Doubull-Mastiff

The Bullmastiff presents a symmetrical, powerfully built appearance that conveys great strength, endurance, and alertness while remaining active and agile. Male Bullmastiffs stand between 25 to 27 inches at the withers and weigh 110 to 130 pounds, while females measure 24 to 26 inches in height and weigh 100 to 120 pounds. The breed standard favors the more substantial dog within these limits, emphasizing the importance of size and mass in the breed's original function as a gamekeeper's guardian. The body is nearly square in proportion, with the length from the tip of the breastbone to the rear of the thigh only slightly exceeding the height at the withers. The Bullmastiff's head is a defining characteristic of the breed, appearing large and square with a broad skull and well-developed cheeks. The muzzle is short and broad, approximately one-third the length of the entire head, with a pronounced stop between the eyes. The expression is keen, alert, and intelligent, achieved through dark, medium-sized eyes set wide apart. The V-shaped ears are carried close to the cheeks, set high and wide on the skull to create a square appearance. The nose is black with large, broad nostrils, and the dark mask extends up and around the eyes, adding to the breed's distinctive look. The coat is short, dense, and close-lying, providing excellent weather protection for outdoor work. Acceptable colors include red, fawn, and brindle, with the fawn ranging from light brown to reddish-brown and red varying from light red-fawn to dark, rich red. Brindle coats display a striped overlay pattern on the fawn or red base color. A small white spot on the chest is permitted, though other white markings are considered a fault. The tail is set high, strong at the root, and tapers to the hocks. The breed's gait is free, smooth, and powerful, with good reach and drive demonstrating the dog's athletic capability despite its substantial size.

The Mastiff, also known as the English Mastiff, ranks among the largest and most massive dog breeds in the world. Male Mastiffs stand at a minimum of 30 inches at the shoulder and typically weigh between 160 to 230 pounds, with some exceptional individuals exceeding these weights. Females are somewhat smaller, measuring at least 27.5 inches in height and weighing 120 to 170 pounds. The breed presents a powerful, heavy-boned structure with a rectangular body that combines great mass with surprising athleticism. The overall impression is one of grandeur and dignity, befitting a breed that has served as a guardian and companion throughout centuries of human history. The Mastiff's head is massive and broad, contributing significantly to the breed's commanding presence. The skull is broad between the ears with a slightly rounded forehead and a pronounced stop between the eyes. The muzzle is short, broad, and square when viewed from any angle, measuring approximately half the length of the skull. Deep, drooping jowls frame the face, and the lips hang below the lower jaw. The eyes are medium-sized, set wide apart, and brown in color, darker being preferred. Small, V-shaped ears are set high on the skull and lie close to the cheeks. A black mask covers the muzzle, extending up around the eyes and between them, providing a characteristic expression. The Mastiff's coat is short, straight, and close-lying, providing a sleek appearance that highlights the breed's muscular definition. Acceptable colors include fawn, apricot, and brindle, all with the distinctive dark mask. Fawn ranges from light silver to golden yellow, apricot appears as a deeper reddish-gold, and brindle displays dark stripes over a lighter base coat. The chest is wide and deep, extending to the elbows, and the back is muscular and level. The tail is set moderately high, broad at the root, and tapers to the tip, reaching the hocks when the dog is relaxed. Movement should be powerful and effortless, with good reach and drive.
