Where Every Paw Feels at Home.
Also known as Gamekeeper's night dog
A quiet, heavyweight guardian with a soft heart at home
Bullmastiffs were developed on English estates to deter poachers, and they still combine a powerful build with a calm, loyal nature. They are gentle with their family but strong-willed, so early socialisation and steady handling matter.

This breed needs about 45 minutes of activity a day. Around 3 sitter-led sessions a week keeps that routine going when work or travel gets in the way.

Best-matched service
Less than most large breeds - around 45 minutes of steady walking is enough. Short walks spread through the day suit them better than one long hard session.
They are usually patient and affectionate with family children, but their weight can knock a small child over by accident. Supervision is important.
Many do, especially after drinking or when excited. Keep a cloth handy and wipe the face and lip folds to prevent skin irritation.
