Bullmastiff Rearing
|
Bullmastiffs are
truly a hoot to
rear. This
section of our
bullmastiff area we
really encourage
people to digest the
information
presented herein,
and also the
bullmastiff training
section too.
Bullmastiffs in our
experience are a
world entirely
different to any
breed we have
encountered, as will
your experience be.
Given their nature
bullmastiffs are a
VERY inquisitive
breed from puppy
through adulthood.
Therefore, we will
share our
experiences and pass
on rock solid advice
regarding your new
bullmastiff puppy in
it's early stage of
development.
Bullmastiffs can be whelped
naturally, but sometimes
they need a little help via
c-section. They have fat
little heads that can become
stuck and for the safety of
the female and the pups you
would take this course of
action. A veterinarian should be
notified and kept on standby
in case of any trouble.
Pups are with the dam until
at least 6 weeks. This helps
build immunities through
milk to the pups. At about 4
weeks soft food, actually
mush can be introduced. No
worries if they are not
eating well at first they
will catch on. Mom is still
helping out also.
Between 4 and 6 weeks food
is given with less and less
water and moist dry is
introduced. We use
Canidae
dry for all life stages.
Canidae has all a growing
puppy needs, with NO FILLERS.
This ensures your
bullmastiff pup, or dog is
getting the REAL nutrition
it needs. They can be fed
Canidae all life stages
their whole life. We do like
to mix a little 0% fat plain
yogurt in to the mix. These
are good
enzymes for a healthy tummy.

Parasites and Vaccinations
All puppies have roundworms.
Worming is completed at 2, 4,
and 6
weeks of age. At 7 weeks, a fecal
will be
checked, and your pups 1st vaccinations at the vet
will be completed. The Vet will check the
heart, ears, teeth and body
at this time as well.
Clean bill of health and all
ready for new homes at 8
weeks. When bringing a
new bullmastiff
puppy to your home,
be sure to check
that no existing
parasites are in
your home or
property, as the
puppy will be
susceptible to
these. Most
people are unaware
that humans can
bring and take
parasites to other
areas after being
exposed to them.
Have your pets
checked regularly at
your local
veterinarian clinic
to ensure your
bullmastiff puppy,
dog stays healthy! |

Your Bullmastiff Puppy's
First Year!
What fun are you
going to partake? We
STRONGLY encourage
you to continue on
to our
Bullmastiff Training
section when you
complete this
section.
During the first couple of
months your puppy will be
getting used to toilet
training, routines, what is
acceptable and what is not,
and the INEVITABLE
... let me see what
this tastes like and
can I eat it. Puppy training class at the
age of 12 - 16 weeks should
be started. The puppy
should not be allowed to run
up and down stairs, jump off
decks, or a lot of rough
play. These things can
damage growing bones. Short
walks on a leash will be
sufficient. Bullmastiffs
keep growing past the age of
1 year so care has be taken
to ensuring a solid
structure of the
bullmastiff and a
great bill of health.
Puppies want to play
and play is ok as
long as it doesn't
involve extensive
running (more than a
few minutes),
jumping up and down
on the hind legs,
and excessive
exposure to heat!
I recommend altering
(spay/neuter) at the
age of 8 months
(before first
season) for females
and 1 year for
males.
