Bullmastiff Breed
I have an 8 month old Bullmastiff as my Service Dog. It's kind of amuzing to see how differantly people react to him. Most of them think he's full grown. When I tell them that he's a pup they freak out. He's my baby. He's so loveable and laid back. His protective instinct hasn't kicked in yet. Diesel is 8 months old, 100 lbs, and stands 24" at his shoulders (whithers). He has a lot of growning to do because his paws are huge. He's finished his Obedience Classes and is getting ready to take his Canine Good Citizen (CGC) Test. After he passes the CGC then he qualifies to take the Therapy Dog International (TDI) Test. Then he will be a certified Therapy dog and we can go to Nursing Home, Hospitals, etc. to visit the ill.
On June 15th I will be picking up my 2nd Bullmastiff puppy. She will be my show dog. It's going to be a lot of work but I look forward to it. I have been retired from Government Service as a Federal Investigator for 2 years now. It's time to concentrate on what is GOOD in like instead of all BAD in life.
If you are thinking about buying a Bullmastiff, make sure that you have enough room for it in the house. Separating any pet from you is cruel. If you plan to just tie it out in the elements don't get one. Bullmastiffs are very sensitive to overheating and temperatures that are cold. They are wonderful pets, however, with them comes a great responsibility just as it does with any animal of great size and ability to harm others if not trained right.
