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
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.

Calm, food-motivated, and endlessly patient with the grandkids. Our steady hand.

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.

Curious, confident, and already a champion snuggler. The future of the kennel.

Enquiries welcome all year. We're happy to talk over temperament, health testing, and whether a Mastiff is the right match for your home.
