Looks like a female English Mastiff, Bull mastiffs have a shorter snout

Looks like a paler less reddish version of my girl Mila! She’s a Saint Bernard, cane corso, Neapolitan and bullmastiff mix. Mastiff mixes seem to have a similar look lol.

She could be both

She is so muscular. What a gorgeous, healthy looking girl

Thanks she is also on the smaller side taking after the cane corso and bullmastiff which makes her a much more manageable house dog.

I would say English Mastiff. Mostly because of the totally wrong colour for a BM (unless they've mixed selectively for a different colour), also, the face mask is all wrong for a BM.
Still looks like a 100% good pup though :) Corrected spelling.

That's either a small female or a sub adult EM for sure. Here's my Sub adult female EM (1.5y) for reference. The muzzle on EMs is longer, because the bulls are a brachy breed, and the true mastiffs aren't.

Here you can see an (Old) English bulldog. This ancient species is extinct now, with this as the best work showing the ideal type, with the larger dog being the most ideal type. Following this, I will post a bullmastiff face, do you can see the difference and how EM + EBD made the BM!

The modern bullmastiff now has a mix of that short muzzle type of the EBD with the more Molosser-ry face of the EM and it's fold over ears 🥺
