Bullmastiff Origin

Bullmastiff breeds are crossbred of British Mastiff and Bulldog breeds. These hybrids dating back to 1700 have been the subject of documentaries, but modern Mastiffs have been bred in the 1800's. Rich owners have been feeding these dogs to fight illegal hunting because these dogs have taken the Bulldogs' speed and the strength of the Mastiffs. The targeted mix is 60% Mastiff and 40% Old British Bulldog. The Bullmastiff was originally a dark-haired (which later called as hunting watcher night dog), which could be a natural night camouflage, but later light-colored dogs were preferred and used as house dogs by upper class people. Bullmastiffs were recognized in 1933 by the American Kennel Club. Famous Bullsmatiffs are, Rocky's 'Butkus' dog and the character in the 'See Spot Run' movie.
