Bullmastiff
Brawny British canine
A Bullmastiff is a large, powerful breed of dog developed in England by crossing bulldogs with mastiffs.
Originally bred to guard estates and track down poachers, the breed combines strength with surprising agility.
Bullmastiffs are muscular and broad-headed, typically fawn, red, or brindle in color, with a dark muzzle.
Despite their intimidating size, they're known for being docile and loyal family dogs.
