Our Breeding Practices
Behaviour and socialisation
Our puppies are reared inside and are socialised around us, with our visitors and other dogs and cats in the home. We are on a busy farm with horses and ponies, tractors and lawnmowers, so our puppies are well-adjusted to this type of environment. We advise all new owners to go to puppy school and do obedience…
Health
Our breeding dogs are fully DNA profiled, hip and elbow scored. We regularly vet check and our puppies are microchipped, vaccinated, flea/tick treated and desexed (males are vasectomised). We feed a diet of premium Royal Canin.
Home environment
We live on a farm but do not have outdoor kennels. We have a dedicated whelping box set up under heat lamps inside the home, where our puppies remain for the first two weeks. We have special puppy yards and a large backyard set up outside, where our puppies and dogs can play during the day. All our dogs sleep…
Included with our puppies
We provide a Royal Canin bag containing dried food, information, toys and blanket. We can also supply full vet health check records, parent DNA profiles and health test scores. We include full membership to the Bullmastiff Club Victoria (BMCV) along with 24hour support and rehoming policy, if ever needed.
