Short History of the BreedThe Bullmastiff breed is a combination of the Mastiff and the Bulldog. It was created in England in the mid-1800s and is the only guard breed to originate in England. The Bullmastiffs were bred to help game keepers of large estates catch poachers. The dog could track a person in the forest at 
night; work quietly; and, when they were close they charged and knocked the man down and held him there until the gamekeeper arrived. This was not easy since the poachers used every trick and tool they could to escape, knowing that they faced hanging. The Bullmastiff had to be very brave and tenacious and more than one suffered death at the hands of a desperate criminal. But, the breed was exactly what the gamekeeper needed and they did their job well.
