Though we at Mastiff Magic are not breeders, we want to help you find the perfect mastiff puppy to take home. We are enthusiastic about all the variations of the mastiff breed, and we are always thrilled when a mastiff finds a good home. That being said, you should be certain the mastiff puppy you adopt is also coming from a good home.
What about pet stores?
Have you thought about getting your mastiff pup there? If so, please be aware of all the facts. Pet stores (more often than not) get all their dogs from so-called "puppy mills," where dogs are bred as quickly as possible in less than humane conditions. A dog that is born into this environment is prone to sickness and a shorter life span. While it may be tempting to try and rescue these adorable pups, the task may be more than your family is ready to take on. Not to mention that by purchasing from a pet store, you are encouraging and supporting the continuation of these puppy mills.
The better way to find your own mastiff puppy is through a reputable breeder. Of course, not all breeders are created equal; some breeders definitely are better than others. Since buying a mastiff is akin to making a long-term commitment, it is important not to skimp on this vital first step. Do your research, and you could end up with a loyal four-legged friend for years to come.
What should you look for in a breeder?
The best quality in a breeder is a true love of the breed. This passion always shows when you get to talking dogs. A breeder who loves the animal will give it the best possible care, and will even provide support years later, whenever you have questions about your dog. Their highest concern is for the welfare of the dog. That means you will be getting the best quality dog possible.
You should meet your breeder, as well as the mother of the litter, before you agree to purchase one of the babies. Make sure you come prepared with some good research questions to ask the breeder, and a list of things to look for in the mother. You can find some helpful suggestions at the Mastiff Magic website.
Good luck with your search, and make sure to let us know when you find your new mastiff puppy!
