I'm Talia G., the breeder behind Rosehill Mastiffs & Bulldogs located in Vidor, TX. At Rosehill Mastiffs, we dont breed often but when we do we are very selective with the goal of contributing to the betterment of the breed first and foremost! We breed for show and companionship as we believe they go hand-in-hand. Our Mastiffs are health tested, of sound temperament and championed.

Q. & A. with Talia
Why did you start breeding?
We fell in love with the Mastiff breed at a dog show over 30 years ago and have shared our home with them ever since! In 2019 we added a Bulldog to the home and are looking forward to our future with that breed.
What makes your program special?
At Rosehill Mastiffs & Bulldogs we seldom breed but when we do, you can bet we have done our research and that we believe we have something truly special to contribute to the breed! We breed only health tested (cleared) Mastiffs and show quality Mastiffs and Bulldogs that have proven themselves both inside and outside the ring for both conformation and temperament. As such, we are picky about our pups' final placement!
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Mastiff puppies are fawn. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
