How much does a Bullmastiff puppy cost?
From reputable breeders, expect to pay between $1,500 and $3,500 for a Bullmastiffpuppy in the US — with an average of about $2,500. Location, lineage, and breeder reputation push prices up or down.

Why Bullmastiff puppies cost what they do
Bullmastiff puppies sit in the $1500 to $3500 range for solid reasons—it’s not just about size. These dogs are in the Working Group, built like tanks at 100 to 130 pounds, and breeding them responsibly isn’t cheap. Reputable breeders invest heavily in health testing because the breed is prone to serious issues: hip and elbow dysplasia (so OFA or PennHIP testing is a must), bloat (GDV), cancer, and hypothyroidism. A single round of genetic and structural screening for a breeding pair can cost over $1,000 before a litter is even planned. Whelping large breeds also carries higher risks, sometimes requiring vet oversight or even C-sections, which adds to the cost. Add in quality prenatal care, puppy vaccinations, deworming, and early socialization, and you’re already deep in the red without making a profit. Bullmastiffs rank 51 in popularity—not rare, but not trendy—so supply is limited compared to flashier breeds. That keeps prices steady but not inflated. If you see a Bullmastiff puppy for under $1,200, be wary. That price likely means skipped health tests, poor breeding practices, or a puppy mill. You’ll probably pay more in vet bills down the line. A fair price means you’re paying for a healthier, more stable dog.
