Pitbull Mastiff Mix is a cross of a Pitbull and a Mastiff, also known as Pit Mastiff or American Masti-Bull. They are relatively large, as a result of being a mastiff mix, around 25 to 29 inches. The lifespan of a Mastiff Pitbull mix is between 8 to 12 years.

The Pitbull Mastiff also goes by these other names as:

• Bullmastiff Pitbull Mix

I have over 30 years experience with these breeds and I can tell you different. First off, the variety of Pits being crossed with Mastiffs and most of them the UKC wouldn't even register as pits, already have a variety of mastiff breeds in them thanks to the ADBA. That being said, you can find a Pit just as lazy and sweet as an English Mastiff or Bullmastiff and you're just going to get a big lazy house dog that may or may not drool all over the place. As far as someone breeding a 50 lb red nose with an English Mastiff, I don't see it happening and even if it did Swinford proved along time ago that you don't get a dog as good as either. Now if that 50lb red nose happens to be from game lines and studs a French Mastiff, then you just may have a serious problem. Prey drive through the roof and man agression with huge head are not a good combination. I seen someone try this with a French Mastiff and a Rottweiler and rank agression in a stubborn mastiff is no picnic.
