Meet the breeder
I'm Kati S., the breeder behind 4Arrows Mastiffs located in Friend, NE. I started raising Mastiffs after getting my first one in 2009. I have raised Mastiffs for the last 10 years. We live on a farm where our dogs have free range of 20 acres. Puppies are raised around my 3 children, other dogs, cats and a variety of farm animals. We health test our all of our girls and use that information as well as their confirmation to pick the best matches. Temperament is big for us. We are selective on who our puppies go to. It is important to us you are the perfect match for them.
Q. & A. with Kati
Why did you start breeding?
I fell in love with mastiffs when I bought my first back in 2009. I have done a lot of growing in knowledge of how to breed a quality mastiff. I always tell people I am not an artistic person in the traditional sense. Breeding however is an art form for me. I continue to put breedings together that will make a conformationaly correct dog with a great temperaments. I work with several amazing mentors.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include apricot, fawn, and brindle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

Great level
4Arrows Mastiffs reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Mastiffs.
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.
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.
Vet Wellness Exam
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
DNA Disease 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).
