Past Breedings at Brodancroft

Past Breedings

We do not breed often. When we do, litters are very carefully planned in an effort to produce Mastiffs of excellent temperament, breed type, and health. We cannot stress enough the equal importance of these three elements.

Beautiful, healthy, great-tempered dogs do not happen by accident. A great deal of consideration goes into our litters. We study the ancestors in our dogs' pedigrees, as well as the history of the breed as a whole. No expense is spared and we utilize full health testing as well as common sense as tools to produce healthy, typey dogs. Great care and endless hours are taken to raise our puppies into well-adjusted Mastiffs who will serve as ambassadors of our breed. The goal of any good breeding program is not the production of puppies for sale, but rather the preservation of the breed in its best possible form to carry on into the future.

After all the love and effort that we pour into our babies, if we have any available Mastiffs, we will place them only in highly qualified, loving homes where they will be a central member of the family.

Violet had a litter on January 28, 2006!

There are no puppies available from this litter.

The puppies are pictured above at 4 days of age.

Science tells us that 65% of a dog's temperament is formed by environmental factors which begin as early as the first days of life. For more information about raising quick-learning puppies with stable "bombproof" temperaments, see http://www.breedingbetterdogs.com/achiever.html .
