Welcome to Dogwood Springs Mastiffs
Our small farm provides a natural setting where mastiffs thrive. With wide-open spaces, a variety of animals, and the steady rhythm of country life, our dogs are raised in an environment that brings out both their strength and gentle nature.
A Little About Us…
Located in the hill country of north Mississippi, Mastiffs have enriched our family’s life for 15 years. We only breed our Mastiffs if we believe the outcome will produce excellent quality dogs. We believe the Mastiff should embody power and balance, with heavy bone, a broad chest and the classic broad head for which the breed is known. We do OFA and genetic testing before any breeding occurs. Our Mastiffs are raised in a loving environment where they receive excellent care and early socialization.
What Makes Mastiffs Unique
“What the lion is the the cat, the Mastiff is to the dog.” – Sydenham Edwards, 1800
“The colossal Mastiff belongs to a canine clan as ancient as civilization itself. A massive, heavy-boned dog of courage and prodigious strength, the Mastiff is docile and dignified but also a formidable protector of those they hold dear. For the uninitiated, a face-to-face encounter with these black-masked giants can be startling. A male stands at least 30 inches at the shoulder and can outweigh many a full-grown man. The rectangular body is deep and thickly muscled, covered by a short double coat of fawn, apricot, or brindle stripes. The head is broad and massive, and a wrinkled forehead accentuates an alert, kindly expression. Mastiffs are patient, lovable companions and guardians who take best to gentle training. Eternally loyal Mastiffs are protective of family, and a natural wariness of strangers makes early training and socialization essential. Mastiffs are magnificent pets, but acquiring a powerful giant-breed dog is commitment not to be taken lightly.” Source- AKC.org
