Is a Bullmastiff the Right Dog Breed for You?
Bullmastiffs were originally used as guard dogs and thus they have retained their protectiveness. They are intelligent, self assured and courageous, but also very aloof with strangers and can be prone to aggression without early socialization. They are sensitive to temperature extremes, but are suited to urban or rural lifestyles due to low to moderate exercise needs. They require minimal grooming and shed moderately. They are droolers.
