We have English Mastiff puppies in the topeka, Kansas city area!!!

[storytimeranch]

We have a planned breeding of our Mastiffs! They are AKC grandsired champions on both sides. They are currently 6 weeks old so won't be ready for another 2 weeks. They will have been wormed 3 times, 2 sets of shots and are all microchipped. There are 5 girls (1 fawn, 2 brindle, 2 apricots) and 3 boys (1 brindle, 1 fawn, 1 apricot). We have strived to meet and exceed AKC breed expectations. They are healthy babies and have received lots of love from us and our kids. They will be well socialized. They will be very large weighing 11 to 12 lbs each at 5 weeks. If you are interested please call or text me at 785-274-7010. Thank you.

Due to people asking for a lower price we have lowered the price to 1100.

You say you "have strived to meet and exceed AKC breed expectations" what did you do to do this?? Did you health test your sire and bitch?? Are they PRA clear at least through parentage?? What about just the general testing of hips, elbows, cmr, etc.???? Did you have any of those tests done?? Do you have a contract for these pups? Are you willing to take them back if the people who "buy" them can't or don't want to keep them??
You say they are "AKC grandsired champions on both sides." Is that suppose to mean something spectacular?? Do you show the Sire or Dam? Are they even show quality??

I'm sorry but you sound like a byb and selling them pups for only $1100 because people asked you to lower the price is ridiculous!!
Just my opinion!!

I lowered the price because it is my right to do so. Yes I have had people ask me to because they then bought one. I sold my first pup to a lady an hour away from me who lived on a farm. Do you show your mastiffs? My family has owned mastiffs for over 40 years. We have black and white photos of them. A show dogs life isn't really all that great. I know because we have shown dogs before. I will never show a dog again. A dog is meant to be a dog. They should play in the pond, roll in the mud and chew on things. What does testing prove anyway? That at the time of testing they were fine but 5 years down the road they can't get up because they have arthritis. Our dogs regularly visit the vet. They get the best care. They get their shots, iverhart and routine exams. We have very healthy dogs.


We raise country dogs and that is exactly what mastiffs should be. They are lazy and loving and deserve a home where they can be what they are meant to be.

We have a genetic health guarantee. Our pups are microchipped to the owner and myself. My vet has kept them on file just in case. If for whatever reason the new owner cannot take care of their pup they have to sign a contract saying that they will give it back no matter the reason.

Yes our dogs are show quality they fit all the AKC standards for a mastiff. Like I said our family has raised them for 40 years. Just because you didn't see it in my post does not mean it wasn't there! The parents are also dna verified. These pups are semper fi bloodlines. No blood lines doesn't mean everything. It does however show genetics and genetics means alot. But as an opinionated mastiff owner you should know that.

Thank you for posting.

Would you not lower the price if it ensured a better home for your pup?

I find it in poor taste that you appear to only have joined the forum to sell your puppies...since you've joined, your threads/posts have only been about your upcoming litter.

The excuses you make to justify not health testing are just that excuses, and extremely poor ones at that. Testing will seriously reduce the amount of hereditary issues that your dogs may carry, and give you an idea of where you want to take the dogs you produce. But some how that isn't important to you. Going to the vet ensures nothing. Then in the next paragraph you talk about the importance of genetics in regards to pedigrees. IMO the health testing should be more important.
As for show dogs not living a very good life? ROTFLMAO! That is funny and proves your lack of knowledge about showing dogs. Show dogs are very well taken care of, loved and are family companions as well as show dogs.
So if you showed your dogs, and they weren't treated well then that is on you.
I show my dog, as do MANY MANY friends, our dogs are the love of our lives and once a week or so the gait around a ring and stand for a judge... Ya I can see how their lives suck....
I agree with others posted above, this is not a forum to just sell puppies.
Especially if you do no testing, showing or any other sport besides make money off the backs of your dogs!

I actually do have plans for them to be tested. Actually you are correct I did pick this forum to advertise my puppies. What better place to advertise puppies than a place where people know the most about them. I think it shows alot about your character that you don't know someone but you attack them. Do you know how well I take care of my dogs? Are you buying a pup from me? Then what business is it of yours what I do with my dogs. I don't think showing dogs is the way of life for a dog. you say they gait around the ring once a week. nevemind the time they spend in the crate. Our dogs have never had a bad life. If you don't agree with what I do! not to sound harsh but who gives a crap what you think. Either you are interested in my pups or not. If you are not then keep your comments to yourself.

I am curious have you tested every single dog you have ever had? I can guarantee the answer is no! Oh boy what did we do when there was no such thing. Did we still breed dogs? Did we still sell them? Relax people these are healthy pups if you are only commenting to be negative then keep your opinions to yourself thank you!

Plans to be tested. The parents should have been tested before the breeding. A lot of good it does to test after the fact.

No testing...? Nothing? Anyways your first post shouldn't be advertisement and show dogs with bad lives??? Really?? I wish I could be some of these show breeders dogs .....

Tapd on my skyrocket

Hate to break it to you, but you've come to the wrong place. The majority of the people on this forum want a puppy from proven parents (either in the show ring or as a working dog) that have been health tested.

We are community who loves mastiffs and we don't take lightly to someone joining the forum for the sole purpose of selling their puppies from untested/unproven parents.

I'm sure they will be adorable, as all puppies are, and I'm not saying you don't take good care of your dogs, I'm just saying that this isn't the place to advertise. People might be a bit more welcoming if you actually take the time to post about other topics besides trying to sell puppies.

 

[storytimeranch]

I appreciate your answer most of all and thank you for not being rude! I want my pups to go to a good home! I stress about it day and night. I honestly would love to have my dogs tested just, not sure about how to do so. We have had them our whole lives and I have never dealt with such rude people ever. Sometimes you catch more flies with honey then you do well you know what I mean! Our pups grand parents and all the way through their bloolines have been tested for hips, and eyes. Thanks again and actually a little caring advice would be helpful.

I have a few thoughts: Your pups are on the ground now, so there is certainly no reason for anyone to keep harping on the health testing. I think it is excellent that you are open to health testing if you can get the information on how to do it! If you would like any suggestions about creating puppy contracts or any other areas, I'm sure people will be glad to contribute.

This is a community of mastiff lovers which offers rich resources to owners and breeders alike, and I hope you might consider expanding your reasons for joining -- becoming an active member. Given your family's long experience with Mastiffs, I am sure you would have a lot to contribute as well as expanding your own knowledge base. If you are interested in doing so, you might want to post a 'proper' introduction in the Introductions, telling us about yourself, your dogs and whatever else you are comfortable sharing -- without mentioning the puppies for sale, which is well documented here.
