About the Bullmastiff
The Bullmastiff / Mastiff is a giant dog breed originating in England. Adult dogs typically weigh 100 to 180 pounds and live 7 to 10 years. The breed is described as calm, devoted, protective, patient-with-kids.
Households with space, a moderate budget for vet care, and adopters prepared for a 7–10 year lifespan. Small apartments, families with very small kids (the dog's sheer weight is a risk), or owners not prepared for the breed's shorter lifespan.
Adult Bullmastiff / Mastiffs need about 45 minutes of daily exercise; adolescent dogs typically need 60 minutes. The coat is short-coated with moderate shedding, and brushing every 4 weeks keeps the coat manageable.
