Bullmastiff
We placed this cache for my Cousin Isabella and her brindle
Bullmastiff Kelthar!
The Bullmastiff is a strong and powerfully built animal that
possesses great intelligence and a willingness to please, making
them ideal family companions and protectors. Although large, the
breed remains both agile and active and is successful in
conformation, obedience, agility, tracking, carting and therapy
work. The Bullmastiff’s coat may be red, fawn or brindle. The
breed was developed in England by gamekeepers for protection
against poachers.
A Look Back
The Bullmastiff’s known history in England begins around
1860, when they were developed to keep large estates and game
preserves free of poachers. Gamekeepers needed a dog that could
track quietly, cover short distances quickly and pin and hold
poachers without mauling them. The foundation breeding was 60%
Mastiff and 40% Bulldog; breeders were hoping to create a dog
faster and more aggressive than the Mastiff, yet bigger than and
not as ferocious as the Bulldog.
Right Breed for You?
The Bullmastiff is fearless and confident, yet remains docile and
sweet-natured with his family. They are natural guardians of the
home, but do not bark much, as silence was a virtue when guarding
estates. Bullmastiffs are independent thinkers and may not respond
to traditional obedience training. The breed does not require much
exercise or grooming, and can live happily in a house or apartment.
Size--Dogs, 25 to 27 inches at the withers, and 110 to 130 pounds
weight. Bitches, 24 to 26 inches at the withers, and 100 to 120
pounds weight. Other things being equal, the more substantial dog
within these limits is favored. Proportion--The length from tip of
breastbone to rear of thigh exceeds the height from withers to
ground only slightly, resulting in a nearly square
appearance.
