looking for a male to breed with my 2-1/2 yr old female, in the central tx area
-
please do the OFA on hips/elbows before breeding any dog
also check the stud for his certs also
we also do thyroid test on all our breeding dogs/bitches
goal
make better dogs
not more
good luck to you and your bull mastiff

No offense, limochick, but I'm not sure this board is really the place to find a mate for your bitch... we are a humble forum of dog lovers sharing information on our loving companions and how to keep them healthy and happy.

kind of strange
why dosent limochick call the breeder to see where there is a male that will compliment the bitch to improve on the pups. that IS what it's all about.
i still am concernd about the OFA on breeding
i am so tired of hearing "it has papers"
any one who buys a puppy mill puppy gets akc papers"'. after reading all the bad hips/health problems in BPO, WE HAVE TO ENLIGHTEN PEOPLE THAT BREED DOGS TO DO all TESTS AND EXRAYS BEFORE BREEDING, ALSO CHECK THE PEDIGREES FOR THE CERTS. TOO!
Breeding is to make better dogs,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,NOT MORE!
lets see our champions, in our hearts, be champions in thier health too!
if i am sounding a bit pffft, i am sorry
it's just the way i am, i hate seeing so many unwanted animals, given up, because of bad health, and the buyers did not do the reserch on the breed and pedigree before buying a puppy. i see oh this pup was 500 dollars less then the other "breeder's" pups,,,,,,,,,,,,,,i wonder why?

Here here!!!!!...An aquaintence called me in tears because the mini chihuahua she bought for far too much in a pet shop has diabetes & assorted other problems :o...She cried over & over "But he's akc registered" when I tried to explain just what went wrong with the pup...She totally didn't want to hear the facts because she was too busy being shocked that an akc registered dog might have health problems...Fin ally I expressed my sypathies & excuse myself from the call...So the akc knows your dog exists ::)...that's fabulous!...God that was irritating! >:(

If you were qualified to be breeding animals you would know the answer to that question. Since you are asking here, on BPO, you have no clue to what breeding is, and shoudn't be attempting it.

I think that's a fair assumption.

I did a simple google search for 'bullmastiff breeders' and found these sites for you.
http://breeders.bullmastiffinfo.org/northamerica/unitedstates/unitedstates.htm
http://www.cyberpet.com/dogs/bullmastiff.htm
http://dir.yahoo.com/Business_and_Economy/Shopping_and_Services/Animals/Dogs/Breeders/Bullmastiffs/
http://www.puppydogweb.com/breeders/bullmastiff.htm
http://www.nextdaypets.com/directory/dogs/breeders/1100058/
I don't support any of the above sites, I just copied and pasted for you. Try to hook up with a Bullmastiff breeder who has years of experience, learn what you can, do what you should and then re evaluate if you want to breed.

Bullmastiffs are difficult to breed.
One reason I never got into this breed, as I researched it in the mid 90s.
They are lovely dogs, but MOST bitches will have primary uterine intertia and require C sections for whelping.
Most breeders schedule sections as a matter of course.
Plan on an extra $1,000 to $2,000 per breeding, depending on your location.
PIU means that labor never starts. You will see no signs except for an overdue bitch and a putrid discharge. The puppies will separate from their placentas, die in utero, and decay. Labor will NEVER start. The bitch will die if the dead puppies and uterus are not removed.
Breedings and whelping date calculations must be done carefully. Puppies are not really viable much before the 55th or 56th day of gestation.
Here is a link to the Bullmastiff Association of America. More good info for you there.

I just spoke with Ann & she is right about this...I am guilty of not offering any good advise & I am truely sorry for that...I was lucky enough to have serious dog people in my life before I got dogs...Some people don't & really don't know...Not saying that the origional poster in ths thread doesn't because there isn't alot of info. to go by...This is a subject that most of us feel passionately about & it is easy to get our hackles up...Ann had a good idea & that is we should include a responsible breeding forum or just a place you can click to go for info. on responsible breeding...I am going to pm Bear & Jaba about this....Perhap s some of our responsible breeders here at BPO could help out. :)
