This is our third breeding of the Labrador Retriever/English Mastiff hybrid known as Mastadors. This hybrid has been around for many decades, but we are the only professional or hobby breeders we know of that has a Mastador breeding program with well-bred AKC parents and genetic health guarantees. We are excited, and plan to expand the program as we figure out color genetics, proper mate combinations, etc. We are hoping to have at least 4 litters a year starting next year!

This litter caught us by surprise by over 10 days! The first three puppies were born outside. When we discovered them at feeding time, they were cold, stiff, had their tongues hangng out, and had no discernible pulse. We believed they were dead, and set them aside. A little while later however, we heard a faint cry from one of them. It turned out all three were still alive. We warmed them with hot water bottles and bottle-fed the one that was strongest. Within an hour, all three were nursing on Annie! We truly regard these three as "miracle puppies". There are five lads and three lasses in this litter!

Dam & Sire: Annie & Maximus

Anne
of Red House

[PEDIGREE]

Annie is our adorable, silly girl, loved and spoiled by all. We got her as a puppy with chamionship bloodlines from English stock. She is a big girl, about 90 lbs., and is sweet and gentle.

Annie loves to get down with the little pups and pretend she's one of them!

She has a very calm, laid-back demeanor, and a beautiful, soft, cream-colored coat.

Annie has been raised and trained as my daughter Hannah's own pet.

Maximus
the
Mightie Bandogge
of Covenant Farm

This is Maximus. He's the newest member of the Covenant Farm Family. He is AKC registered from respectable bloodlines. At 3 years old, Max is about 160 lbs. His handsome broad head and excellent apricot coat make him a truly fine-looking sire.

He's a very calm, even-tempered lad. Max is a gentle giant, sweet and tender with little children and young puppies, completely oblivious to his own size, and still young enough to think he belongs with a litter of puppies.

Max is very affectionate and loyal. He loves to stay close to you, and can't understand why you wouldn't want him in your lap. His puppies have all grown up with those same great traits!

Where did Max get that ridiculous name?

The Mastiff is an ancient breed thought to be traceable back to the Phonoecians in the 4th Century B.C. We took Max's formal name from old descriptions we found of the Mastiff (in centuries past called the "Mastie" or the "Bandog" or variations of them).

A description from 1631:

"First, the Mastie that keepeth the house. For this purpose you must provide you such a one as hath a large and mightie body, a great shrill voyce, that both with his barking he may discover, and with his sight dismaye the theefe, yea, being not seene, with the horror of his voice put him to flight...His disposition must neither be too gentle nor too curst, that he neither faune upon a theefe nor flee upon his friends; very waking; no gadder abroad, nor lavish of his mouth, barking without cause; neither maketh it any matter though he be not swifte, for he is but to fight at home, and to give warning of the enemie."

A description from 1570:

"This kinde of Dogge called a Mastyue or Bandogge is vaste, huge, stubborne, ougly, and eager, of a hevy and burthenous body, and therefore but of litle swiftnesse, terrible, and frightfull to beholde...For it is a kinde of dogge capeable of courage, violent and valiaunt, striking could feare into the harts of men, but standing in feare of no man, in so much that no weapons will make him shrincke, nor abridge his boldnes.
