At one autumn 🍂 fair there was guy giving kids a wagon rides using two bull mastiff. He’d then use the money made to buy him and the dogs some steaks 🥩.
I had a Boxer, who was fantastic. My Bullmastiff is too - a larger, calmer version! More guard oriented, much stronger, patient, erm stubborn etc Just a great dog. Make sure you have a drool towel to hand. He does have a mind of his own - if you want GSD instant obedience, then no. Interestingly he is very aware of surroundings and people - he will be much more watchful when walking at night, and is not keen on people walking behind when dark - he likes to keep an eye on them. Just in case!
I had a beautiful Bullmastiff till he died at 11.5 yrs. Loved him, getting another one soon but I question the guard ability. Ours would have let Charles Manson in the front door and asked him if he wanted a beer.
Did you ever challenge your Bull Mastiff? I had a Rottie and used to hear people say how possessive Rotties were. I would have and did think the same thing you do about my dog. Until my brother came walking in our house one day without knocking. She hit the door at a very aggressive run. He had to jump back and slam the door while we yelled at her to drop which she did right before she hit my brother. You just never know
I agree! I absolutely love my Bullmastiff, we're on our second one. Lost the first one at 9 years and that was a sad day. I've found that they are great protectors of person but not property. They do go ballistic if they think their owner is threatened but property protectors... naw lol!
I’ve had bullmastiffs for over 30 years and agree with everything except the training comment.. They are super easy to train and highly train at that.. they are super intelligent and don’t need verbal commands..
Hello mate! We have a bullmastiff named Molly and she is 2 and half years - Molly is our first dog in the family - Oh my God the best decision we ever made! She is just the amazing and so incredible! I cannot agree more on you what you said! I cannot say enough how much this big baby changed our life to best! I cannot wait every week for more videos! Thank you mate x
I have my new bullymastiff, I adopted at 2 years old about a week ago and he is everything you described, sweet, protective, friendly independant and chill!
6:43 I absolutely love what you said here about how dogs can provide so much emotional support to their owners. Even simply walking outside and meeting people who have dogs can make you feel a little bit brighter.
Thinking about getting a sheltered 11mo old male Mastiff/Bullmastiff. The shelter folks say he is a very intense dog. I like big dogs and the biggest dog I had for 10 years was an 83 pound Boxer mix with pit. Should I take my chances? There are no other dogs in my home or children. It will be just me and him.
Got a Bullmastiff rescue 3yrs ago. Can’t believe our luck, he is perfect for us. Trouble is, I don’t want any other breed now or in the future and we will only ever get a rescue dog. Luckily, if you look online there are a couple of Bullmastiff rescue kennels dotted around U.K. So if you’re willing to travel, check them out first if you would like one of these magnificent breeds.
My BM always loves going to the park with my grandkids and myself and loves all the kids there. One day a larger 13 year highly autistic child came up to him. At first I wasn't sure how he would react to the constant stimulating and loud grunting noises so I put him back on his leash. After only a minute I knew he was good with whatever this child would present him with so I took him back off leash. He happily let the child touch him all over and he rewarded the child with kisses. Most autistic children don't like being touch but he returned my BM's kisses with his own kisses. His mom asked if he was a service dog because the dog was a calming effect for her son. We are now taking service training.
I would like to take the quiz also..where is it? I'm looking for a puppy for my 4 year old that obviously i will wind up caring for and raising. I've never owned a dog but I believe he said this is not a.god.dog.for first time owners..I still want one..
Our bullmastiff loves getting guests, as long as they don't come through the door together with us for some reason. If they come in together with us (especially my mom) he will stay away from her and give her little barks. The kind that a dog gives out when they are deciding whether or not they should really start barking :P If she stays over though, he will be looking for her for days after she has left, getting a little worried about the new pack member suddenly disappearing xD
Do you or your guests come through the door first. If it's always you then that's fine, if your guests do it's because they don't live there. So in their minds they took over the pack. It's silly but it's more than likely what it is.
After 13 years with my Bull Mastiff I was forced to put him down 5 days ago. Total hart brake but 13 years out of a Mastiff is very good. He was a joy after he got passed 6 years old as without question, he was the most powerful dog I have ever owned and I had Great Danes for decades. He could (and did) take on a whole pack of Pit Bulls and throw them all around like rag dolls and trust me, after them pit bulls got back up, they KNEW they had nothing for the Mastiff ! We would get back home and play in his big yard and even with their huge very sharp teeth he very rarely drew blood on me, but they do love to play really rough! Will I get another one ? no, the reason is there totally dedicated to their owners for life and if the owner passes away the dog never gets over it and is devastated for the rest of its life. I am getting very old and if I go first, I could never do that to my family member. What can I say, I am a big dog lover. Every dog I ever had was over 100 pounds and lived 11 to 18 years each. The only bad part about a Bull Mastiff is there 40% English bull dog and are without question the most STURBBEN animal's I have ever trained .
Hi. Thanks for another great video. I'm actually thinking about getting Bullmastiff. I have 2 rottweilers, 3 cane Corsos and now I'm debating whether to get a Bullmastiff or American bully. Hard choice. Like both of them
My boy Atlas, a 1.5 year old Bull Mastiff, is the most incredible guard dog, and sticks to me like velcro. I didn't need to train him at all to guard the gate - came pre installed with gate guarding instinct. Unfortunately he likes to sleep on my feet - not convenient at 70kg (and growing).
I am looking into getting a second dog and have been really looking into the bullmastiff. Right now I have a beagle and I grew up with boxers. Boxers are wonderful dogs too and bullmastiffs remind me a lot of them only much calmer lol
I just got a 8 month mastiff x bull dog. She had no socialization and was afraid of everyone. After a week at our house with kids she is outgoing and loves going with kids. Not a reactive dog witch is so nice
I am 60 and am retired have grandkids not as often as I like is what it is thinking bull massive i have lot of time my youngest son is 21 . married to nurse.walking short distance couple times a day would be fun.but would it work for the puppy?
Hi Will, we need your help please. It is very important that we can get in touch with you, we don't now how to do that. We are new to Teck. Please HELP. Thankyou.
Everything you said is spot on wonderful dogs fantastic with Children ours used to lay on her put there hands in her mouth and fall asleep on her ..plus my wife was home on her own when a man tried to get in after she opened the door to him .Needless to say as soon as Bow our bitch charged him he ran ..he was lucky me wife shut the door so she couldn't get out.needless to say he never came back ..they truly are the best dogs.
Going For My Second Bullmastiff, The New Bully Comes Home April 20TH, 2022, I'm Very Excited And Can't Wait For My New Puppy, A Brindle Boy, My First Bullmastiff Was An Absolute Pleasure To Have In My Apartment, His Name Was Kairo And He Made It To 11 Years Old And Had To Be Put Down, It Broke My Heart, But He Had An Excellent Life.
I have a 2 year old pure bread red velvet bullmastiff He's a big suck very affectionate lives cuddles and walks I honestly couldn't ask for a better dog :) He's very protective when it comes to me and my children he gets jealous if I pay attention to my cat he will come by me and put his head under my hand lol best dog ever thats all I can say :) He's also a daddy of 7 pups :)
Hi Will. Am planning to get a Bullmastiff for my next companion. Would like to ask how about Health concerns & issues with regards to bullmastiff?. Or anybody here that could answer my query is much appreciated thanks .
Loved our bullmastiff Bridgett. She passed at 5yo due lymphoma which I had heard wasn’t uncommon with this breed, unfortunately. Very devastating for the family. She was the heart of the house.
I am considering getting one. My family and I think they are a perfect fit for our family. The only concern I have is how they get along with other dogs. We have a Newfoundland it would be sharing a home with. Any thoughts? Thanks.
Sean Merrill they are great with other dogs as long as they are socialised from a pup. I put my boy in doggy daycare from a pup and now at 70kg and almost 3yrs old, he’s the only adult dog allowed in they puppy room at daycare due to his gentleness with pups and other dogs for that matter. He’s a big softy, but he is fearsomely protective of my partner when I am not home and stays by her side when with her.
Maybe opposite gender would have the best chance of success. Mine gets on well with other dogs and he's very calm, and likes playing with my friend's new Cocker Spaniel puppy. He’s very good at determining whether a dog is all mouth and no trousers. What I would say is that he won’t be dominated, nor will he back down if a dog tries to really go for him. So if your Newfie is a dominant male, maybe I’d suggest a female, or vice versa. He’s also excellent with children. We also made sure to socialise him when young - straight to the pub beer garden!
My boy is 2yrs. Great with his animal family here. Blonde German Shepherd female. Three cats. Haha. Never a problem Peace. My second Boerboel. Prior, 14 yrs. 💖
I had a female bullmastiff from 2011-2019. We got her as a puppy in November 2011 and she died in September 2019 of cancer right before her eighth birthday. Now we have a male bullmastiff, who we got in December 2020 at the age of 1.5. Now he’s four. I love this breed. So affectionate, loyal, and protective. Plus completely adorable. Great video as always, Will!
I saw will’s last name at beginning. Seriously I thought his last name was fenrir thus the name for his site. I was sure wrong on that. Love bullmastiffs
Thanks for watching and it's great to hear your enjoy our videos! Sadly we're unable to recommend any breeders but we have some videos on our main channel looking at how to pick the right breeder for you: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7sMNmDwtfOM.html&pbjreload=101
We have a video looking at how they are with children and pets you might find interesting: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3ufzPClhGNg.html&pbjreload=101
Our Bullmastiff is about 4 months old now. We have a 10 year old, 8 pound min pin. So far the min pin actually runs the show with him. He does have some random puppy outbursts where he doesn't know this own size with her. But I can't imagine if raised with other animals from puppyhood that there would be any issues
I already had one. Unfortunately I lost him last year..😭😭 His name was Myson.. Age 8years.. He was ferocious however was like a lamb within the family...
Bullmastiff, Dogue De Bordeaux and English Mastiff. All 3 glorious family guardian dogs. Size wise, the Bullmastiff is the smallest in general, so easiest to "Live" with. All 3 are mellow in peace times, but competent in war times. Try not to compare these to the Neapolitan, Cane Corso and Presa Canario. These not as suited as a "Family dogs". They however are superb for more active guarding work if you have a property they can roam and guard, and of course they love their family (as dogs do).
Great video will, we are thinking of getting our 1st bullmastiff we have just moved to a big property and are looking for a family dog that will look after us and our house, thanks again
I've got one, he's a massive pain in the arse but he's a super loving pup & I love him. If you're thinking of getting one they don't like other male Pups ( we had to cut our home in half for 6 months as him & the staff we're trying to kill each other )Seriously they're an amazing pup super strong, very affectionate, head strong but lovely
My partner and me recently got a Shar pei cross Bullmastiff puppy. What i have found out about Bullmastiff’s from your video’s fills me with pride every time i look at her. Thank you for these video’s 👍
I've tried making a garden where I have mine and so far my mastiff and boxer have taken down a 20 ft tree in the span of 8 months and have taken out 13 rose bushes and Lost count of other plants lol 😂😂😂😂
My Bullmastiff is a assistance dog absolutely the best I can ask for ,the connection between us and the laughs she gives me is priceless,the beauty of my girl is I did not much as in training it's seems to come naturally to her and walk with a walker no problem I highly recommend the bull mastiff for assistance dog I went through a organisation that allow to do this with your own dog meaning ,she is 2.5 years and we are together all that time so there is a strong bond she is still sometimes to friendly to strangers that will come good one day
I love Bullmastiff I rescue my 1st one 5 years ago but I lost my boy mushu last year to cancer so I'm starting to look around again for a Mastiff they just big teddy bears that loves cuddles
My bull-mastiff guard dog is the only thing that made the ptsd nightmares go away. And I don't mean she " someone said something mean" ptsd, I mean "everything is shooting you and blowing up while you try to sleep for months on end" ptsd. Snowflakes ruin everything.
Thanks for watching! We actually have a video looking at the temperament of the Bullmastiff you might find helpful: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3_McxKTjxLs.html
Are they capable of holding their own if approached and challenged by another dog? I am not looking for a dog aggressive animal but one that could hold its own should the need arise.
I had a bullmastiff and a pit bull. A boxer got in the yard and attacked the pit bull. My bullmastiff took care of it. A German shepherd charged at one of my kids while in our yard, she took care of him too. Otherwise, she showed no interest in other dogs. They showed aggression toward her family and she responded. She was great a dog parks too.
I'm thinking about getting a bull mastiff. I have owned a few large breeds. Labs, Goldens, Bernese Mtn Dogs and now own a Staffy/Bull Mastiff mix i rescued. We are looking at puppies now to find one to buy. My question is this, do Bull Mastiffs drool as much as English Mastiffs do?
Mine is about 4 months old and so far no drool except for during/after drinking water. But I am keeping track of it. I'm sure it will change but so far no drooling!
Hey... I'm a retired police 🚔 officer who live in NYC and just bought a Bullmastiff. She is about to be 4 months on the 16th. She's from Ohio and she very skiddish abs fearful of noise and some people. She puts on the brakes when it's time to go for a walk all the time, then after a while she'll walk but the pump the brakes again. Have you made bullmastiff puppy videos, and any suggestions.
Hi there, how is she doing? I have a puppy as well, first time with a puppy (I’ve had 2 adults previously and 2 Eng mastiffs also, all who were rescued). I’ve never had a skiddish adult. I think puppies need socialization to build confidence. Now that we are walking a couple of times a day for a couple of months her confidence is really growing. I think that leery behavior initially is a sign of intelligence.
I have a Bull mastiff/ American bulldog mix. He likes to bark a lot when he wants something & won't stop till he gets it. I put him outside when he does this, got any advice on how to deter this behavior?
Hey April, thanks for watching and reaching out! We've got a video looking at 'How To Stop You'r Bullmastiff From Barking': ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0Yy9AcJ6M0Y.html. Hopefully this will give you some help 😊
I have a wonderful bull mastiff and boxer who I love very much as much as they love each other. My boxer sleeps on top of the mastiff on my front door every night it's awesome. Will be getting another mastiff and boxer this year they are just awesome and powerful.
I have a Bullmasiff female of 9 years old. She is the best dog i have ever seen. I love watching your video's. The lost of your Mabel was very emotional. I have also a Cane Corso of 4 months old. We learn so much from you and Mabel. And Rachel too! Thanks for making the best video's!
We had 2 Alaskan malamutes but now we are down to 1 & we’re thinking about a ball mastiff breed in a few years time, but I was wondering if they would get a long with a cat, if both were introduced as puppy & kitten. Also is they must difference in the nature or temperament of a male compared to a female.
I have no problem w him in the house. 2 yrs old , young pup rescued. He is not an outside animal. He must sleep close.. Three cats, Minpin, mature Golden Shepherd. Peace Great animals
Our Bullmastiff is about 4 months old now. We have a 10 year old, 8 pound min pin. So far the min pin actually runs the show with him. He does have some random puppy outbursts where he doesn't know this own size with her. But I can't imagine if raised with other animals from puppyhood that there would be any issues
Yes, if you have a strong personality and choose the right dog. If you need any help I am happy to assist you. I have had bullmastiffs for over 30 years and choose the owners for my pups to suit so know what to look out for.. Always meet the parents. and choose the right breeder. There are many terrible breeders around and I am in another country.
