Is the Bullmastiff good with children?
Most Bullmastiffs are good with children if they are brought up with children and common sense is used. Never forget that while not an aggressive dog, the Bullmastiff is a protective dog. The Bullmastiff will want to protect your child, and if it fears your child is in danger, may react. If other children are over and are running, screaming and punching each other, which children often do, the dog may not be able to distinguish whether those actions are serious or not, and if it feels they are serious, may try to interfere. The Bullmastiff should never be left unsupervised with other children. And the dominant puppy in a Bullmastiff litter should never be placed in a home with children.
