on several that influenced my decision not to get a Bullmastiff. At 67, I didn't think I had the physical stamina to handle a dog weighing at least 120 pounds. Plus my husband has some serious health issues and I was concerned I couldn't socialize adequately. The last thing I wanted was to have a dog that I couldn't control and for someone to get hurt and possibly cause our dog to be put down. It wasn't a chance I was willing to take.
Exactly. There's a lot to consider and everyone's situation is different
Yep. My 102 pound BM mix eventually would have gotten me evicted because he was already dog aggressive when I adopted him. And I couldn't always hold him back well enough if he decided to ignore my training.
All it would have taken would have been one neighbor complaining because he could sound pretty scary if he wanted to.
Plus, he wasn't happy in a small apartment.
And that's only 102 pounds, not 120-150.
I really liked that dog. He was a pleasure to train and to walk. (99% of the time) But I did end up having to rehome mine.
Not sure I agree. When my Bullmastiff hit two he became a huge couch potato. He was very aware of his surroundings and never knocked anyone over. He has been around kids and grandparents. It was nothing I worried about and never had to worry about pulling except if there was a large male dog off leash. My guy was 150 lbs. if you adopt an older dog you will be fine. I never had an easier dog to care for. He did not need much
exercise. If you adopt a Bullmastiff at 2 plus years you will be fine.
My guy passed at 5. We took him everywhere. Never had a problem.
I have always owned larger dogs and really wanted a Bullmastiff. Unfortunately, I had developed some permanent health issues myself so I "settled" for a small dog and chose a female French Bulldog.
I gotta say that I absolutely Love my Frenchie, she is definitely a BIG DOG in a little package. I just like every single thing about this breed. She is funny, intelligent, entertaining, loyal, fiercely brave, and a very good watch dog (not guard dog), she will alert me to every potential danger.
One bonus or negative depending on your lifestyle is that French Bulldogs need very little exercise or space. They are very happy being couch potatoes and simply hanging out with you.
I still really like Bullmastiffs but I would recommend French Bulldogs to any potential dog buyer, especially the big dog lovers that can not get a big dog for one reason or another.
Mastiffs are the calmest dogs I've ever had. Much better than German shepards or pitbulls. They sleep and like calm walks and sleep n fart more.
Rambunctious is the best way to describe my new puppy 😂🥹

Frenchie's are so cool!
Another thing with cost to consider is the larger the breed the more the cost of meds (heartworm, antibiotics, ect), if xray is needed or surgery it all costs more. Plus for people who enjoy having a companion for rigorous exercise like jogging, this is a brachycephalic breed known for heatstroke and also ligament tears and ruptures from over exerchion. The tears present themselves subtly that most people don't know to pay attention to until its too late and the dog is limping painfully. I walk my 155 lb 15 month old pup carefully daily. I watch the weather forecasts and time accordingly. He walks 2 miles a day just fine but it has to be below 80° or he can't breathe as well.
Absolutely! All good points
Yep, mine is 150lbs, with a high prey drive. If you see a squirrel or cat, he will forget everything and lunge. He is a fantastic dog, but monumentally powerful, and he sometimes forgets…
I'm on my 4th Bull Mastiff......and none of them have been drullers..........LOVE love love them
Bang on so far in the video. I would make sure when you buy one that it's from a reputable breeder so you can see their general genetics is good, re hip issues etc. We can't control their genetics, we can control their weight, so keeping that in check will help protect their joints ( no don't starve them, but don't let them get overweight). Vet bills are expensive even if it's just a generic visit, get insurance or start saving early.
My first 2 barely made 7 years old. Very hard to take, it rips your heart apart bc of how great a dog they are.
With the drool, my 7 month old drools like crazy. my partner hates it 😂, she's use to her whippet never drooling. I think it gives the Bullmastiff more character.
Yeah it seems like the drool can be more less depending on the individual bullmastiff. Tua really doesn't do a whole heck of a lot of drooling outside of eating/drinking or exercising
@@bullmastiffnd9784 I will say, both parents are heavy droolers. Sort of went with that specific line because of the size and drooling 😁. here in Australia it's not uncommon to pay $4500 for a pup from a good breeder. Worth every cent, best breed. Been around them for the last 10 years but never had the space to get my own until now.
It's hard to keep a dog in the house that drools alot!!! I have 2, a male & female that someone was rehoming when they were 3 years old, neither one drools at all! If I get one as a puppy, I'll make sure neither parent drools!
great video, but nonetheless they are the best dogs ever. mine lived to 12 and was the best companion when she was around. your videos bring back a lot of happy memories for me. she was all love, she loved everything -- other dogs, kids, cats, people, everything
I’m now 74. Thor just turned 1 year last month. We’ve had a rocky beginning together. Thor had a spinal cord stroke at 5 months. He lost full use of his right hind leg. He’s adapted pretty well. Hasn’t slowed him down two much. I have an old farmhouse. So his climbing stairs to sleep in the bedroom, isn’t happening. I’m looking for a mini van. The first of March Thor was already outside. I came out to feed the birds. He got very excited, because I came outside. He started spinning around and his rear struck the side of my left knee. His bad leg probably gave out. I heard my knee break. X-rays say I’m now healed. Thor weighs in around 175. Very wide chest, very large neck and muscular. He relies on his front because of the damage from the stroke to his hind leg. I’ve had other breeds in my lifetime. He’s the most affectionate dog I’ve shared my home with. Thor only barks if he feels a need too. Everyone that meets Thor really likes him. His photo is in a lot of phones. I enjoy your updates. Thank you.
My boy Kobe is very emotionally intelligent. He's a Mastador, and almost 12! Vet says he's just alive on love! We have had cancer 3 times. The drool is manageable. We keep rugs and towels down around food and water bowls.
This is the 1st video I've seen of urs, and u being from USA, good on u for NOT cutting the tails and ears off, they don't look good without them
I had dogs in the right circumstances sight hounds, collies, bull terriers, and waited 20 years to get a country place with a large garden before applying for a RESCUE dog. Luckily got a pup, he had issues from scavenging campylobacter, and being beaten at 8-14 weeks, frightened of bowls and crockery. Boerboel Ridgeback cross most likely? about 80lbs gentle and intelligent and soft. Great guard dog, bit barky at times always on alert, but can be helpful, nonmodded phone calls or deliveries, churned up grass, dug a cave, likes sticks! So intelligent almost house trained himself at 16 weeks, and learns tasks, one go! Brilliant. NOT A DOG for an APARTMENT though. Surprised to see people would even think it! Everyone loves his wrinkly pup face! I am very grateful to have him.
No missed phone calls ....
As far as the elderly/weaker person's bull mastiff are actually highly recommended for service work. But that comes with re-enforced training. And specialized training. But they can be trained Simi easily (they can just be bull headed) not to pull for disabled persons it's one of three breeds I'm considering for my next service dog because they do great for mobility work. Just thought you'd be interested. Thanks for the video very informative
So can they be used as a service dog, for chronic ptsd?
very realistic description and a bull mastiff owners review, thanks
Very true, all of it applies to my 10 month old boy. He's very small for his age, only 90 lbs, but he can still drag me on walks if he gets very excited, for example every time he sees his best dog friend there' just no stopping him. We've been taking him on long walks since he was a little puppy yet he still gets very tired after maybe 3 miles. He's also generally very very lazy but every evening he has a big spike in his energy level and has to run around and go crazy for a while.
Your dog is very beautiful! We had a bullmastiff that passed away last year. The worst thing for us was the short life span. Our died at 7,5 years old of cancer. Very lovely bread
You mentioned the right reasons that might matter to someone. We have a bullmastiff girl. She is lighter than a boy, very obedient, sweet and loyal. I wouldn't underestimate the male size though . We also adopted a very hyperactive not trained young bloodhound and I have no chance with my 110 pounds.
The one thing that really hits me is the low age expectancy. I am considering possibly going for a Bullmastiff mix with a tibetan to lengthen their age
Agree with everything you said especially life span my baby tyson died on the 7th of November past he just turned 4 ,he died with stomach cancer he was the 1st dog I got and he's my last the loss of him is unbearable its like losing 1 of your children 💔they are the most loving dogs on the planet
Oh gee that is rough. I’m sorry to hear that. Mine died so long ago but I still tear up when I think about that night. He almost got to 10.
@@roughhabit6496 thank you best dogs on the planet ❤️
What a beautiful dog. I currently have 2 pugs and 1 Frenchie but someday I would definetely want to get a Bullmastiff. Been doing research on the Mastiff breeds. Awesome that I came across your videos. Great informations on these amazing dogs ☺
Thank you!

I've had 2 bullmastiffs and think you are right. None of the drawbacks bothered us i had read them.
Great advice ❤ Cuddles from me a beautiful breed. We have 2 Goldies & a Chocolate Labrador. Our Choc Lab Norman was on an extention lead the lead got to the end of the 10ft and i was flipped in the air breaking my shoulder & arm and Norman is 43kgs so not as big as a Bull Mastiff so being able to handle, being strong enough to handle your dog you spoke of is important.
very useful video. I considered buying one, but after watching I think I'd have to reconsider it (especially because of the hiking part). thank you!
Thanks for the comment!
Thank you, can’t wait to get one!!!
Bullmastiff’s have filled my heart on this earth I’ve had 4 ❤️💙
Bullmastiff's are my favorite breed! We love ours and she's very gentle and patient with our crazy French bulldog haha!
Some of them have bulldog dispositions....its like having a pet brick wall lol
Thank you, Angus is four.and he is also my fourth, my oldest lived to be 11. your videos are filled with the facts!
I have had mastiffs all my life and they my fave breed, but your points are very valid
Very great breed for the right situation
I had 3 bull mastiffs and one great Dane my last bullmastiff lived for 12 years I had to unfortunately put him to sleep he couldn't get up or down very easily he was in pain my vet said it wasn't a good quality of life we had my dad live with us after my mom died the dog seemed to know he was by his side all the time would walk with him my dad would hold him by collar they were best if friends the day we put him to sleep my dad cried the dog as hard it was fr him to walk went over put his head on his lap saddest good bye I ever seen
All soo true!! Great video on what to expect. As a fellow Bullmastiff owner i can definitely agree with everything you mentioned (except the life expectancy, mine is 2.5 years old now).
Motor City Nerds has a beautiful bull mastiff I love when she posts him they seem like a handful!
Great overview of owning a Bullmastiff, I’ll take the risks for the 10 years of love and companionship with my partner in crime .
To bad a wife lives 70 years longer , they never stop eating, having health problems ,end up weighing more than the dog , always barking at you and cost a fortune to maintain….lol….
All kidding aside great things to consider for someone considering the bullmastiff.
👍
😂😂 love it! And thank you!
I agree. Short life span is technically a risk with any dog. My previous dog was a Doberman and passed unexpectedly at 7.5 years old
I hit the jackpot, My girl doesn't drool. But she sheds like a maniac...even she isn't perfect! But toe nail clippers, and sweaters are very difficult to find.
As a Mastiff owner (English and Neapolitan), many of us will carry towels around to deal with the drool. These dogs have much less drool to deal with, but some people fuss over any amount - in this case - they should choose a tight lipped breed, not in the mastiff/bulldog line.
I really like ur videos...u give genuine information and the experiences u share r so real whether they be bad or good ones....both about ur previous Doberman or the current Mastiff...even m planning to get one next month...I had a Labrador earlier who was too much energetic throughout...also had experience with a GSD.... but yeahhh....my life style has changed post covid and I realized that my lifestyle now does not have that much of physical activity and time.... so planning to get a Bullmastiff as they seem to be bit less energetic or demanding in the case of physical exercises....
Seeing ur vlogs have helped me coming to conclusion that I can go for it....may ur family with this paws baby have all the good luck and fortune....Thanks...
I really appreciate the comment! Yes Bullmastiffs are much less energetic than a Lab or Shepherd however keep in mind in won't start like this. When young they can be very energetic. Probably like the first year to year and a half. But then they will fall into that typical bullmastiff behavior of being on the lazier side MOST of the time. Good luck with your pup and again thanks for the comment!
my family and i used to have a bullmastiff before be passed away last march. i can't remember what he had, but he was losing his muscles and pretty much turning to skin and bone. but he had his ups and downs. but we did teach him to sit and stay and to come over when we called. but we also has to create a fence out of strong wires as he loved to run. so we could never leave the front door open or he would be gone. we pretty much had to drive around until he got tired. but most were intimidated by him as he was big. his name was Buddy, but we called him Bud. i know the vets from the vetinary clinic we took him to always loved him. but he did drive us a bit crazy. he would even drink lots of water and shake his drooly face all over my dad. it was pretty funny. but he also had some doen sides like when he barked, he always farted. when Bud farted, everyone ran off as he would deathinate the living room. but he also managed to break the wires in our couch. we had to get him his own chair to sit in so he wouldn't break anymore couches. he got his own lazyboy and he lived it. but he also was a chewer. he would destroy anything he could. mostly his beds. he also went through many cow leg bones. he loved his bones. but we could never leave food on the counter and the table. my brother rescued Bud from his friend who was going through some rough times with transitioning into a woman. i can asume she got Bud to breed to get money for surgery. but all and all, Bud was mostly a good boy. we miss him dearly.
Owned three of them, best dogs in the world!
I have a bullmastiff he is the chillest thing ever
I agree completely about the size. I like big dogs, and I'm good at training them. But if my 102 pound BM mix saw another dog before I told him to sit and just watch, he would go after it and I couldn't always hold him back.
I could train a 150 pound dog. But if one that size decided to disobey me, I'd be in trouble.
Also right about the car. I drive a Mitsubishi Eclipse. And there is definitely not room in there for a 150 pound dog. I don't think my BM mix would have even fit in there.
And the cost, too.
As much as I'd like a Tua someday, it's probably not realistic for me.
I have 4 bullies and they all were great dogs and sweet
These reason should be considered advantages. The only disadvantage IMO is the poop, bigger than human poop and more frequent.
💯, I have boreboel Mastiff "the drool is horrible. I literally have to stand by her with a cloth every time she drinks and follow her, She was 3,000 from a highly respectable breeder to start with, but the hair is horrible They're bigger size dog so they're double the hair, They're needy and won't leave you be, they will trip you up or knock you over If you're not paying attention, they're expensive to buy for, food , vet, accessories ect. think it through and do research on any breed that you choose to bring into your life because it's forever-
I got 13 years out of mine. But the last year was really tough. Now I foster Mastiffs through the Mastiff rescue and have a 7 year old Neo that was abandoned. The rescue wants me to foster more, but I refused, I only do one at a time until we find really great forever homes. P/S if ANYONE is worried about the drool, do NOT get a Mastiff or Great Dane, that's just part of life with any of them.
Or a boxer. They slime the place! LOL!
My Sammy boy is pure bred bull mastiff going on 13 yrs old, outlived his dad too(he lived to be 3-4 yrs old)
Wow that is old for a bullmastiff!
My baby girl lived to 15. Best dog ever
Phenomenal info. Thank you✊🏼👏🏼🙏🏼
Tua is a Handsome Boy for Sure!
I had an English Mastiff and now I have a Boerboel, and she’s often mistaken for a Bullmastiff. Mabel- the English Mastiff- was very tall for a female and weighed 200 lbs. Olive- the Boerboel- is not nearly as tall but she is 150 lbs of solid muscle. The difference in personality is mostly in how they are around people they don’t know. Mabel was pretty neutral, but Olive is standoffish. If she doesn’t know you, she doesn’t want you to touch her.
That's awesome! I would love a boerboel one day. How are her energy levels?
@@bullmastiffnd9784 She does really well with a good 3 mile walk a few times a week, and we have a good amount of property so she can run and play with her Great Pyrenees brother. Mabel was a true couch potato
My 2yr grandchild could walk my last bullmasitiff under supervision. gentle loving senstive breed depsite there size .best breed ive ever owned .intuitive loyal breed blessed in my life to have owned 3 over the years .every one different characters but every one kind gentle giants .
Most impirtant thing in choosing a dog breed is that you need to choose a breed that fit to you not only because you just like it. Aslso When you love someone or something you have to "neverthless" not "because". Recently in Jorea, there is a Shiba inu found was resuced. The owner kept the Shiba in a small room and never allowed to get out from the room only because the dog sheds too much. The owner should have not to get the Shiba inu from the biggning with if shedding is an issue. In Korea, the dog is nothing but a meat recently. And these days due to the economic decelopment, many Koreans keep dogs to pretend western life style yet their thoughts and ideas about dogs are still behind the times and many dogs are mistreated and abused.
I had a bullmastiff for 10 years and I was 16 to 26 in my life. My first dog and he was too active and destructive in the garden and I picked the wrong breed and needed a calmer breed but I loved him but never this breed again.
My bullmastiff gets more exited when he sees someone different I let him go since most of them are my friends they just say hey your dogs saliva is on my short. They don't mind but when he sees a chicken all of his senses are gone so I'll have to train him on that. He's a good boy who made me trip 3 times when jogging heh. Then one day a neighbors dog got out of his house (since he forgot to close his gate) and attacked my dog good thing bullmastiffs are strong mine is very agile so he can dodge pretty quickly.Then the neighbors dog gave up no injuries or scratches but my bullmastiff seems pretty traumatized by that whenever I go past that area his tail will go down and becomes nervous I pet him so he can feel a bit comfortable.
I have deposit down on American bulldog for next summer 2023.they kind of reminds me of a smaller bullmastiff
They are definitely similar in looks!
We were thinking about getting one.that is a female puppy. But will she and our Chawauhwa. Which is a female and a year half. Will they get along?
i teached my ammerican masti bull since a puppy that after he is done drinking or eating he has to wait till we whipe the drool dripping of his face. So now when i hold up the towel he walks up to it and puts hes nose against the towel and let me whipe it and then he goes on. never have issues with drool
Get a "GENTLE LEADER" for ease of walking. Not a pronged collar. I can walk 130 pound dog with pinky with this collar, she's dragged me to the ground with other types. Plus, the harsh collars can cause trakea damage. I can't recommend Gentle Leader enough. My dog weighs same as me, she wants to go, I'm going to be dragged until she stops with other collars.
I’m on my 3rd bully
First 2 made it 9 years, Rex is 3.
Wouldn’t trade him 4 anything
Great video!
Another super-video!
Thank you!
I’m from ND, and looking into Mastiff’s and trying to decide which breed we want. Do you know of any local resources?
Great content! Keep up the good job.
Thanks!
Hey I have a bowmasters in they cost a lot of money but it is a cool dog it’s worth it
I love them nice animals
Consider giving your dog Nettle leaf tea Great on vitamin c and fights cancer helps kidneys
do these dogs have natural guarding instinct and abilities?
because what other else where they built to do?
Yes they do. The breed was originally known as the game keepers watch dog and the silent watch dog. Trained to corner and pin poachers, not attack them
how old do they start to drool? I have a 4 month old dogo argentino/ french mastiff mix that looks just like a bullmastif but no drool at all... super loving too
Man I can't remember the exact time. I would need to look back in my update videos. But I do remember talking about it when it first started to happen
Bullmastiff are loving dogs to there families. The only thing is there medical care in N.Y. is very expensive. They are not super active dogs, but they want to make there fathers/mothers happy. Great family dogs. Another thing they are not very tolerance of little yappy dogs, but then again who is. Lol
Don’t give your dog any shots and you won’t have to worry about cancer
Don’t neuter your males till at least fully grown if at all
Ftr
I’ve had 4 cats all strays from around age one or kittens
And 7 dogs all reduced except for my two bullmastiff/English mastiff mixes
All my cats are at least 15 years old with no trips to the vet. We just put one cat down this weekend who was 16 at least.
I still have 5 out of the 8 dogs. The three that died, did so of natural age related issues including my last husky who lived to 17.
My mastiffs are now 2. Brothers from the same litter. These two are the only dogs I have purchased from a breeder. I wanted them as a guard/family dog for my property. They are perfect for that roll with instinctive tendencies to patrol and gaurd. But they are calm and can determine what is a threat and what isn’t with minimal barking. Also the most affectionate dogs I’ve ever had for me my wife and children. Once they are introduced to you they are all good. Best breed ever.
Again. No shots. No vets. Mostly raw food diet. Exercise. Love.
I was looking at a old English bulldog but wanted a larger dog. The only thing I’m a little scared about is life span.
The other thing I wonder about is how much do they like to play? I know have mega energy when they are age 1-2 years old but even older than that when you come home from work do they enjoy horsing around?
As Tua has aged he's definitely consistently been slowing down. But he's not at the point of never wanting to do anything. He still can turn it up when he wants to or I get him going
My bull mastiff is the sweetest thing in the world
Ive had 3 Bullmastiffs and they have only ever drooled when they have food in front of them. When they drink they drip.
I don’t agree I’ve had one bull massive besides des but he drooling there amazing but ya that drool ands uh .. that why wen she use to come watch us at table wen we eat it was yucky so I though her .. no begging and she’d walk away yes kept paper toile .. wipe its mouth a few times a day or more drool on furniture .. blanket true al try but there among gentle family dogs mine never barked.. unless she needed to .. there hood go first on these dogs I had mine 16 year and at the end she could not get up one step or bogey up at all hip issue was so sad the day we put her down . Best dog vet so loving ..
I want a big dog soooo bad. I grew up with Rottweilers and still miss them every freaking day. I've been researching big guard dogs and I saw these big beauties and instantly fell in love.
But now idk if I should get one if they can get up to 150 lbs. I'm only 5'9" and rarely get above 130 lbs myself 😅 I'd either need to train the hell outta him or just get a different mastiff breed...if there's any smaller/thinner people that have a bullmastiff, how's it been handling/training and would you recommend it to someone who'd be legitimately smaller than their doggo?
Thanks in advance!
Definitely a legitimate concern. I'm 205 and pretty strong and when Tua wants to pull me around I better have my feet under me and planted
I was just wondering about hiking. Now I’m No marathon runner lol but one day a week I do on average a 5-7mile hike. Probably takes about 3-3 1/2 hrs. We’re not fast at all and walk about 1 mile per 30min. It would be nice if Archie could join us once he’s grown a little more but not a big deal if he just stays home for those 3 1/2 hrs. Obviously it wasn’t a dealbreaker bcuz we got him. But do u think a BM could handle a 5-7mile hike 1day a week? The breeder said absolutely but I don’t know if that was just being said to keep the sale appealing to me. 😆
Up to this point with Tua, almost 2 years old. I would say he would have no issue doing something like that. Unless is was very hot out. Heat kind of changes the game with this breed
I love the bullmasttif but I'm getting a South African mastiff in the near future 2 reason's health and energy levels I love hiking and I live in England and the bullmasttif health problem's are well documented here the South African mastiff loves the heat can walk for miles and has on average a 4 year longer lifespan the advantage of the bullmasttif is they are a much calmer breed and less dog aggressive so still a great dog
Boerboels are so cool! I have seen two. Massive dogs!
@@bullmastiffnd9784 I used too own irish wolfhounds one was 90kg and my last one was 100kg big for a wolfhound but not fat just tall and wide I think the English and bull mastiff are definitely a more calm and steady dog if my children were still young they would be a better choice your dog is a perfect example of a bullmasttif strong handsome and steady well done
Nothing wrong with them that you wont find with other breeds. Cost = rather spend it on a mastiff than twice the amount on some "exoctic" poodle. I have a Boerboel @ 58 kg - plenty of Bullmastiff in him. Best friend and protector. Gets into the car by himself. But you need that weight and strengh for especially large perb's. I do agree you need some muscles because they are heavy and strong.
Any dog regardless of breed, is loyal to the hands that feed and look after them. Maybe your dog isn't suited for you.
Where did you buy this mastiff from i want to buy one
We got him from majestic bullmastiffs out of the Omaha NE area
LOVE! xxx Boxermom
How about nipping? is it that bad? a friend of mine said it's that bad. Worst maybe.
When they are puppies and in the middle of teething it's bad. But that's most puppies
@@bullmastiffnd9784 I see. Thanks. I will buy one next week, a brindle.
They live 7yrs anything past 8 yrs is lucky
It's funny that you start with drool, because I often say these would be the perfect dog breed if not for the drool. This breed is all about training and discipline, for both animal and owner.
I love my bullmastiff
Me too!😂
Ive had danes before
So size isnt an issue
Breeding the bullmastff with a red nose pitbull was the most precious puppies I had ever seen the animal control took my puppies becuse a next door neighbors blue pit came where the puppies was and the dad killed him then the SPCA sold them I was hot.
You can find them cheaper than 2500 mine was free from Walmart there is always people giving puppies away there
Easy to deal with any of them than dealing with a fkn neighbors animals are the best
Only ONE reason to NOT get a bull mastiff:
You will break your heart when he/she dies, miss him/her every day and end up watching videos like this.
It's always tough losing a dog
>130 can lead to knee trouble
TPLO costs $4K per knee
Pet insurance can be your friend with this breed
Wait🤔 why can't we have bullmastiff's if you have one?
😂did u watch the video? Just giving things to consider when deciding on getting one. Never said you shouldn't
I don't think mass is an issue
A dane is massive a Mastiff is average
I had both
Great video and all true but I love Tilly my girl and she is so affectionate ❤️
