Im thinking about getting a Bullmastiff. But I want a dog that will be like my shadow, go and do everything I do. You say they are low energy dogs. Does that mean if I go for a walk in the woods, would he rather stay at the house or go with me?

@calebcarterdodge

No, I'm sure that he would love to go walking with you. They just aren't like labs which need constant physical activity to be happy. If you're looking for a jogging partner though, I'd pick another breed. They love to run but run out of gas pretty quickly

i have a 4 month old bullmastiff, and he is full of energy, do you think this is because he is a puppy??

he is always looking for something to destroy lol,

@zamarcos

probably, but there are vastly different temperaments, even in the same litter. Keep correcting the behavior when you catch him in the act. Also, you might want to invest in some bitter barrier spray

What do you think of the bullmastiff as a breed for the first time owner.  It would be my first dog to raise on my own, I raised my parents dog the first 4 months of it's life but never been the sole caretaker before. I'll be working one full time job and have family around to spend time with him when I am at work and aid in socialization.

that being said, they make great family pets and make excellent companions. I have absolutely zero regrets about adopting Ranger. If you and your family can handle a large dog, I would recommend one highly.

I have Bullmastiff 7-1/2 months old. Sounds exactly like mine. Great companion.

This video is alot more than a 101. This was one of the best videos i have seen on the bullmastiff. This dog is one of the best breeds for protection. If you live in a city, this dog is great, and your right, you do not want an "OH NO DOG" in the any city, it can be a liability. Rottweilers scares the daylights out of most people. Presa canario's are dangerous{a really BIG pitbull that IS man aggressive}. Not to many breeds fit the bill & since most people live in cities, this dog is perfect.

Don't pay any attention to me!! I'll show them. Goodbye rocking chair. NOM NOM . . It's sad to hear though. I always think it is sad when people just adopt dogs for whatever reason and then throw them wherever.Adopting a dog is a large responsibility. Dogs aren't some inanimate object you can buy on impulse and then forget about. Not that that is what happened, but still. They should have known better. I am glad they chose adoption instead of throwing him out on the street. Good for him.
