Questions to ask a Bullmastiff Breeder

Please be sure to consult a Licensed Veterinarian for an accurate diagnoses and treatment of your Bullmastiff's elbows.

Elbow Dysplasia is a defect becoming more common in the Bullmastiff breed.  Please note - both Male and Female Bullmastiffs alike can inherit this disorder!  If a Bullmastiff Breeder tells you otherwise - they either are extremely uneducated about the breed and should not be breeding anyway, or are outright lying to you.  This can be a liveable disease depending on the severity.   As an owner of a dysplastic Bullmastiff, please be sure to look at all of your options for treatment and maintenance in order to give your Bullmastiff a comfortable and quality filled life.
