Raising With Care

We raise all of our Mastiffs in our home on the farm. They live the ideal life with fresh air and plenty of lands to explore. We also raise them with plenty of affection and social interaction before being placed in a loving forever home.

Being scientists, we understand the importance of genetic testing and conduct genetic and health testing on our breeding dogs to ensure their health and longevity.

We take the extra steps in an effort for you to welcome healthy English Mastiff puppies into your home by breeding tested Sires & Dams.
