Is it normal for a Bullmastiff to shed heavily?
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.
