I'm JOSEPH T., the breeder behind Trindade Mastiffs located in Hernando, MS. We are breeders dedicated to the betterment of the mastiff breed. As members of the MCOA, our dogs compete in AKC conformation events, but are our babies first and foremost. Health and temperament are our focus, and we raise our puppies in our home with our family.
Q. & A. with JOSEPH
Why did you start breeding?
After bringing our second mastiff into our home, we decided to try our hand at showing. Dolly is our first show dog and has exceeded all of our expectations. We decided to start breeding to continue share the mastiff breed with others and help contribute to its preservation.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
