Meet the breeder
I'm JOSEPH T., the breeder behind Trindade Mastiffs located in Hernando, MS. 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. We use the puppy culture program to help give each puppy we produce the best possible start.
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 sharing the mastiff breed with others and help contribute to its preservation. Dolly's first litter has produced amazing mastiffs who are already AKC Grand Champions at less than 2 years old.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include fawn and brindle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Getting a puppy from JOSEPH
JOSEPH has been certified by Good Dog's screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you're ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies.
JOSEPH partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 8 weeks old.
"We wait to make selections of puppies until 8 weeks of age. We will make our selection for the puppy we will keep first, then Gatlin's owners will make a selection. After that, we go in order of deposits received for buyers to make their selection. We do our best to only take as many deposits as we have puppies, gender, and coat color desired. But we make no guarantees that the puppy you are eyeing is the one that will be available when we reach your selection. For that reason, if we do not have the gender or coat color you were wanting, we will refund your deposit. "
Price
"This includes AKC registration, a veterinarian examination, age appropriate vaccines, deworming, a guarantee of health, microchipping and enrollment in AKC reunite for life. The deposit holds your pick order for your puppy."
