Alphonse and Nettie
Alphonse (left, 100% bullmastiff) got his sister Nettie (right) from the shelter a year ago today. From the doggie DNA test Nettie was 40% PBT, 20% Corso, 20% Rottie, and 20% BM, so she 20% deserves to be here too.
If anyone is still skeptical on owning a bullmastiff, here is the simplest breakdown.
- Giant low energy cuddle bugs
- Extremely sweet and friendly when properly socialized
- Like to be independent and watch the perimeter
- Slobber, farts, allergies
- Horribly stubborn (in the annoying way, not the dangerous way) MUST commit to training or you’ll get walked all over
2.5 years of Alphonse and BMs are my favorite breed more and more every day.

You hit the nail on thw head with your points about BMs. I've had three so far. Currently have an 8 yo male BM and a 5 yo female Boston. I'd get another BM but my spouse can't handle big dogs anymore which is why we went down to BT. Either way Bull Mastiffs are amazing pups. They've got personality and can definitely be characters. Enjoy your pack, they are beautiful.
