    How To Find a Dog With a Good Temperament

    Choosing a dog can be both perplexing and exciting. But the one thing we all want to know is how our new dog's character will reveal itself.

    Knowing why a breed was created, and the country and climate it originally came from, can help you understand what to expect in terms of behaviour and character.

    Some breeds require much more attention than others. A breed's true temperament can also require time to develop: the boxer's spirited and extrovert nature means it takes longer to mature than other breeds.

    The puppies of certain breeds can be very hard work in the early weeks but can make wonderful adult dogs.

    There are seven types of dogs:
    • Gun dog
    • Toy dog
    • Utility Dog
    • Hound dog
    • Terrier
    • Working dog
    • Pastoral


Bullmastiff Temperament Personality

Bullmastiff Information

This nearly square breed should be powerful and active — a combination of strength, endurance and alertness. It should appear to be 60 percent mastiff and 40 percent bulldog. Its gait is smooth and powerful, but its angulation is moderate. Its coat is short and dense, and its expression keen and alert. These attributes allowed the bullmastiff to both overtake and over-power intruders.

The mastiff is innately good-natured, calm, easygoing and surprisingly gentle. It is a well-mannered house pet, but it needs sufficient room to stretch out. This is an extremely loyal breed, and though not excessively demonstrative, it is devoted to its family and good with children.
