Bullmastiff and a Boxer living together?

[jeffbotteril]

Just a quick update - now have 4 mth old Bullmastiff bitch. She is wonderful and gets on superbly with Charlie the boxer.

I thought he was a happy dog before but he is in heaven having a playmate now.

They make a great pair. Thanks for all thoughts and comments - very helpful.

Congrats on you new puppy You'll have to post pics of her. I know when we got Lola our older dog was like a pup again and it made us feel a tad guilty for not getting another dog sooner. I can't imagine having only one dog now.
Whats her name btw?

Der hadn't clicked on the photo bucket link, lovely pics

Tks Tracey.

The bullmastiff girl was called 'Bucky' by my boys. She has got a lovely laid back temperament which compliments Charlie's rather more boisterous boxer behaviour very well.

I don't think I could go back to one dog again but its early days yet, lol.

She is even getting on with the lady cat after a few days.

Have added a few rather more interesting photos just now, hope you enjoy them.

I so love the picture of the three boys sleeping with Charlie. That could win a photo contest. You have a lovely family. I am glad all is well with the new addition.

I agree with everybody. Bucky has the cutest face, your family photo with kids and dogs is just beautiful, and Ellen, I wonder how DO you manage?

How is everything going with the bullmastiff and boxer co-existing? We too were thinking of adding a bullmastiff to the mix. We had 2 bullmastiffs in the past, but now own a 7 month old boxer. The breeder we got our other bullmastiffs from will be trying to re-home our female's granddaughter, who will be 4 in the fall. We were thinking of taking her in but we weren't sure if she would tolerate our crazy boxer puppy!

Well my two get on wonderfully, with no problems to date.

But I suppose bringing in an older 4 year old Bully with a younger boxer will be a case of just try it and see how they get along.

If the breeder will let you have a trial period, then that could be useful.

Best of luck with whatever you decide, Bully's and Boxers are both great dogs.

Thanks vm Ariki for the comment. When I get some spare time will update the pictures.
