Est. 1998 · Argyll, Scotland

A giant, gently kept.

We breed a small number of Mastiffs each year at Invereck Cottage — quiet, weighty companions raised close to the fire and the shore.

(a) The philosophy

Bred for the hearth, not the show ring.

A good Mastiff should feel like a settled weight beside you — alert but never anxious, friendly to children, steady with the odd farm dog. Temperament is our first standard; the rest follows.

We never rush a litter. Every dog is health-tested, vaccinated, socialised from the very first week, and checked over by our vet before it goes to its new home.

Atlas

Stud

A Formentino Cane Corso — an Italian Mastiff. Amazing with family, calm and loyal in the house, yet a formidable guardian with a strong territorial instinct when something is amiss.
