Welcome to DJC Bullmastiffs. We are a small growing kennel. We fell in love with the Bullmastiff Breed in 2000. We researched the breed and in 2006 we found and purchased our first 2 Bullmastiffs from a well-maintained and well-managed kennel. Our male and female are from different blood lines. Our Bullies are raised in our home and are treated like family. We love our bullies and they love us. Both of our Bullies have completed obedience training. Our male has been trained for conformation showing by a professional trainer. We have a health program for our Bullies to maintain the quality of their health. As we breed our dogs, the puppies will immediately begin a health program. We strive to have the healthiest puppies and dogs possible. |

That of a symmetrical animal, showing great strength, endurance, and alertness; powerfully built but active. Bred by English Gamekeepers in the 1800s to tackle poachers, the Bullmastiff (also known as a Gamekeeper's Night Dog) was a cross of 40% English Bulldog for its agility and tenacity (which was the Old English Bulldog, not the short, fat Bulldog of today) and 60% English Mastiff for its size, strength and loyalty. They bark much less often than other breeds, but when they bark they will make your head turn, as it is dark and hollow sounding. The Bullmastiff was recognized as a pure-bred dog in 1924 by the English Kennel Club. In October, 1933, The American Kennel Club recognized the Bullmastiff. |

Size--Dogs, 25 to 27 inches at the withers, and 110 to 130 pounds weight. Bitches, 24 to 26 inches at the withers, and 100 to 120 pounds weight. Other things being equal, the more substantial dog within these limits is favored. Proportion--The length from tip of breastbone to rear of thigh exceeds the height from withers to ground only slightly, resulting in a nearly square appearance. |
