I saw my first English Bull Mastiff tonight

What a stocky dog - just like a miniature Heifer or at least the same proportions !

Such a soft nature too ! ( The owners said that my two would scare him ).............they didn't

There`s no such thing as an "English Bull Mastiff" its either a "Bull Mastiff" or " Mastiff", so not sure which breed you mean

this is 2 mastiffs (taken from wikipedia)



my bullmastiff book says bullmastiff are a cross of these mastiffs with an old english bulldog. which is why they look so similar (correct me if im wrong)

Mastiffs are about double the size of a Bullmastiff (weight wise), and quite a lot taller.
Apart from that, they are very similar!

Will dig out an old pic of my (now deceased) Bullmastiff next to a Mastiff.
