Dozer is our second bullmastiff (RIP Tank). He’s about 130/135 depending on the day. I’ve had lots of dogs in my life and bullys are the best. Gentle giants…even with kids. Tank was around when my kids were toddlers and was so so gentle and protective. Great watchdogs. Typically quiet, so if they sound off you should go see what’s up. Not super energetic (after having an American Tundra Shepherd I never want a high energy dog again! Good LORD!). Depending on head size slobbering is not much of an issue (that movie Hooch is not a true representation at all…that is a French Mastiff, but close enough to bullys). Usually it’s only a true issue directly after a drink of water. Funny thing about Dozer is he’s usually walking around with a towel in his mouth. Works for us! Anyways, if you’re at all interested in the big breeds, bullys are pretty awesome animals.

I love these dogs and my neighbor has a couple of them but they are so massive these dogs can hardly walk, bad joints I guess... I know when he loads them up to go to the vet he backs his truck in the ditch and lets them walk on and does the same when unloading them...
