3 Things You Should Know About Bullmastiff

Big Dog — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 12:26:04 +0000

Bullmastiff is a particular breed of dog that was developed to aid the gamekeepers to look after the game on estates from the poachers in England. The function of the gamekeeper is very hazardous for poaching was a hanging offense, in line with this any poacher that is in the peril of being jammed wouldn’t think twice to harm or worse kill the gamekeeper. The name itself entails the Mastiffs and Bulldogs were utilized as a base for the objective was to make a dog that is quicker and more belligerent compared to a Mastiff but is more huge than Bulldog but not as ferocious. Going back to the forgotten centuries, Bulldogs then was not as passive as they are now. Bullmastiffs were skillfully bred to trail poachers silently, run diminutive distance in a very short time and then pin and hold the poacher with the limitation of not tearing him up into tiny pieces that is why this breed is also named as the Gamekeeper’s Night Dog.

You should know that this particular dog does not like other dog most especially those with the same sex. It is ultimately not a good idea to have male Bullmastiff and another male dog to put them together in one house regardless the breed of the other dog is. Note that they don’t like dogs but loves to socialize with human and has the need to be a part of the family. Failure to do so and just leaving him behind in the yard will result to bad and destructive behaviors that can endanger people considering his huge size. This dog is very loyal companion and a silent protector of your home if given enough training, love and attention.

The Bullmastiffs were first acknowledged by the American Kennel Club in 1933. During 2000 its ranks 52nd in the registry of AKC, today it went up by 10 notches as it holds the 42nd rank.

A Bullmastiff in Saudi Arabia

Big Dog — Tue, 17 May 2011 10:04:42 +0000

A friend of mine needs to move to Saudi Arabia for a while and he asked me whether his Bullmastiff would survive the climate. Well, most of Saudi Arabia has a desert climate, except the province of Asir, but unfortunately he is not going there. This sort of climate can get very extreme. Temperatures go up to 45°C in the summer and drop in the evening. So while you feel like you’re getting a heatstroke during the day, you’ll be cold at night. The temperature rarely goes below 0°C in winter. The spring and autumn are the best with average temperatures of around 29°C. There is very little rain in Saudi Arabia, so the flora and fauna is not very exciting.
Knowing all that, I told my friend that Saudi Arabia will not be Carlo’s (his Bullmastiff) favorite place to stay, but he will survive. They will be living in an air conditioned apartment anyway so as long as they avoid the midday heat and go for walks early morning and late evening, they should be fine. I also told my friend to watch out for any signs of a possible heat stroke such as:

Increased rectal temperature
Lying down, being passive
Vigorous panting
Dark red gums
Dizziness or disorientation
Dry mucus membranes
Collapse and/or loss of consciousness
Thick saliva

If one ore more of these happens, the dog should be cooled down ASAP. It’s best not to wait for a vet, because it may be too late. Do the cooling by removing your dog from the sun and placing wet clothes over it. Don’t just bang a bucket of cold water on the poor animal, because that could kill it straight away.

While most dogs, including the Bullmastiff, will do okay in hot climates, owners must be cautious all the time and watch out for signs of abnormal behavior.

History of the Bullmastiff

Big Dog — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 08:57:36 +0000

The Bullmastiff, which is the only guarding dog breed from England was created in 19th century in this country. At these times, landowners were threatened by poachers, so they employed gamekeepers to protect their area. Gamekeepers needed a fast, fearless and powerful dog to help them do their job – the perfect breed for this need would have been a combination of an Old English Bulldog and a Mastiff. So they crossed the two breeds and create a new one: the Bullmastiff, which is a cross of 40% English Bulldog and 60% Mastiff. That is how their perfect guard was created.

Later on, the Bullmastiff became more and more known and popular. It is recognized by the English Kennel Club since 1924 and by the American Kennel Club since 1933.
