The Bullmastiff, which originates from England, is a cross between the Mastiff breed and the Bulldog. We can still find traces of Mastiff Bulldog types back to 1795. Bullmastiffs began to be judged only in 1924.
One of the utilities of the Bullmastiff was a gamekeeper, it was used to tackle, knock down and hold poachers. It was trained to be rough and menacing, but not to bite. It was also used by the Diamond Society of South Africa as a watchdog. Today it is a great companion for the family and a good guardian.
