I'm the breeder behind Nytewind Mastiffs located in Oak Grove, KY. I breed Mastiffs to improve the quality of the breed and to offer service dogs to people like myself. I carefully produce each litter with a focus on health, genetics, temperament, and conformation. I strive for quality and excellence with everything that I do. Holding myself to high standards is paramount to the well-being of my dogs and to the integrity of my program! I look forward to connecting with you!
About Carolyn
I love animals and have been training, breeding, showing, and rescuing dogs for over 30 years. Although I am fairly new to the breeding realm, I am enthusiastic about ethically sharing my love for Mastiffs with those who appreciate them just as much as I do!
What makes Carolyn’s program special
I will not produce any litter without adequate health testing. I do not believe in accidents, and no breeding takes place without researching the lines and genetic health testing. Once a litter is on the ground, each puppy is bred, raised, and loved indoors to ensure health, happiness, and harmony at the start of its life. It's an amazing feeling knowing that I made a positive contribution to these dogs and the families who love them!

Puppies receive age-appropriate vaccinations, dewormings, and a microchip, all of which are done by a licensed Veterinarian.
We send our puppies home with Certificate of Health, Vaccinations, Lifetime Breeder Support, Microchip, AKC Registration, and Puppy Starter Kit.
Carolyn 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 transporter to get your puppy comfortably dropped off at a meeting point close to home.
Why Carolyn started breeding
I wanted to breed Collies because I fell in love with my dog Lassie when I was growing up. I ended up running into a Mastiff at the local Humane Society, and my mom got him for me. This dog, Sam, taught me responsibility. Along the way, I have met a lot of breeders and trainers who have all given me valuable experiences working with the dogs. I look forward to applying my valuable knowledge and expertise to my program!

Hip Dysplasia
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)
Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)
Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
Full Embark Panel
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
