The Bullmastiff Manual (The World of Dogs)
Bred for strength and as an ally of the gamekeeper in his war against poachers, fiercely loyal to its family yet with a loving and kind temperament, the Bullmastiff is truly a 'gentle giant'. As one of the largest and heaviest dogs in the world, naturally a fearless protector, the Bullmastiff needs to be understood, treated and trained properly. In return it will give its owner many years of loyalty, love, protection, warmth and affection.Bill Walkey is especially qualified to write about this impressive dog. He has bred 36 champions under the Shayla prefix, has been Breeder of the Year four times and bred the only Bullmastiff to win both the Canadian and the American National Specialty Shows. This is also the only Canadian dog to with the ABA Specialty (National). Bill has judged in Britian, Denmark, Malta, the United States and Canada, and is one of the judges for the Specialty Show in Finland in 1999.
