#16 Since this dog breed is listed as a dog in Vienna and Vorarlberg and in some parts of Germany (Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Berlin, Brandenburg and Hamburg) as well as in the Swiss cantons of Geneva and Ticino, keeping a Bullmastiff is only possible to a limited extent or under certain conditions.
#17 The Bullmastiff is a relatively large and bulky dog.
Its coat is smooth and short and can come in shades of red, brindle, or fawn. Its physique is very stocky and muscular, and it has a very large, square skull on which sits its V-shaped ears, set high and folded back. His neck is also very muscular, underlining his already imposing appearance. Its broad chest reaches deep between its taut forelegs. His actually smooth forehead is also very characteristic of his appearance, but he creases it as soon as something has aroused his interest.
#18 … owes its great popularity mainly to the breeder S. E. Moseley with his “Farcroft” kennel?
The name of Moseley's famous foundation male was "Farcroft Fildelity". The Bullmastiff was primarily used as a working dog at the time (early 20th century). But Moseley also recognized the potential of the Bullmastiff as a family dog, which is why he began to breed a family and exhibition dog from the pure protection dog.
