History

• He was developed in England by game keepers to protect against poachers
• He was developed by crossing the Mastiff with the Old English Bulldog

Personality and Behavior

• He's a loving giant and likes to live inside with his family
• He's fearless, confident and docile
• His protective instinct means he will defend his turf and family if he perceives a threat
• He's wary of strangers
• He doesn't always get along well with other dogs
• He slobbers a lot
• He gets on well with children
• He is one of the best guard dogs

Training

• He's not easy to train. You will need patience as he is slower than most to learn obedience commands.

Shedding

• He sheds quite a bit of hair. You'll find some hair stuck to your clothes, couch and carpets.

Grooming / Maintenance

• His short coat only needs to be brushed occasionally. However, because it sheds you may find yourself brushing it once a week, or more, to minimize the hair in your home (what you remove with a brush doesn't end up on the couch!).
