BULLMASTIFF VS ENGLISH MASTIFF

BULLMASTIFF VS ENGLISH MASTIFF. The English Mastiff and the Bullmastiff have many qualities in common and can sometimes be confused with one another. Today I break down the differences between the two breeds.

I rescued an adult bullmastiff from a rescue agency and later rescued 2 English Mastiff puppies. My bullmastiff literally trained my pups house training, manners and how he walked the fence line perimeter daily. Such incredible breeds.

My friend came home to find her Bull Mastiff, in the yard, his mouth gently around the neck of large, supine man. It was the meter reader, who'd taken upon himself to open the gate & enter the yard. He wasn't injured, at all, not even any broken skin. He'd been there for six hours.

The Bull Mastiffs I had growing up were very aggressive at the front gate towards anyone that was coming to visit, until someone from the family came to the gate to let them in, once the dogs saw that they were greeted and accepted by one of us they backed right off and would go forward to say hello and then they would be more than comfortable with their presence in their territory, different story when it was someone that we didn`t know at the gate, but they would quieten down but not get behind us, they would remain in place between them, the gate and us...very very good guard dogs and very good at naturally reading body language between their people and people that entered their territory...

I'm on my second English Mastiff. She was recently present at a spontaneous dog fight between a boxer and a beagle. She did not get involved. It was a very scary moment but very proud that she didn't react. She is very loving to her family and makes strangers take a step back which I really like. My first English Mastiff made a police officer take a step back. She definitely got his attention. So funny!

[@annaknight4865]

I oned 2 Great Pyrenees and one day my mom and I spent all day Xmas shopping. But that day we had thunderstorms all day. When we got home we found a police officer waiting in the driveway and we were freaking out thinking someone maybe broke in and hurt the dogs. The cop said alarms had been going off all over the county because of the thunder rattling the windows setting off the glass sensors. He said they had checked the homes for break-ins. When he got to ours a neighbor stepped out and warned him not to go near the window but he did. H said the next thing he knew was 2 of the largest and most pissed-off dogs he had ever seen charged the glass. He said I knew no one was in there at least no one alive and if they were he wasn't dumb enough or brave enough to go get them out. They are a mastiff offshoot bread to protect herds from wolves. They will intervene and attack to defend what is theirs. Very patient and loving with kids. My friend would leave her toddlers with them while we worked in the yard.

[@hauddubius3706]

I'd say they're more the type of guard dog that instead of charging at the aggressor would simply put themselves between you and the aggressor. So it's less likely they would have to attack as most people are going to be put off by their sheer size when they stand tall and proud in front of you. But make no mistake, the person would still have to get through these guys before they could get to you. Of course a gun changes everything, as it would any guard dog.

Cat opened fridge and Argus pulled the turkey out and they were Found munching down on the turkey together in the kitchen lol. But you are so right about both breeds.

I had a beautiful fawn coloured bullmastiff that was both a show dog and a wonderful family pet. He was both a Canadian and US champion, and of all the dogs I have had he was the easiest to train. The only negative to the breed is like other giant breeds they have a relative short lifespan of likely around eight years. I highly recommend the breed to families with young children.

[@mauricioornelas2603]

Is it better than the English mastiff ?

[@thrashmammothdan]

@@mauricioornelas2603 It all depends on what you want. If you want a natural guardian, than yes. Thats the big difference to me other than size. Both are mammoths, but the bullmastiff is definitely sharper and quicker to check out anything that goes bump in the night. They won't attack, they don't need to, a bark alone is enough, and that's commonly what you get. You can't turn it off though, beware, as sometimes when you get jolted awake over tin can blowing down the street you wish you could. They are big babies to the family and friends. Sometimes a bit too boisterous as well. Mines super jolly and smiley all the time, but very quick to react to perceived threats. Bulls are a bit more stubborn than the English but all part of the fun in owning them.

Having large breed dogs all my life (over 100 pounds) at me now 70 I just put my Bullmastiff down at 13 years old. Going from 3 Danes and a Stbernard and Remi my last Bullmastiff I only keep them 1 at a time so they always had the complete run of the house alone. I do agree getting them from a puppy and fully training them from the get go is a very wise way to go. My concern now is at my age me being able to control a new puppy up to 4 years old and raise them to be a proper addition to my home might be found to be very difficult at my age. I feel they become much better dogs from 6 years on as they tend to understand the owner is their supplier of food and they tend to watch & protect the owner more from around 6 years old. They are a real hand full under 6 as they just want to play rough and be a total clown, not that that is bad but makes it hard to control when training. I REALLY am worried about the control issue as a puppy at my age to get a new replacement. However, with crime rising it's very important to have another Mastiff on the property as with my last Mastiff my home was the only house that was never broke into.

My English Mastiff, Lucy Gossie is around 12 years and 2 or 3 months old. We're both old now, in the US and I can't imagine a better companion. If you raise a Mastiff with love, it will become a great dog. Drooling is its only downfall.

[@oursimplesustainablelife8432]

During our years in Mastiff Rescue when we lived in the States, we had plenty to do with both breeds. I want to emphasize what you said about the Bullmastiff's guarding instincts kicking in at about a year. We found that to be quite true. That's why socialization when they are very young is essential. English Mastiffs are just darlings. They would always put themselves between my wife and any guests they didn't know, just to be on the safe side. As a husband, that was one of their most appealing traits. They behaved perfectly, just wanting to be a barrier. They would sleep soundly, knowing they were available it the Mrs. needed assistance. We did have one big brindle boy who was raised as a bait dog in a fighting ring. He was much more unpredictable. He was great with us, but with strangers, he had to be managed very well until he really knew them and trusted them. Such is the nature of Rescue. I recommend both breeds with all my heart. I love when you do videos on these breeds. Thanks.

[@uzazil]

As far as trainability, are bullmastiffs better to learn the basics and just naturally fall in line, but on their terms? For example I have a blue heeler pitbull mix, that's wicked smart. I can teach her things to the point of just knowing it in 3 tries. But sometimes she does things right away like if I'm telling her it's potty time she rushes to the door, but other times she'll sit at the top of the stairs and just stare blankly then eventually mosey down stretch with a "I guess I'll go out now" kind of attitude lol. I actually find it hilarious, especially when she demands to go out and throws a shoe at you lol. I have never met a BM but I kind of imagine that is the stubbornness everyone talks about. Would you say that sounds about right?

We and our family were fine, but I was just a wee bit more concerned about guests.

I am considering both of these breeds. My wife and I have no children but we do have an 8 year old Boston terrier. Since we live in Houston and my Korean wife does not want a gun for herself, I want a dog that is exactly what either of the breeds would be. A loving and gentle protector for when I am away from home. My Boston would probably beat my wife in a foot race to a hiding place. LOL I have been watching a lot of your videos lately, Will. I have learned a lot from your knowledge, insight and informative videos. When we get our dog, we will be ordering your perfect puppy course for sure and probably some other products.

We have talked about it and thought that since we have never owned a dog before we felt it might be better to get a smaller dog at first (haven't done that yet either but are thinking English or French Bulldog or a Boston Terrier) as we felt it might be easier to manage. It is tough to be a first time dog owner, but could be a disaster to have a BIG dog as your first dog...IE Hooch from Turner and Hooch. That was are thinking anyway.

We have owned 2 Bullies and fostered a 3rd. They are indeed stubborn but make up for it by being incredibly loving. They absolutely will put themselves between you and anyone they don't know and mine seemed to enjoy the opportunity to be alert and on duty. They are working dogs after all. They crave attention but if you are sitting and are not loving on them they will be content to lay next to you, contacting you in some way; normally a paw on your foot. Mine also liked to slide down my shins and lay on my feet. From experience I will say this, if you can get them through their 7th year you will probably have them for 2 to 3 more years. The 7th year seems to be the stumbling block for this breed. We currently have a wonderful Bassett Hound but do hope go down the path of a Bully again.

Love your channel and everything you're doing to educate dog owners. Please help correct the common misconception of the Bullmastiff's size. No adult male bullmastiff weighs 130lbs unless its being starved to death. Females are rarely that small. Adult male BMs are 150-180lbs and Females are 125-145lbs.

I lost my bullmastiff 2 years ago. He was the best boy ever. So good with my kids. My youngest was only 3 when we got him as a puppy. She had this little rocking chair she would sit in, eating cheese. That big bullmastiff puppy would belly crawl over to her until his muzzle could just touch her foot and then he would gently lick her big toe. She'd giggle and give him just a crumb of cheese. This would go on and on. Never did he jump on her or overpower her to take the cheese. They grew up together until he passed away at the age of 10. He guarded my kids like that was his job and he never hurt one of them, even on accident. He seemed to have an innate sense with kids and fragile adults and was especially gentle with them. But I saw him in protection mode a few times and I'm really not convinced he would have only knocked the guy trying to break into my house down, and held him there. It's a good thing that tweaker could run.

[@wanton1234]

I have an english. the last guy didn't get stranger danger until about 3 or 4. I have a 2-year-old now. not one speck of stranger danger yet :( in my experience you really need to watch an english closely in publc. english do not announce before they attack. something to consider

[@thrashmammothdan]

0recently walking my bullmastiff (Peanut) around our side of town, boom!....Bambi and her 3 kids came running out of some brush right in front of us, was super funny when Nut reacted by smiling and kept going....i'd have been about fucked if he decided to go after them!

[@michelleconway7509]

My bullmastiff is a full one but he has a chocolate mask and is 4 moths his guarding instincts are coming through now is this a normal age for it and would he not be classed as a bullmastiff as he has a chocolate mask

[@bostons_departed3631]

There’s a dog place thing 30 miles from my house. I’ve been looking for a compliment to my pitbull. She is just an awful guard dog. Not territorial, but person protective. This place has an English mastiff and a Bullmastiff for sale. Hopefully this video is all I need to decide. And it’s also the dog I will eventually breed said big 70lb pitbull with…

[@pramodhb6796]

Well EM is Mastiff pro, capable but less hyper and BM is Mastiff lite,small but more efficient.

[@paulfranciosi7236]

2 great English breed's.

[@EfrainSerrano-od8cx]

Thank you 🙏🏼 ❤my 🐶 his name is rocky Xmas

[@britthemmeryckx8855]

We are getting an American mastiff-puppy (Kangal - Bullmastiff mix) to acompany our nearly three-year-old Am Staff, looking forward to it! If you have any tips for us, they're always welcome.

[@willathertonbullmastiffsho7064]

This is exciting! We have a video on our channel that would be helpful, it covers everything you need to know about the Bullmastiff puppy: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rF7QaKN3aJ2snZY

[@johnlohden1210]

Hi Will, great video but one question if the need to protect did arise how does the English Mastiff do it's task or would it not do anything really to actually protect ? Watching this whole series to make a decision. Thanks

[@augustfarkas259]

The large breeds naturally often will insert itself between its family and things it considers a possible threat. Large breeds use their size to corner a threat and wait for directions. These are generalizations, and if u want it to perform specific tasks, you can train it to do what you want.

[@johnlohden1210]

Thanks for the reply, and that was the answer I was hoping for, as that is what I had heard ( anybody else agree or disagree ? ) I think it makes the English Mastiff a safe protector

[@willynordboe5853]

Having a hard time choosing between Newfoundland and EM. Really dont want any guarding instinct because i dont want to endanger my kids friends or unknown ppl, we dont need that supicious trait in our household. But i really want a dog that truly connects with me as his/her owner. Had an Akita, and really miss the close relationship we had.

[@grekoy]

I'm curious. Is there a dog breed similar to the Bullmastiff or English Mastiff but medium or small size and don't drool?

[@MARSIPAANIOFKLT]

both. i wishd id had both

[@corychartier7961]

For a large guard dog in India would you say Boerboel or Bull Mastiff?

[@Rivaboyz1987]

I had a English bullmastiff for 7 yrs miss my boy rip khani boi

[@johnlohden1210]

Hi Will just a question about the English mastiff or bullmastiff, I live with two cats and am concerned with food aggression. Which breed would be better in regards my cats being around the food bowl. Thanks John

[@jimjohnson3521]

I have a cat and chickens and ducks and a pug. My English Mastiff was awesome with all.

[@aftonstephanski1785]

Which breed would you choose for a family guardian with young children?

[@sebsaeya]

What about the differences in health?

[@sharonogbonnaya3507]

Thinking of getting a English mastiff just hard to find a breeder in the west Midlands x

[@gailhughes7072]

Same here Sharon, I’m looking for a quality breeder of English Mastiffs, I too are in the West Midlands, I know Will travelled to Italy 🇮🇹 for Eileen but I’m not able to do that 😥. Not sure if Will has done a video on what to look for and what to ask when looking forward a good breeder, that would make a good video. X

[@kayceegreer4418]

Will, I saw your podcast on KZbin of May, 2020, would you and your wife discussing the loss of your Bullmastiff Millie. I'm touched by your loss it was the same for me and my white Boxer Baby HueyEtta and my American Staffordshire Terrier Lovie Dovie. For each was felt unfathomable feelings of loss for a loving, gentle, protective soul who would fight lions, tigers and bears just save the ones she loves and to keep them safe. The first was omniscient and would not let you know there was trouble until it was absolutely necessary for her to act she would go from Jester to White Knight in a second and would even protect people who have been allowed in the home especially those who were a dog sitter for her when I was on vacation. The latter, She went into every room before me, checked it out and returned for me to catch up and once I was there, turned her back to me and watched the opening to that room guarding against all comers. I never taught her this, oh, and she would inspect every blade of grass as if she had OCD. She ranged and protected the perimeter of our yard and when she was satisfied, and only when she was satisfied, would she come when I called her, it was her sworn, solemn self- appointed duty mind you - unless I said "Come NOW, get a TREAT". That is the only thing in the world that would interrupt her work! Those were independent thinkers that would disobey you IF you didn't know what was going on, BUT they did. I'm pretty sure you would like that sort of protector for your family and I've done a great lot of research into many different types of dogs and as far as family and protection and mellow both my boxer and Amstaff learned to be bored they were crate trained and they were what I called chill but will dogs they would chill with me or be willing to get up and go anywhere or engage with any possible threat in a heartbeat. Like you, I am searching for a longer-lived dog with no health issues beyond some minor decrepitus with age past 10yrs. There is not a lot good that can be said for AKC and UKC breeds that have been around for ages, unless you know the breeder breeds AWAY from certain genetic faults & diseases that are known to affect the particular breed. There is, on the other hand, MUCH to be said for Hybrid Vigour. So if you are considering getting a Mastiff I know you mean English Mastiff, consider the American Mastiff or find someone in the UK or near enough Middle East that has bred an English Mastiff with a Kangal or Anatolian Shepherd. That way it would not have to fly hopefully, or maybe the rules are different in UK about what is considered a brachycephalic dog. In the 80s, in Pennsylvania ~ United States ~ was begun the process of developing an American Mastiff. Now well-established, it resembles the English Mastiffs the way they looked in earlier centuries - long-legged, not that heavy of a body, no excess droopy skin except around the neck a little bit, but are, instead, tighter lipped, no droopy jowls or dewlaps, and the flews do not hang down nearly to their breastbone. You know what that means right? Way less drool! Your wife should love that! They are quite spry and fleet-of-foot, have quite a lot of endurance and because Kangal is a landrace dog, the health is in the genes of that whole survival-of-the-fittest thing. The Anatolian Shepherd, which many people argue is exactly the same dog has been bred down to be more mild-mannered and perhaps more obedient from the sources that I have read and heard, so then I should think that would be the softer of the two if a hybrid were to be bred. But the American Mastiff was bred of English Mastiff and Kangals, so there you have it. Surely, you could find somebody that crossed a Mastiff and an Anatolian? The American Mastiff live 12 to 15 years. The Amstaff lives 12 to 16 years, without being a hybrid. I had been thinking of crossing a Boxer with an American Staffordshire, hoping for the same Hybrid Vigour we got out of a German Shepherd + Chow Chow cross that live to be 18 or 19 years old. That breed mashup produced a dog the color of a golden retriever who looked like a very large Fox - all one color except for the blondish hair that peeked through of the undercoat. She had no excess of Flesh she had smaller erect ears a perfect athletic body, well angulated rear legs that had no hip dysplasia or luxating patella; she stood exactly on her paws and no other part of her legs, her pasterns were good and she did not stand on stiff back legs like the Chow or on her tippy toes as is the normal stance of a Chow Chow on its forelegs. The back was perfect, it was a perfect topline. the back was not as long as the German Shepherd's and it definitely did not have a banana slope in it. Tina was a more squarely built dog than the German Shepherd Dog itself and when she got arthritis from being stuck for many years on a ten-foot chain and not getting any exercise except for to run around in that circle as an outdoor only dog, all it took was a Labbeagle (escape artist) to run around the countryside with and she was brand new, and lived those extra 8 years. She had gotten depressed and they thought that she was going to die, when we adopted her from a family who was going overseas and they did not think she could make the trip and time in quarantines, etc. 18 yrs, Will. 18. Hybrid Vigour. Think about it....

I have a 3 yrs old 130 pound bullmasiff who finds it harder to backing down towards any big or small other dogs if he's attacked! but listen well" when he's told the same towards people. I want to find out how to change his attitude when he get upset against other dogs.. he plays well but don't knows how to play fight well, can I get any notes on how to help this?

Will there be any complications in pregnancy if my bull mastiff cross with English mastiff ?

[@bostons_departed3631]

I need a suitable male to buy and raise to have puppies with my pitbull. Out of these two, is there one that is more compatible with a pitbull? I know little about mastiffs lol. Shes a sturdy gal. Knee high, in 5’10, she’s about 22 inches tall, 70 pounds. So, she’s not a small pitbull lol.

[@camtana4998]

What about the European Great Danes that overshadow 108.862 kilos? Why aren’t they labeled as the compartmentalized weightiest?

[@neilferguson7176]

Ancient Greek philosopher Srabo, forgive the spelling wrote about the English Mastiff stating, that the British dogs were more ferocious, bigger and quicker than their Greek counterparts. Even the Romans took the British dogs back to Rome to fight in their Amphitheatre. They must have been in the British Isles a lot longer than most give credit for.

[@jessicaevans5279]

I have an english mastiff and he is a very very loving dog but definitely still acts like he is on crack sometimes. He is 1.5. Any tips please?

[@wurzelbert84wucher5]

Wait another 1 1/2 year, they will eventually grow up, it just takes time ;)

[@HgHg-yp6ft]

English Mastiff was anything but slow and gentle before the official banning of bull and bear biting in England in 1835 which in turn led to selective breeding of the most docile dogs so to fight the perception of them as super ferocious giant beasties unacceptable for the changes in the society in this period... which they were at that time. This was the only way to save the breed{or some traits of it} which was on the brink of extinction. Pictures depicting them from that period shows dogs which resemble quite closely current days Boerboels.

[@mh-do3pe]

How do you transport these giants? Are they capable of jumping into a SUV without any assistance?

[@willathertonbullmastiffsho7064]

Yes they can :) they may need more assistance as they age but as long as they are active it shouldn't be a problem

The amount of drooling also varies between dogs even if they are same breed.
