I'm Mary A., the breeder behind Norfolk Heritage Farm located in Montrose, PA. We invest so much effort into raising each litter to help prepare our puppies for a lifetime of love with their new families. We give our puppies the best start possible so they’re set up to succeed as well-socialized, trainable, and wonderful additions to any family.
Q. & A. with Mary
Why did you start breeding?
My family bred and showed Labrador's in England for Field Trial and Conformation.
What makes your program special?
I only breed a few litters a year and only after all the health testing has been done and the parents have been shown and usually achieved their Championship. I am careful where I place my puppies, and hope that the families stay in contact with me. I support the human and four footed extended families. Look at my facebook page, Pyrenean Mastiff of Patrimonio.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent health testing
Breeder-Reported Testing
Great level
Norfolk Heritage Farm 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 Pyrenean 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.
Patellar Luxation
Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.
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).
