please ask lots of questions, the MCOA site has a list of questions you should ask a breeder before purchasing a puppy. Please read them and ask.

It is about the Mastiff and breeding good quality dogs sure you can find a cheap puppy any where.  But are you ready for the heart ache of health problems, temperament issues.

I am sorry if I sound like a broken record I just love these dogs with all my heart and it breaks my heart to see what people are doing to the breed to make a buck

None available at this time

Please if you are looking for a Mastiff educate yourself on the expense involved in having a giant breed! Then educate yourself on where you purchase your puppy.  Please do not purchase a puppy from the back of a truck, a pet store, back yard breeder or a puppy broker.  These may appear less expensive to you in the beginning but health issues will lead to vet bills or putting the dog down. 

Don't think you are rescuing this puppy from a poor situation what you are doing is supporting that person to breed again and again. 

PAY NOW FOR QUALITY AND HEALTH OR PAY LATER WITH VET BILLS AND HEART ACHE

For piece of mind buy from a reputable breeder.  They will give you a health guarantee, show you proof of health testing on their breeding dogs and breed based on genetically healthy dogs with stable temperaments.  A 230 pound dog that has temperament issues is not a good thing!

If I do not have a puppy available for you I will refer you to a great breeder that may have a puppy available.

I was websurfering and I am so amazed at the website sites I found and what they claim I wanted to give you some ideas on how to weed through the BS

These are breeders to avoid!

1-If they only show pictures and health testing of dogs in their pedigrees not their own dogs or are the dogs on their web page even their dogs

2-They do not offer health guarantees

3-They do not screen you as much as you screen them

4-They breed the girls before age of 2 and they breed every cycle

5-Ask them why they breed if it is for money run

6- AKC registered in itself does not mean they are great dogs

7- Continental registration is nothing you can buy that registry on any dog even a mutt 

8-Look at the parents compare to reputable breeders dogs they should look like Mastiffs not labs or danes.

ASK questions

1.  Are the parents proven to be clear of the genetic problems? Have the suggested tests been performed on the parents? What is the breadth of the testing - just the parents? older siblings? grandparents? aunts & uncles?
2.  How old is the dam? How many times has she been bred? How far apart were the breedings?
3.  Why did the choose the stud dog? What traits were you looking for? What was the purpose of this breeding? What improvements were they after? Are you planning on keeping a puppy from this litter? If not, why not?
4.  What faults do the dam and sire have?
5.  What breed clubs do the you belong to?
6.  Have the dam and sire been shown? 
7.  What are the living conditions of the dogs? 
8.  What steps have taken to socialize the pups? Are they used to children? Other dogs? Other animals? Public places with lots of people?
9.  What are the pups being fed? Are they being given supplements?
10.  What are the terms of your contract? What guarantees do you offer?
 
PLEASE BE CAUTIOUS SUPPORTING POOR BREEDERS HURT NOT ONLY YOU AS PUPPY BUYERS BUT THE REPUTATION OF THE MASTIFFS WITH TODAYS ANIMAL RIGHT ACTIVISTS THEY ARE LOOKING FOR REASONS TO STOP ALL BREEDERS AND IF BAD DOGS GET THE ATTENTION WITH POOR TEMPERAMENTS THAT CAN HURT SOMEONE WE MAY SOMEDAY LOOSE OUR RIGHT TO OWN THESE MAGNIFICIENT DOGS
 

Thank you
