This dog’s sheer size is often deemed a hazard especially around children. Yet these dogs were also initially bred to work as guard dogs on large estates in England.
The Bullmastiff’s solid build is particularly formidable. It is a powerfully built animal to say the least. Because the Bullmastiff is a born guard dog, it can aggressively if it believes its human family is in danger. It can also be confused or agitated if kids or teens are rough-housing or wrestling. The dog could act out and someone could easily be hurt if it does.
