    We were looking for a female English mastiff puppy to join our family and discovered precisely what we wanted at Tim’s Ozark Mountain Mastiffs. We had rejected breeder after breeder, just by looking at their breeding stock. First-class English mastiffs are strong, powerful, non-aggressive protectors for their families, but nowadays they are being bred too big, with massive chests, short legs and a linebacker’s body that’s guaranteed to bring pain and early death. Tim’s dogs have perfectly proportioned bodies --- sleek and sturdy, with long legs and solid, strong bodies. His mastiffs are welcomed as part of the family, which is as it must be because English mastiffs, like Tim’s, are protectors. Ozark Mountain dogs are shown with their people. Not only are Ozark Mountain dogs totally vetted, with complete paperwork guaranteeing their family heritage and their good health, but each is identified with its owner via being microchipped, so everyone knew which pup was ours. Tim came with his young son to bring our girl, during their state-to-state pup-delivery circuit. We drove up to meet him at our pre-arranged destination. They were right on time, gave us her paperwork along with a bag of puppy food, and confirmed our pup’s microchip ID via scanner. We paid via credit card, through “Good Dog” and then brought our happy, healthy new family member home. Mastiffs are a very old, very special kind of dog, bred to perform specific functions. These are physically powerful dogs that think for themselves, so their people must be strong-willed and able to train kindly. English mastiffs belong living with their families and must be handled firmly and gently because it is love for family that controls an English mastiff. Our 7-year-old male English mastiff, Shomer (in Jewish tradition, a “shomer” is a "guard" or "watchman"), and our 4-month-old Ozark Mountain girl are hitting it off perfectly, especially now that she’s gotten him wrapped around her paw. We named her “Ju-Ju”: In Louisiana, where we live, West African heritage in New Orleans, regards “juju” as “a magical or spiritual object, practice, or belief.” Yes, our Ju-Ju is a charmer, with her “fawn” coloration interspersed with black. In New Orleans she might be described as “a free pup of color.” She is most definitely a free-willed young lady, who is growing up strong and healthy, ready to take her place in our family. We are delighted! Ozark Mountain Mastiffs has earned our very highest recommendation. Photos show: Ju-Ju (at 2 1/2 months, when we brought her home) & Shomer

    Tim was incredible to work with! From the first message I sent- to the day of drop off, there was constant communication and updates. We looked at many options for selecting our English Mastiff and I couldn’t be happier that we went with OMM. You can tell that they spent time socializing and potty training our pup- she is such a good girl with the best temperament. We received updates each week with pictures and Tim came with all the documents needed to start with our vet. Tim truly cares about the breed and it shows! Thank you!

    Tim was very responsive from the beginning. He answered all my questions, usually within minutes. His costs were below normal but DNA testing was done on the parents. All worming and puppy shots were provided. Tim delivered the pup from a long distance away and would not accept delivery fees or gas money. He really seems to care about the breed and the health of his dogs. I can’t recommend him highly enough. Thank you for a beautiful pup.

    Tim was great to work with from start to finish. He replied to my application request on the same day, took the time to answer all of my questions, sent weekly photos of my pup and delivered him to my house on our agreed upon date. I could not be any happier with his service or with my puppy.
