ABSTRACT
The Breed History
This particular mastiff breed is first recorded in Britain around 1860. Like the Old English Mastiff (Syn. Mastiff), it is one of many mastiff-type dogs that originated from ancient Asian stock. The cross of 60% English Mastiff with 40% English Bulldog produced this breed. In 1924, the English Kennel Club first recognized Bullmastiffs as a breed, and in 1933-34, the AKC also recognized this breed.
