My name is Rolissa Nash and I have been breeding Bullmastiffs for the past
?? years, working to build our lines up to
what they are now. Breeding is a family tradition and love. My family helps with
the whelping of puppies and the raising and training of breeding potential
puppies. Bullmastiff puppies are
fed and socialized by our entire family. Puppies around here start with early
training and socialization to ensure you have a happy healthy puppy.
Breeding is an art and our lines are changing and developing as we try to produce the ultimate dog. The dogs we strive to produce here at 1MajesticBullmastiffs are quality dogs. Though they have the endurance and workability, our dogs love to be part of a family, and make excellent family companions and friends. All of our puppies are sold as American Kennel Club registered Bullmastiffs. We enjoy dogs that are powerful, with nice deep colours, and are a substantial size. The temperament of the dogs is most important, as many go for pets, and many also go to working homes and need to be stable enough to handle the challenge and stress of being worked.
All of our dogs come in the house and are housebroken and obedience trained. None of them are strictly kennel dogs, as they are our friends and companions first, and breeding dogs second. We try to get our dogs involved with different areas of work such as obedience. Our dogs all have their hips and elbows x-rayed before they are bred. We screen our primary breeding dogs and randomly screen a few puppies from each litter for eye disorders. Dogs are carefully screened to have sound body structure, and a good, solid working temperament. We are on our third and fourth generations of some of our bloodlines, and have seen a very consistent type of Bullmastiff emerge from our kennel.
The foundation female of our current bloodlines is
We can e-mail your some pedigrees on various dogs in our breeding program. I hope you will enjoy reading through them and researching some of our bloodlines that we use. We have attempted to make sure that all pedigrees are true and accurate according to our records.
Puppies have arrived from the following litters:
Upcoming litters:
Puppies are usually available, or a litter will be coming shortly. Reservations are recommended on the litters, both before they are born, and before puppies are ready to go to their new homes. This allows people greater selection in a litter. We have only a couple of breeding females and one stud dog. Our bitches are in our home where they can be in a normal family environment. They are usually breed for only one or two litters, and then are usually retired. People that buy dogs long distance are given pictures and pedigrees on the parents and the puppies. We pick the puppies for them, based on what they are looking for, and what their lifestyle is like. Shipping by air is available worldwide.
Puppies are born in one of our special whelping rooms on a bed of cedar wood chips. Moms are encouraged to clean off their puppies themselves, and we try to get puppies nursing as fast as possible. Pups are introduced to a weaning puppy mash at three and a half weeks of age, and by six weeks of age are weaned from their mothers. The moms still go in to play with the pups and to teach them good inter-dog skills. Puppies are socialized with a wide variety of stimulants; including new environments, new sounds, and different ages and types of people including small children. We often have a radio playing for the pups to hear different music and talking. We give them different toys to play with, and work on good manners like not jumping up, mouthing gently, and how to play nicely with people. Many of them retrieve at a very early age, such as five weeks old.
All our puppies have a five day health guarantee for contagious diseases when you pick them up. Puppies have been dewormed three times, vet checked, tattooed, and given their first vaccinations prior to leaving our kennel for their new homes. We give out an information booklet talking about nutrition, crate training, housebreaking, visiting the veterinarian, safe chew toys, obedience training, and introduction to other dogs and other animals. There is also a pedigree, an agreement of purchase and sale, a AKC non-breeding agreement, and a health record on your puppy. We give you hints for raising and training your puppy. We recommend that everyone does obedience classes with the puppy, for the benefit of socialization with other dogs and with people that classes provide.
Pet puppies, dogs that are not bought for breeding purposes are to be spayed or neutered by the time they are a year old. We do not believe that pet puppies are any lesser quality than the breeding/working puppies, but rather that puppies are bought for different purposes. A companion dog in a home with several small children is going to be a different choice for someone than a dog bought for protection or security. People are allowed to pick the puppy that they think is best for them, with our guidance. After puppies go home, we try to contact owners to see how they are doing over the first few weeks and months, and then approximately once a year. This may be by email, phone, or letter. We do our best to stay in contact with our puppy owners after they buy a puppy from us, and love to get updates and pictures on pups as they grow up. Of course having a pup come back for a visit is a special bonus!
Puppies have a guarantee for hip dysplasia. This is a two year guarantee, as hips can be x-rayed preliminarily at the age of 6 - 12 months and certified at 20 - 24 months. I try to get all of my puppy owners to get their pup's hips x-rayed, even if the dog is a pet. This gives me valuable information on the genetic incidence of hip dysplasia in our bloodlines. Puppies are also guaranteed for genetic diseases, providing there is proof of a genetic origin as diagnosed by a qualified specialist. Our lines have been very clear; we have not had any puppies with allergies, heart problems, thyroid problems, epilepsy, or any eye disorders or conditions. Our incidence of hip dysplasia is less than 5%. Elbow and other orthopedic problems are also covered in this part of the guarantee.
Temperament is also guaranteed, providing you have successfully completed a basic obedience course and have shown a good intention of trying to train your dog and understand it. We strive for a very good temperament, not necessarily just "high drive." A strong steady working temperament is very important so that a dog can handle the stresses of being heavily worked and this is something that I have worked very hard for in my pups. Puppies bought for specific working purposes are guaranteed to live up to the expectations, within reason, as the development, socialization, and training of the dog will affect how that puppy grows up.
We encourage people to come down to the kennel by appointment for interviews and to meet the dogs. There is no obligation to buy. We evaluate their potential home based on their work schedules, what they do in their leisure time, their activity level, and their previous experience. We ask important questions like why they want the dog, where the dog will live, and if they have a fenced yard. We also ask what their home environment is like, and what training they plan to do with the pup. We try to recommend a obedience training school in their area. Long distance buyers are asked for a letter of introduction about themselves, and sometimes for references.
