Adopting a Bullmastiff

Frequently asked questions about acquiring an Bullmastiff - the pros and cons of adopting versus going through a breeder, and associated costs.

You can adopt a Bullmastiff at a much lower cost than buying one from a breeder. The cost to adopt a Bullmastiff is around $100 to $500 or more in order to cover the expenses of caring for the dog before adoption. These fees usually cover expenses such as vaccinations, spaying or neutering, microchipping, and any necessary medical treatments or surgeries.

In contrast, buying a Bullmastiff puppy from a breeder can be prohibitively expensive. A pet-quality Bullmastiff puppy from a reputable breeder usually costs anywhere from $1,000 to $3,000 or more.

The easiest way to adopt a Bullmastiff is through a rescue that specializes in Bullmastiffs. A great place to start is starting a breed search on Adopt a Pet. The search will show you all the available Bullmastiffs and Bullmastiff mixes in your area.

Bullmastiff fun facts

Fun Facts:

The Bullmastiff was originally used as a gamekeeper's assistant. Gamekeepers (estate guardians) were hired to oversee the game on massive estates, and Bullmastiffs were used to track and tackle the poachers.

Oil tycoon John. D. Rockefeller is to thank for importing Bullmastiffs to the United States in the 1920s.

Bullmastiffs were trained not to bark or bite, so their reputation as vicious attack dogs are complete falsehoods. They were trained to be able to quietly track and hold down poachers.
