          | We have two males pictured here, but normally we would not 
            recommend that.  Males tend to be territorial.  If they 
            should fight, their size and determination will make it next to 
            impossible to separate them and there would be serious 
            injuries.  Normally it would be best to have a male and a 
            female as companions.  Two females can get along.  However 
            if one is more dominent than the other, an intolerance can develop. 
            Sometimes people  will ask how the bullmastiff will get along 
            with the dog they have.  Again sex is important.  A puppy 
            growing up with the cat or the dog that is already owned, will know 
            his family.  Bringing a adult into the family will be more 
            difficult and introduction needs to be carefully supervised. At what 
            age is a bullmastiff considered to be an adult?  At two years 
            old a bullmastiff is considered to be an adult.  They are slow 
            to mature and unfortunately leave us all too soon.  Eight to 
            ten is considered to be old in the bullmastiff 
        breed. |  |
