Breed History
This dog breed is descended from the bulldogs and mastiff in the then Old England. They became popular in the 1860s and were more of an asset. They have the ability to sneak up on you and this was very attractive to people. They were used to catch a lot of poachers and they became valuables. They now serve as watchdogs.
Temperament
The bullmastiff could be very playful and affectionate when they are at home with the family. They are very protective and are quick to become aggressive if they feel threatened. Outside the home, they could be mean to strangers and other canines. They could even bite just to prove a point. They are known to be very stubborn dogs and it is necessary to train and socialize them early.
Environment
This dog breed is known for its bulkiness. They are quite muscular and this means you’d have to house them somewhere with a lot of space. Though they do not make a lot of noise moving around, they should be able to do that without knocking down things. A fenced yard would be ideal. They could also adapt well to apartment living but you’d have to make sure the environment is secure and calm too. You should know that the bullmastiff is not very tolerant of humid weather conditions.
Exercise
The bullmastiff is a big dog and seeing its origin where it was used to catch poachers, you should have an idea of its energy levels. They do need a lot of exercise and you should be committed to this every day. You could let them run with you in the mornings or take them out for long walks later on in the evening. Either way, just be sure they are properly exercised so that they do not have any health problems in the future.
Grooming
The coat of the bullmastiff is short and somewhat coarse and shouldn’t be an issue to care for. You could brush them weekly and use your hands to massage them during shedding seasons. They, however, have minimal shedding so getting rid of the dead hairs should be easy to do.
You should also take note to clean their mouth area many times a day because they tend to have a lot of saliva dripping out and you don’t want this around the house. Brush his teeth and bathe him occasionally.

Relatively, yes. They drool before and after they eat, they drool when they see food and even when they are hot or cold or even stressed. This is part of their experience and lifestyle.
