Our Breeding Practices
Behaviour and socialisation
All our puppies are raised on our farm, and trained and socialised with other dogs and families.
Health
I go above most breeders in Victoria - I’m the only one who DNA profile all my dogs and only use clear genetic dogs. All my dogs are also heart and eye tested. I'm also really passionate about the quality of food my dogs eat, and use lentil, barley, rice, vegetables, coconut oil, and human-quality meat.
Home environment
Our pups are in a loving environment all inside when born, fed only the best and our yards are snake proof. They are played with and handled playing with a lot of toys. Our dogs sleep inside overnight.
Included with our puppies
All our puppies include puppy packs which has contract feeding guide, insurance, training guides, micro chip paper work, and handling 24/7 advice as well as collars, leads, food, bedding, toys and training treat and local vet recommendations for future homes.

About the Breeder
A little about us
Hi, I'm Carole from Dragonsaphir! I'm just an everyday person who loves my breed, and love showing my dogs. I'm passionate about breeding, and passionate that all my owners get honest and reliable support throughout their pet's lifetime.
Why we got involved in breeding
I started breeding because I had my brindle-coloured Bullmastiffs, and I wanted to be part of re-educating people that "brindles" can win in the show ring. As I looked to continue these lines, I couldn't find anything I was happy with and that was genetically healthy that I would use myself - I wanted to breed so I…
