The article is probably correct, but stated poorly. There is a female Bull Mastiff that lives behind me (sweet girl and my male Dingo loves her). The top of her hear is above my elbow (I'm 5'9"). Her back is easily above my belt line. She is one big dog. That male could have easily been four foot from the ground to the top of his back.
Wow. I’m looking at the kennel club data, it says a male bull mastiff is around 25-27” at the withers. This guy’s shooting at one that’s estimated 48” at the back, and you live by one, a female mastiff, that’s more than 36” at the back.
Must be something in the water!
I want what they’re drinking. I’m only 5’1”.
I don’t think there is a bull mastiff that large.
A regular mastiff can be 35-37 inches at the shoulder. I own one of those.
