I finally decided, now I need a breeder :)

Hi everyone! I have been on the fence of which breed of mastiff to add to my family, but after seeing an EM today, I am hooked! So I had a few breeders in mind, but I wanted to know your advice or suggestions on a reputable breeder. I live in Colorado currently, but I will be in Nevada shortly. If there are breeders in these areas, I would prefer but, I will happily go anywhere for a quality pup! Thank you everyone for any help you can give!

Congratulations on choosing a great breed . I just wanted to ay to take your time and follow your heart when looking for a breeder. I had been looking for a while and talked to several people and saw sooo many beautiful puppies but when I found my breeder he was no doubt the right one, I cant really explain it but I just knew that she was the puppy for me and he was the breeder for me.

Thank you! Its so hard finding a breeder. This is my first time getting a dog from a reputable breeder, so I am a little lost. I usually rescue my dogs from a shelter or get them from friends/neighbors litters.

Sissie, just curious but why fortress mastiffs? They aren't in the OP's area.

No worries we all have been there, the most important thing is to take your time and find someone you trust. Like Minismom mentioned above. Good luck!

We've got a couple threads around here on reputable breeders, and how to tell a good breeder from a bad one. We all have our differing opinions, but there are some things that remain the same. A good breeder cares, will back you up, and help you, and if all else fails and you decide he's not the dog for you will take the pup back cause they'd rather have to support the extra mouth than have one of their pups end up in a shelter. A good breeder has done their health testing, and KNOWS the health status of the pup's parents, and as many of the grands and great grands as possible.
