Bullmastiff English gamekeepers bred the bullmastiff in the mid-1800s, because they needed a fast, yet not overly ferocious, dog to help keep poachers at bay. Enter the bullmastiff, a 60/40 split of a mastiff and bulldog, and a breed that continues to maintain the same confident and fearless, yet kind and friendly, disposition it’s had since the beginning. Despite the bullmastiff’s impressive size and stature — they can weigh between 100 and 130 pounds (45 and 59 kilograms) and stand up to 2 feet (.6 meters) tall — they actually require minimal exercise. This breed has proven to be a popular family pet among politicians and celebrities: For example, former U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt owned a bullmastiff named Blaze, and actor-director Sylvester Stallone cast one of his own in the film “Rocky.” ~Suzy
