GRACIE, mom
Bullmastiff
About GRACIE
Gracie is one of the sweetest, most loving Bullmastiffs that we have had, very loyal and loves kids. She is the guard dog of the house, which is what the Bullmastiff is bred for, always on watch, but once she knows from us that a visitor is safe, she is very accepting and such a ham. Gracie is fun size, very compact, put together well, square, athletic and willing to please.
