Bull Mastiff, Bull Terrier: Personality & Health Issues
Bull Mastiff:
The Bullmastiff lives an average of 12 years, which is somewhat longer than the life span of the Mastiff.  It has the reputation for good health and stamina.  Brush the Bullmastiff's coat for 15 minutes every day, and clean the folds of its skin with a cotton swab dipped in a solution of warm water and bicarbonate of soda.  If the dog lives indoors, a bath every three months is usually sufficient.  However, if the dog is active in the countryside, more frequent baths may be required.  Give your Bullmastiff a moderate amount of exercise, but do not tire the dog unduly.  Rated the best guard dog.

Bull Terrier:
Your Bull Terrier must be groomed every day, using a brush with medium hard bristles.  Every other day, rub the dog down with a horsehair glove to shine its coat.  It may need a bath every month if it lives outdoors, but probably no more often than every three months if it lives indoors.  A hardy, athletic animal, rarely ill, the Bull Terrier nevertheless needs long walks to maintain physical fitness and an even temperament.
