You're right. A bullmastiff.
Loveable things, aren't they? Mastiffs are sweethearts, bred to look threatening and scare away intruders but really be a big baby with the family.
You're right it is a bullmastiff. They are great dogs very friendly and sweet also good with other dogs.
shareHe is not a bull mastiff or an english mastiff. But he is a mastiff. He is an american mastiff, albeit a very small one. They usually way between 160 lbs to 200lbs.
shareHe is a fawn Bullmastiff. I got a Bullmastiff and i know it is !
shareA Bullmastiff for sure.
shareNope he's actually an African Boerboel
shareA young woman got killed by a bullmastiff few years back in Finland. It was a sad case, especially since i heard that this breed is supposed to be very sweet with humans. The girl was walking her friend´s dog and dog just snapped and brutalized her lethally.
shareFirst time i hear about any violence from bullmastiffs. mine during 4 years has done nothing bad. a sweet smart boy, kind, you just caress him, he will enjoy for hours. it's a big kitten :)
i enjoyed the natural way the bullmastiff is shown in the movie - mine behaves same, can sit for hours looking at us talking as if he understands something. not stealing food, knowing his place in the house, listening to what i say. very obedient dog. who is really upset if he disappoints me however strange that may sound to people who dont have dogs.
not sure though he would be same outside with people he doesnt know. or if somebody tries to break into the house. though my friends walked with him, my relatives did, never any complaints - the dog waits for commands and happy to fulfill your wishes. everybody is always surprised how clever the dog is.
Do you still have your bull mastiff? He sounds like the sweetest guy in the world! I love where you said he gets upset if he disappoints you. You obviously have a strong connection with him and have trained him well.
I normally like smaller dogs like English or French bulldogs, but the one in this film was so cute. I also like that he was athletic and a good runner.
Ultimately it comes down to how dogs are raised. There are no inherently vicious dogs, but certain breeds like pit bulls are raised to be attack dogs. Some dogs also become very protective of their owners, which can have good and bad results. If a dog is socialized well, he gets along with people and other animals and doesn't automatically see strangers as a threat.
Why do you say Spot is a Boerboel? I don't think so -- I agree that he's a Bullmastiff.
