thread_title:  Temperament 

message: guys, I bred bullmastiffs for 20 years and although I agree with most statements, would like to add how lovely these gentle giants can be. They indeed may be clumsy due to is massive weight but most dogs are also gentle and did great with my toddlers. Any builds?? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Monicasaka (talk • [[Special:Contributions/Monicasaka
Is it Bull Mastiff, Bull mastiff, or Bullmastiff? The article name should match the lead sentence. ~MDD4696 22:22, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Given that the text spells it 'colour', I'll modify the title to fit. If some one would rather it was the other way around, then go ahead.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.238.199.82 (talk) 19:51, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

message: I'm not convinced this breed gets up to 1,000lbs. Until better proof exists (one harnessed and pulling a load of Amish, maybe), I've reduced this by a factor of 10.--Legomancer (talk) 13:20, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Half a ton?! 

message: Which is true? Can the bullmastiff 'rarely show signs of aggression', and also be bred to 'immobilize poachers'? These two statements are contradictory. The AKC website comments on bullmastiffs: 'They needed fearless dogs that would attack on command'. I am not sufficiently knowledgeable to know the facts, but perhaps it would be more accurate to say that bullmastiffs exhibit aggression on command, or something similar.
If, as it appears, it is an English dog, why is it the American Kennel Club standards that are listed? 
Personally, I don't usually worry too much about 'popular culture' sections, even though they are against WKP style. However, the one in this article is particularly poor. It is simply a list of films the the bullmastiff has popped up in, added to a long list of the names of dogs owned by celebrities. This section needs to be remixed with some genuinely interesting/relevant information added, or it should be removed altogether. Centrepull (talk) 07:13, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Give it up.  Every single dog article on Wikipedia contains some variant of "Proud, noble, gentle, brave, godlike" gabble.  There's absolutely no sense in asking for citations, since the number of editors who worship their widdle puppies far outweighs those who retain a shred of objectivity about these smelly slobbering retard-wolves.

thread_title: Popular culture

message: The first picture is NOT a bad representation of the breed.  This dog is a Champion titled dog, by a long time, well known Bullmastiff breeder.  He may be a heavier built dog, as the European standards prefer a bulkier build, however, the AKC standard states that all things being equal, a larger dog is more desirable, and preferred.  A Bullmastiff should not be tall and leggy.  The standard calls for males to be a maximum of 27" at withers.  The back should be slightly shorter,  than height, and level, giving the dog a square appearance.  A Bullmastiff is a "square" breed.  The head should look square, muzzle should look square, body viewed from the side should appear square.  The second picture is a poor representation of the breed, IMO.  This dog looks leggy(although hard to tell as he is lying down), head is not square enough, and too much flew.  He looks too "Mastiffy", to me.  142.239.254.19 (talk) 02:56, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
