Is it normal for a Bullmastiff to shed heavily?
Ann | November 8th, 2009
If having a large dog taking up a lot of space in the apartment is not a bother or if heavy slobbering or drooling is well tolerated, than maybe one should look up on the amount of shedding the Bullmastiff is capable of.
The shedding potential for dogs can be misinterpreted by simply looking at their coats. Some have even derived the formula that long coats equal heavy shedding while the shorter the coats no worries. But this is not the case. Even if the Bullmastiff has an easy-to-care for coat, their short hairs come off when petted or stroked and will stick to your hands.
These hairs are also infamous for sticking to carpets, clothing and even curtains. There are many good things about the Bullmastiff but prospective owners who may have allergies to dander, may want to look to other breeds unless the adoration for this breed is overwhelming.
What changes after a Bullmastiff is neutered?

Some dog owners think that neutering is a responsible way of controlling the unwanted birth of puppies that would not be cared for or abandoned, leading to overpopulation. Although neutering is a surgical method, scientific breakthroughs have brought about the chemical, Neutersol, which is injected into the dog.
Owners of Bullmastiff often wonder what effects of neutering will have on their dogs. Nothing drastic will happen to the breed and they will continue to have their personality, courageousness and love towards their family but will have an elimination or decrease of some of the following: marking of territory via urine, aggression towards other male dogs, sexual mounting during heat season and dominance to challenge owner’s commands. After the procedure, males would not get agitated when sensing the pheromones and will have more focus on the owner due to less distraction. Females would have protection against uterine infections and false pregnancies. Chances for breast cancer are also decreased.
