Bullmastiffs boast a surprising duality: fearless at work and docile at home. Undeniably large, their imposing stature is softened by their loving and loyal nature. Their intelligence and unwavering confidence are reflected in their broad heads with dark eyes, V-shaped ears, and deep muzzles. Their short, dense coat comes in fawn, red, or brindle, while their powerful build showcases a combination of strength, endurance, and agility.
