Summary
About Bullmastiff
Large, powerful guardian originally bred to catch poachers, the Bullmastiff is calm, confident and deeply loyal, often bonding closely with one person. It has a short, low‑maintenance coat, needs space, consistent early training and socialisation to guide its natural protectiveness.
About Tibetan Mastiff
Ancient Himalayan guardian breed, large and powerful yet agile, with a thick weather‑proof coat and lion‑like mane. Calm indoors but strongly territorial and vocal when guarding. Deeply loyal, independent, aloof with strangers, and best suited to experienced owners.
