reason, doesn't bite and barks only in case of emergency.

thanks to a thick skin and very dense, skintight hair. It attracts
little attention when kept in the apartment. It doesn't leave saliva
all over the apartment. The bullmastiff is unobtrusive and doesn't
demand special attention from an owner.

decision.

the owner. It is tolerant towards cats, willingly takes part in
family joy games. Children are the best friends of the bullmastiff.

bullmastiffs is that all of them feel mood of the owner,
understand it from the first gesture. They are at ease if
all gathered together 'cause it is easier for them to watch and
protect all around. And they are disturbed if someone is missing

unique dog with its own temper. The provided description gives only
