I just lost my beloved katie the bullmastiff early hours xmas morning aged 6 yrs and 10 monthes with a tumour in her chest that was pressing her heart as is grew. I would eventually love another bullmastiff but would like to know more if this is a common problem in bullmastiffs, any additional info would be greatly appreciated guys, thanks
I am very sorry to hear that you have lost your beloved Katie. All my sympathies are with you with the knowledge that Katie will not suffer any more. Run free Katie, run free as fast as you can. From Malka to malki - and from little Tikva to big Katie. xx
I'm sorry to hear of your loss.There does seem to be more than one type of cancer listed on the Bullmastiff health pages, but I'm sorry to say, this can also apply to quite a few other breeds these days. I have lost a Lurcher with a heart tumour, so even cross breeds can be affected. I can only suggest that if you were to decide on another Bullmastiff, you ask the breeder about the lifespan of the parents and grandparents of the litter. It isn't a guarantee, but could be a guide.
