Mountain Pride Mastiffs
Both Parents on site & all our dogs & puppies are raised as a part of our family & around children. (some of our co-own mastiffs may not reside in our home, but are available to meet, we feel its very important to be able to meet both parents) & our pups are only available to approved indoor homes only. Any outside stud used will be listed under the upcoming breeding's.
~Several of our new puppy owners have come to find, mastiffs are like potato chips.........you can't have just one! {most of our puppy owners own 2 babies from us, on waiting for their 2nd or 3rd and our first family got their 3rd & 4th Oct 2012!
{We feel its important to also add photos of our dogs daily lives. After all they are like our furry kids & VERY loved & spoiled......ask anyone that knows us even our vets are available as reference} Our dogs are like family & we expect the same home environment & love for any of our puppies. We will NOT place out puppies to anyone planning to raise or keep them outside!

Sarge & Skye
About Us We are located in Reynoldsburg, OH on the outer city skirts. I have worked with rescues & volunteer work since I was in high school at the age of 16 through current, breeding since 2008 & starting a few shows in 2011 through current. We officially have our first AKC champion in 2015 CH Mountain Prides Tennessee Titan (also known from some breeders that slander my name as my aggressive dog because he barked at other dogs at shows......likely didn't like their owners rather than the dog lol he was never booted from a show so was not aggressive). Showing is a hobby and something I do to get away and have fun or one on one time with my dogs. We are unable to attend many shows due to our busy household & its for fun not rankings. Owner handler since April 2015 & even handled myself at Nationals with Sarge as my 3rd time in the ring!
Into the 2013 year we have made tons of changes from our pedigrees, health testing's & showing, so we no longer take in rescues at this time do to our busy schedules & already full household. (we do know several good rescues that may be able to help if your looking for help in placing a mastiff or looking to adopt) . We also still have several potential homes either who have adopted from us in the past or referred to us looking to add an older trained mastiff to their family (feel free to send information about the dog, photos & your contact info and we can share on our facebook to help find the best home for your baby). We still do volunteer work with rescues as well as transport overnights when possible, or needed.
We are proud to share, we have several referrals from our previous buyers. Over 93% of our pups are in pet only homes. Although we didn't start out with the best of pedigree's, our pups have always had great temperaments, easily trained & most importantly............. healthy! All our dogs & puppies are raised indoors as apart of our family. We owned 2 sisters out of our first breeding that were retired at 3yrs old to retire their lines & live out their life as lazy companions. All our dogs have amazing temperaments & love meeting new people. Most of our pups are on a group we made on facebook (link on top right corner of every page, you will be added if you have purchased a pup from us only as its not an open mastiff group like most). See photos & updates of your new puppy's siblings/cousins, compare weights, foods, training techniques etc.
I am very proud of the progress I have made over the years & continue to progress as the years go by. Our Pedigrees include Greiner Hall, Achates, Lazarus, Lazy D, Tamarack & some Old School Mastiffs, just to list a few. I believe in being 110% honest to my new owners, previous owners and future owners of our puppies. So I am making this forum that has false accusations & lies available on my website. It was already posted on my puppy group on facebook a few years ago, and seems to bring up concerns from time to time. So to clarify everything I am adding it to my website, so feel free to ask "any" questions! Back in 2008 when we had our first litter, it was simply 2 AKC dogs bred together so we could keep a puppy. We ended up raising 2 because one returned to us at a year and a half old. We've always taken our babies back and even rescues when a home doesn't work out. I lacked knowledge in everything from pedigree's, pairing up 2 dogs to better the breed to not knowing about health testing's available, etc. (I was in my early 20's). I took my dogs to the vets 1-2 times a year and they were healthy. I was never offered any help or guidance (although a few will say they offered help, they slandered verse educated, can clearly see how they slander other breeders daily or their rude comments on facebook when newbies ask questions which is a HUGE issue in our breed). I was slandered and since then have stories floating around and breeders going out of their way to tell others to stay away from me via private message on facebook (even my puppy owners have received PM from these breeders!). So verse taking legal action & taking money away from my family both human and K9, I decided how I started "is what made me today" & I'm not ashamed for not being perfect. A red flag to me is a judgmental breeder, out slandering other breeders verse trying to make a difference (they claim they do, but then result to slander so to me that's not really trying to better the breed). A true breeder to me is someone that not only puts all their effort into their own breeding but also making the effort to educate others & new breeders along the way "no matter their differences" (one particular breeder only has issues with me because I spoke out on their facebook when slandering another breeder.....I DON'T do bullies!!). I truly believe my path was chosen from the start to help make a difference with new breeders to come (so if your new don't ever hesitate to ask for help or advice from someone who has been there) . I would hope anyone with concerns or questions would direct those questions directly to the person in question, after all I suppose if it's on the internet it must be true. We have several owners that are like family to us and our amazing vets as reference. Come meet us, talk to us and make your own judgement, don't let someone judge for you we are inviting you to our home with absolutely NO obligation to buy a puppy from us. There is also a rumor that spread around I bred a rescue 5 times, well within 2 months that rumor went from 5 to 6 from the same person & I have several screen shots off facebook messages from this "breeder" to prove this. To this date March 2016 we have only had "1" female, "Lilly" retired at 5yrs old that had 4 breeding's (one litter wasn't even in my name as the breeder but we took her in that first breeding and raised her litter) per MCOA rules whether we are in the club or not, Cheeka my retired female had her "3rd" breeding (summer 2015, was spayed shortly after whelping her litter and is our retired couch potato), and our other females have only had 1-2 litters. This can be proven via my AKC account with screen shots. None of our females will EVER have more than 4 breeding's if even that. We retired our perfectly healthy girl after 1 litter simply because the c-section was very hard on her. So with that said I hope you get to know us before believing everything you hear online. I am more than willing to answer any questions even the couple owners that have purchased from us with complaints on there, just ask (EX one mad because I wouldn't bring her puppy to PA free while 2 others were paying us to travel the 12hr round trip lol so since they offered to pay to meet them 1/2 way she shouldnt have to pay because we decided to take extra money out and rent a reliable vehicle and stay the weekend.......seriously ask before believing anything you see online). If you are the type of person who believes everything you see on the internet, then we are not the breeder for you. Here in a link to the forum about me HERE
Aside from that.......... Our main goal is producing loyal healthy companions that meet breed standard while improving the breed as we learn more & grow daily. I've personally have had to learn a lot over the years alone, mastiff world here in OH hasn't been very welcoming to me until mid 2015. I am also happy to say I have met a few great mentors along the way and continue to gain more knowledge along my journey of growing, sadly a lot of help has been outside my breed. We have never just re-homed one of our dogs simply because they are not able to breed, we have placed a couple within families so they could have a well trained healthy loyal companion (sometimes having a big household, not every dog is going to get along, we didn't even breed a female we have placed.......our #1 concern is that our dogs live normal companion pet lives aside from their breeding, showing, etc).
Please feel free to call or e-mail me with any questions If we don't have what your are looking for, a question we may not know the answer to...... we know several other reputable breeders. I am always available for advice to the best of my ability.
