Our Breeding Practices
Behaviour and socialisation
We encourage different families to come visit at our home to help with socialisation, until they are vaccinated enough to take them out. At 7-8 weeks old, I will take them to their first car ride into our local town, and walk them up the main street so they can socialise. This also helps with lead training. As we…
Health
All pups have the standard vaccination and micro-chipping at 6 weeks, and are wormed every 2 weeks. They vet checked at six weeks, and then again before they leave (if travelling interstate or overseas). Our local vets come to us, to prevent any risk of contamination. We also carry out a number of health tests on our…
Home environment
I'm with them my Tibetan Mastiff puppies 24/7 for the first three weeks of their life. The mums can be so big, and the babies are so little, so we make sure there is a little extra care - I don't leave their side. The pups are whelped inside our family home, especially as they're often born in winter - due to the…

Additional Tests
Temzin Tibetan Mastiff conducts 2 additional tests available for the Tibetan Mastiff.
Physical Test
This is a type of hypothyroidism which can occur in any breed and can be caused by many different things. It is more common in some breeds compared to others, so in these breeds it is recommended that breeding dogs have a blood test to show they have normal thyroid levels at the time of breeding.
Physical Test
An eye certificate means the breeder has had their breeding dogs examined by a veterinary ophthalmologist, to confirm they are not affected by any eye conditions which may be passed down genetically to their puppies. If relevant for the breed, it also includes running DNA tests to confirm the dog is not a genetic carrier of hereditary eye diseases, such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA). It includes breeders who have participated in the Australian Canine Eye Scheme (ACES).

About the Breeder
A little about us
My husband, Tony and I live on a large cattle farm in rural Victoria, Australia after moving here from New Zealand in 1996. We love the magnificent Tibetan Mastiff and the Shiba Inu so much, wouldn't have it any other way!
Why we got involved in breeding
Before leaving NZ, we fell in love with a photo of a big black male Tibetan Mastiff we found in a dog book and after failing to find any breeders in New Zealand we waited until we had moved to Australia to resume our search again. In 1999, we finally found a litter that consisted of two puppies one of which was our…
Our special touch
We are preservation breeders, focusing on preserving the historical dog, but we also are really focused on temperament, and ensuring that we are breeding dogs that can fit into any modern day family home.
