Ultimate Mastiff History
The Ultimate Mastiff is a recently developed pure-breed mastiff that is the result of breeding an American Bulldog and a Mastino Italiano. The creation of this hybrid began in 2009, when the first American Bulldog and Mastino Italiano were mated. The offspring of this mating, named “Ox” and “Bane”, were the foundation stock for the Ultimate Mastiff. The creation of the Ultimate Mastiff is the brainchild of a group of passionate dog owners, breeders, and enthusiasts. They came together to pool their resources and create this exciting new breed. They named the hybrid after the “Ultimate Fighting Championship”, a popular mixed-martial arts sport.

Ultimate Mastiff Activity Requirements
The Ultimate Mastiff is a large, strong, and athletic breed of dog that originated in ancient Rome. They are sometimes referred to as the Roman Mastiff, and they are one of the few large, ancient breeds that are still in existence. While they are not as high-energy as some other breeds, Ultimate Mastiffs do require regular exercise. They thrive in a home with a yard where they can play and run around. They also benefit from long walks or jogs. Since they are such a large, muscular dog, they can take quite a bit of exercise and they do not tire easily. While they require a certain amount of exercise, Ultimate Mastiffs are not as needy as some other breeds. They are independent, calm, and loyal. They thrive when they are given a job to do.
