It is good to know how the Bullmastiff breed was created. The country of origin is England. The breed was created by Gamekeepers.
English Gamekeepers had the task to protect the game in the estates and they needed a reliable assistant for this purpose. Mastiffs were not good for this work, they turned out to be slow and did not have the drive necessary to track down and hold a bad man. Bulldogs were also tried, but this breed turned out to be very ferocious and tended to tear the poacher up too much.
So, crosses were made of the Bulldog and Mastiff. This type of dog was called the Bullmastiff. It perfectly did its job. The dog could easily track a man in the forest even at the darkest night. It worked very quietly. The Bullmastiff had to be very brave to fulfill the task.
