So after looking at puppies (unfortunately I’ve decided to hold off on this), I couldn’t find a bull mastiff that looked like Maggie or Daisy.  Finally, after talking with my mother, I found out they were both crossbreeds.  Their mother was a purebred bull mastiff (60% mastiff, 40% bulldog) and their father was a purebred mastiff.  Thus after looking on the internet for this awesome mixture (as you can see by the pictures on my site here, or on my flickr) I found out that they are called Doubull Mastiff’s (80% English Mastiff, 20% English Bulldog).

I was reading that someone said crossbreeding is bad, but I am not going to chalk up their life spans to them being crossbred, but simply something that their mother or father passed along, which could have happened to a purebred.  Anyhow, I enjoyed the look of my doubull mastiffs because while they were bigger than the average bull mastiff (they weighed around 130-140), they weren’t so big that they looked fat or anything as some people have described purebred mastiffs to be.
