Paul’s experience

  • About Paul

    I live on a 70-acre farm with much historical significance. In 1798, a local doctor's family made their home here growing crops and building a community. Family members fought in the Revolutionary War and Civil War. Today, the 70-acre historic farm's primary purpose is to serve the Pyrenean Mastiff dog and various rescue breeds. I have been doing this since 2006 and have loved the journey.

  • What makes Paul’s program special

    Our goal is to not only produce beautiful puppies but to help promote responsible breeding that will ensure Pyrenean Mastiffs will continue to thrive and excel for generations to come.

More about Paul

  • Why Paul started breeding

    I was introduced to the Pyrenean Mastiff in 1997. At that time, there were none in the USA prior. Since then, it has been my goal to expand and preserve the line. I take my role as a breeder very seriously and believe that today's breeders are the guardians of the future Pyrenean Mastiffs.

    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.

  • 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).
