I'm the breeder behind Noble Legacy Tibetan Mastiffs located in Muskogee, OK. Tibetan Mastiffs (TMs) have been our passion since the 1990's. We are active in showing, breeding, and supporting our breed rescue. We selectively breed authentic type TMs with sound temperaments and excellent health test results. Our puppies are family friendly yet retain their guardian instincts.
About Deborah
I got my first purebred dog and stepped into the show ring for the first time when I was 16. I bred my first litter (GSD) in my 20's. When I met my first Tibetan Mastiff in 1996, there was no looking back, and it is the only breed I have owned since that time. I am now a retired Registered Nurse and devote my time to preserving and furthering the breed and fostering for our national breed rescue.
What makes Deborah’s program special
The amount of time spent with our puppies sets our breeding program apart. We spend every waking moment with our puppies--providing them with lots of socialization, play time, and environmental stimulation. We post pictures and videos on FB daily. We prepare our puppies for their new homes by introducing to new dogs, car rides, etc. They leave us confident, secure, and ready to take on the world.

Why Deborah started breeding
My mom introduced me to breeding with her German Shepherds. I showed and bred a few litters through the years. Once my kids were grown, I was able to devote full time to breeding the way I felt it should be done, raising my puppies with the same love and attention that I devoted to my kids. Our grandkids are now involved in raising and showing our pups: A new generation to carry on our efforts!
