  • Extended Breed Standard of the BULLMASTIFF
    AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL KENNEL COUNCIL LTD ® Extended Breed Standard of THE BULLMASTIFF Compiled by Patricia Quinn on behalf of the National Bullmastiff Breed Council (Australia) in collaboration with the members of The Bullmastiff Club of New South Wales Inc. The Bullmastiff Club of South Australia Inc. The Bullmastiff Club of Victoria Inc. The Bullmastiff Club of Western Australia Inc. and interested parties whose input was directed through these Affiliated Clubs FCI Standard No: 157 Standard and Extensions May 2000 Copyright Australian National Kennel Council Ltd 2000 Country of origin ~ United Kingdom A SHORT HISTORY OF THE BREED The Bullmastiff was intentionally and specifically bred for a purpose. He fulfilled a need of the times — as a guard-dog for the Gamekeeper on the Estates in the English countryside in the 19th century. During the early 19th century the common man in England, mostly poverty stricken and desperate to survive, often turned to poaching on the Estates of the wealthy landed gentry in order to feed a hungry family. For the Gamekeeper in the employ of the gentry, life was difficult and dangerous. Desperate men used desperate means to achieve their aims, and if the night-time murder of a Gamekeeper in the forest insured against arrest (with the possibility of a death sentence or deportation), then so be it. The Gamekeeper needed, as his companion and protector, a large, powerful, brave, loyal and obedient dog to locate, seize and detain the poacher. To this end, various and strange combinations of breeds of dogs were tried, but none proved as effective for the task as the Mastiff and Bulldog cross, later to be known as the Bullmastiff.

    THE BULLMASTIFF BREED INFORMATION BOOKLET MARCH 2008 Why buy a pedigree purebred dog? A Pedigree Pure Bred Dog has parentage that is known AND: ▪ Both parents are of the same breed. ▪ The breed is recognised by the Australian National Kennel Council (ANKC) or one of its Affiliates. ▪ The dog's breeders are registered to breed puppies. ▪ The parents of any puppies are registered with the ANKC or one of its affiliates to be bred from and it has a pedigree showing at least 3 generations of parentage. A Designer Dog is many things including: ▪ A puppy resulting from the deliberate mating of two unrelated breed types. ▪ A puppy resulting from an accidental mating of two different breed types (note these dogs used to be called mongrels or cross breeds). ▪ A puppy resulting from the mating of two cross bred (or designer bred) dogs. ▪ A puppy resulting from the mating of one pedigree or pure bred parent and one cross bred or designer bred dog. ▪ A designer dog has not been bred by a registered breeder. ▪ A designer dog is not pure bred or pedigree. Pedigree Pure Bred VS Designer Dog The Cost Factor Many people believe that pedigree dogs will be out of their price range. You may be pleasantly surprised. Some pedigree breeds cost more than designer or cross bred dogs, some cost considerably less. The amount of money and work that goes into properly raising a litter of puppies does not vary. Most of the expenses that pedigree owners face, breeders of designer breeds don't. These include: ▪ Stud Fees ▪ Importing new blood lines (spending $8,000 - $10,000 to import a dog from the UK would be an average, some dogs cost a lot more).
