Sorry to hear about you dogs fighting - I have had bull mastiffs all of my life and have conducted much research on the breed.  The one thing i did learn was no matter how young you introduce bull mastiffs to other dogs, they will most likely never get along.  After months and months of reading and follow ups on the breed - many books stated that bull mastiffs will only get along with its own breed.   They are very protective dogs and they rule there house.  Your lucky that you got to the dogs in time b/c bull mastiffs and other bullie breeds have much different jaw structures than other breeds.  For instance, your husky has a long nose with sharp teeth, the worst it could have done to the mastiff was puncture it which would require stiches, but a bull mastiffs mouth or any dog with a short snout uses its back teeth to take chunks out skin - they can cause a lot of damage to other dogs and even humans.   I know that both dogs are part of the family but if those dogs dont get along - it would be wise to get rid of one of them - otherwise next time you might not be so lucky
