BULL-MASTIFF —An 
English breed, the Bull 
Mastiff was developed 
to catch poachers, and 
later used as a guard and 
watch dog. He combines 
the best qualities of the 
Bulldog and the Mastiff, 
being a dog of great 
strength and activity 
and yet docile and affec- 
tionate to children and 
grown-ups alike. He has 
a short, dense coat and in color is any shade of fawn or brindle, with 
a dark mask. He stands from 25 to 27 inches in height and weighs 
around 115 pounds. 
BOXER — This dog has been a great favorite in Germany for the 
last hundred years. His ancestors 
were probably the bulldog and the 
terrier. He was originally used for 
dogfighting and bullbaiting. The 
Boxer is courageous, aggressive 
when necessary, and devoted to his 
master. In color he is all shades of 
fawn or brindle, often with white 
markings, and with a black mask. 
He is from 22 to 24 inches tall and 
should weigh about 65 pounds.
