My mother and I acquired our first Mastiff in 1980. In 1984 we purchased Deer Run Sinder from Tobin Jackson of Deer Run Kennels.  Sinder was our first of many successes in the breed ring and he went on to become a top ranked mastiff in 1987, won the First MCOA Tournament of Mastiffs in 1990 and also became a Hall of Fame Producer

1990- CH Deer Run Sinder- Grand Winner, MCOA Tournament of Mastiffs

1988- CH Deer Run Sinder- ranked in the top 10 mastiffs All Breed and Breed

Every good breeder has a mentor, someone who took the time to teach them, to discuss issues, and to be there through the good and bad times. Judy Nash (pictured at left) is all of that and more to me.  After the loss of my mother, Judy filled a role in my life that makes her very dear to me. Though she is now retired from Mastiffs, she will always be a dear friend. 

Meadow Farm Mastiffs breeds occasionally, and usually has no more than one or two litters a year. If you are interested in getting on our waiting list, please fill out a puppy application.  We do health test our dogs, and choose to breed only those who have passed their testing AND are outstanding examples of the breed.

Some of our successes in the breed are listed on this page. Welcome to our web site and feel free to contact us if you have questions.
