I'm the breeder behind Folly's Bullmastiffs located in Girard, OH. Important information for anyone considering a bullmastiff puppy. Please make sure, regardless of where you get your pup, that both parents are echo clear of SAS heart disease. Only 30% of bullmastiffs are echo clear. Look for OFA Advanced Cardiac clearance on both parents.
About Tina
I was a stay at home mom for 23 years. Once the children were grown I was able to research and find the perfect breed for our family. In the past nine years this has been my passion and focus.
What makes Tina’s program special
Health and temperament. Those two go hand in hand. I don't allow my stud dog to be used if the bitch hasn't been tested, and I advocate CHIC numbers for all breeding dogs.
Tina is a member of 2 clubs
American Bullmastiff Association, Delaware Valley Bullmastiff Association

If Tina offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don’t hesitate to reach out to Tina directly.
I stay with the puppies 24/7 for the first three weeks. During that time I do early neurological stimulation, change textures in the whelping box, create sloped walls to encourage good hip formation. As their eyes and ears open so does everything else in their world. Much like Puppy Culture, I utilize all of their senses and expose them to as much as I can. I believe in meeting 100 people before they're 8 weeks old. I take them on road trips, they are crate trained, we do umbrellas, wheelchairs, lawn equipment, pots and pans, etc. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Potty Training, Crate Training, Puppy Culture , Car Training , Human Interactions , Litter Box Trained, Noise desensitization, We begin potty training along with crate training & believe the two go hand in hand., Socialized with Adult Dogs, Socialized with Children, Household Desensitization, Early Neurological Stimulation, Grooming Desensitization, Structures, e.g. Climbing, Strangers, Noises , and Socializing the dog with everything is the key to a stable dog.
Puppies are vet checked and microchipped before they leave. I follow Dr. Jean Dodds Vaccination Protocol for Dogs. All puppies are dewormed.
We send our puppies home with AKC Registration, Food Starter Bag, Microchip, Certificate of Health, Puppy Starter Kit, Toy with Littermates' Scent, Toy with Mom's Scent, and Vaccinations.
Tina offers options to help you easily get your new puppy home.
If you’re nearby, you can visit in person to pick up your pup. If you’re far away, you can travel by car or plane.
Work with a trusted flight nanny or transporter to get your puppy comfortably dropped off at an airport or meeting point close to home.
Why Tina started breeding
I began showing a bitch that we had and saw an opportunity to breed the kind of dog that I wanted to have in my home. The perfect dog doesn't exist, but I'm working towards it every day.
