"Daniff Breeder"???? Really?

Asshats are every where!! It's sickening. Some of the mastiff pages I am on even encourage it and god help who ever disagrees with them.

I dumped one Mastiff group because there were so many breeding mixed breed Mastiff's and celebrating the planned birth of these puppies. Thankfully, the Great Dane group I am a part of definitely doesn't approve of such. Isn't it bad enough they are mixing breeds like this? But to top it off they are breeding young pups to death?

I have a "designer" (errr MUTT) called a rattle(rat terrier/toy poodle mix). We were told it was accidental as both parents were on site and their only 2 dogs. Seemed believable but shortly after I started hearing all about "designer dogs". This is over 8 yrs ago. I always say she's a mutt as to not advertise for them and take every chance I can to say that she and designer dogs are just products of puppy mill breeders
Also, on craigslist I saw Daniff pups "on sale". The pics posted were a shirtless man awkwardly holding each pup. They advertised the parents as being young and would be large once full grown. So frustrating! But as long as there's a market there will be irresponsible breeding. The only way to combat is to educate. Most people I come across with a designer dog are completely unaware. It is a delicate subject to explain that they supported a puppy mill and has to be gently and respectfully approached. If they do not feel attacked they are open to listening. Most people do not want to support puppy mills so education is definitely key. When people approach me and mama and ask about her tumors and large and disformed teats(?) I take the chance to tell them she came from a place that bred irresponsibly and it seems to hit home to see the conditions of the mothers and not just the cute puppy.

What angers me the most isn't that their mixes. Mixes/crosses are usually healthier (my opinion) than ; not all, purebreds. In fact, a favorite and KNOWLEDGABLE breeder of mine breeds mastiff crosses that are working quality, and absolutely amazing, but he definitely doesn't do it for the look, coat color of the dog, or cash. Actually, all of my favorite mastiff breeders don't breed purebreeds. Obviously, that doesn't work for the show ring, but working dogs are my thing. Haha

What really pisses me off is the obvious money hungry ad.
Daniff is a thing, but I don't think it's a "legit" breed.
It's like a chiweenie.
The other thing is "she usually has x amount of puppies". That poor dog!!!! How many times is she breeding her???? And you definitely should not breed large dogs; or ANY dog, at such a young age!!
The other thing is that she's putting prices on colors.
Either have them all equal prices, or least have a legitimate reason as to why the prices vary.

Disgusting.

We all know that people can't seem to help themselves and are always trying to mix breeds for cash......That isn't new news, however, this morning I was reading in the Great Dane Facebook page and a non member had posted a warning that she had to kick someone out of her https://www.facebook.com/pages/Daniff-English-Mastiff-Great-Dane/186725978157229?fref=tsgroup for breeding a daniff at 8 months and was warning the group that the same person was now looking to get a "pure dane" puppy to use for breeding. First of all, Who gave them the name "daniff"? You are breeding mixed breed dogs! They are DaneXMastiff. Anyway, I followed her link to this facebook page (I really wish I hadn't) Daniff-English Mastiff & Great Dane. Mostly it appears to be a buy a new daniff puppy place. Anyway, looking further I found a "breeder" answering most of the "I want a puppy" posts with her info so I went to her page https://www.facebook.com/kansascitydaniff, she is pumping out puppies left and right and right now is have a discount sale on the new litter she has that isn't old enough to sell yet AND a litter that hasn't been born yet. Sigh.......

I took a few screen shots and am adding them here. Of course no mention of health testing or contracts.

To answer one interested party about how big the dogs are she said " mom is 115 dad He is a skinny 155 when he finishes out he will be 170ish lol" (This was the in reference to the question about Max's weight)




Hello everyone!!!I have wonderful news my daughter is purchasing a home!!! At 18 ,and I need to help so I am offering a SALE on my current puppies.and my next litter.so here is what i am offering.
I usually sell my merles for 700.if u fully prepay this week before sat I will sell male or female merles for 450.
she is breeding right now to tango,she usually has 9 to 11 pups each litter.
if u want a blue merle pup I usually sell them for 800 if u fully prepay now before sat ,i will sell male or female blue merles for 550,i am only offering this to 4 pups two male and two female.

We bred xena to our new boy tango he is a neopolitan great dane or a neodane.he comes from some amazing import lines and his father is a BLUE.this is great as xenas father is a blue brindle.blues are hard to get!!! so we will keep our fingers crossed for blues

It appears that she started her facebook page well after she started breeding but since 09/2014 she has had 5 litters.

Alice is a GDXBM she is expecting puppies now. She was bred to Max who is an English Mastiff that is still young and was not added to this woman's "stock" until April of this year.

Alice was 8 weeks old on June 2014.

I can't even type anymore. I am disgusted and heartbroken.






The whole "let's mix" any frickin' dog breed with another, and call it a designer dog, really makes me sick. Backyard breeders are capitalizing on this right now, and I feel so bad for the pups who have to suffer through their Dr. Frankenstein owner who only cares about putting out a new mutt mixture. What a damned shame.

Junebugg, I'm not sure why same price across the board or legitimate reason for differences in prices should matter. How about a legitimate reason for breeding?

What kind of working dog is your friend breeding in his mixing of mastiff's? I'm
All for a working dog, however, I see people saying "working dog" a lot but rarely is the dog actually working.

I don't want to assume your friend is just another person mixing up temperaments and breeds for the hell of it and the cash so does this friend have website I can see to learn more about what he or she is breeding for?

In the end there are many things wrong with this idiot that is breeding the "Daniff" which by a way is definitely NOT a thing OR a legitimate breed unless of course you mean a thing that dumbasses are doing to line their pockets..then yeah, it's a thing.

She is breeding without any knowledge on how to do so, she is mixing breeds for no purpose, she is mixing breed with short life spans and health issues, she is breeding young dogs, she is calling them a "breed" to make the cash, she isn't health testing...the list goes on and on but why she charges different prices doesn't matter...but she does it because there are enough other dumbasses in this world that will pay for the color they prefer.

I don't understand how there can be so many gullible buyers willing to pay more for a "designer" mix of any sort. Whether it's cutesy "teacup" yorkipoos and chiweenies or bigger badass mixes such as mastweilers and daniffs, it's absolutely horrible foe the breeds involved as well as the individual dogs used and sold. Often people selling these mixes are charging more for a mutt or crossbreed than more legitimate breeders are charging for the individual purebreds that go to make up the mix! (Depending on the breeds involved that is.) Are there that many stupid people here, despite the easily-available plethora of information about responsible ways to buy a puppy, rescue and shelter dogs, etc?

Rhetorical question, I guess. Clearly there are. I don't get it though. I spent an hour or so looking through Hoobly and kijiji dog ads not too long ago and it was pretty horrifying. So many people just using their poor dogs as money-making machines. And apparently, plenty of buyers to keep these morons in business. :mad:

Oh yes. Sorry.
I was at work and didn't have the time to dish out the rest of my list. Hahaha.

I did mean a thing as in dumb.
She's just another backyard breeder thinking she's doing something good and okay, which it definitely is not.

The kennel name is Midgard Mastiffs.
If you look up Neapolitan mastiff on google images one of his dogs; Achilles, is one of the images that comes up, doing protection work.
He was one of the purebreeds he seemed very fond of.

He is nothing like this idiot of a woman.
She has no moral, compassion and obviously doesn't know a thing about genetics.

Humans are terrible.

JuneBugg I visited your friends website and the first thing that bothers me is I don't see any health testing done at all. Am I missing it somewhere? I can't say I am too impresses with what I have seen.
