Our Molossus puppies are a beautiful representation of the ancient breed. They are half English Mastiff, half Neapolitan Mastiff and 100% gorgeous, loving babies! They will always be (black) brindle due to their genetics and shared color genes. Mom and dad have both been OFA certified on hips and health/genetic tested through Embark. We currently have 1 male and 2 females available. Please call, text or email if you have any questions! If interested in one of our puppies, please complete the puppy application on our website and I will contact you once I have reviewed. We are located in Southwest Missouri near Joplin.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Neapolitan Mastiff Puppies
About Neapolitan Mastiff Puppies
What is a Neapolitan Mastiff like?
Neapolitan Mastiffs love being large and in charge. Unlike other Mastiffs, this breed isn’t a gentle giant. They're loyal protectors that can be good family dogs when socialized early, but strangers and other animals beware: this pup means business. Full-grown, they typically weigh 110-150 pounds and stand 24-31 inches tall.
Are Neapolitan Mastiffs safe around children?
Neapolitan Mastiffs are generally okay with older children who know how to handle dogs. Neapolitan Mastiffs are very good with children, pets, and other animals if socialized early, but they need close supervision around young kids because of their massive size. Male Neapolitan Mastiffs can get aggressive with other male dogs. They're relatively quiet and don't bark much.
What's the best way to exercise a Neapolitan Mastiff?
Despite their large size, the adult Neapolitan Mastiff isn’t a very active breed. These dogs only need an average amount of exercise, such as a walk or play session in a large, fenced-in yard. Puppies shouldn’t be over exercised because they grow quickly and need all of their energy to build strong bones and put on weight. Overall, their exercise needs are moderate.
How much brushing and bathing does a Neapolitan Mastiff need?
The Neapolitan Mastiff has a short, dense coat of smooth, fine hair that feels hard to the touch. These dogs can be standard grey, leaden grey, dove-grey, leaden black, brown, fawn, deep fawn, light fawn, or hazel. White patches on their chest and tips of their toes are common as well. Grooming-wise, this breed is moderate.
What should first-time owners know about Neapolitan Mastiffs?
Neapolitan Mastiffs are best suited for a house with a good-sized yard. Keep your Neapolitan Mastiff healthy and happy by making their primary living space indoors (preferably in a home, not an apartment), avoiding hot weather, and providing enough physical activity. They are moderately trainable with consistent effort.
Frequently Asked Questions
About English Mastiff Puppies
About English Mastiff Puppies
What's it like owning a English Mastiff?
Mastiffs are far from the imposing beasts they may appear to be. This breed is the heaviest dog around, but judging by their personalities, most of that weight lies in their hearts. Mastiffs are kind, gentle souls who protect if needed but would choose a hug over hostility any day.
How do English Mastiffs behave around young children?
English Mastiffs are generally not the best fit for families with young kids. Mastiffs are good with children and get along well with other dogs and pets with socialization. Their good-natured temperament lends well to families with children, and they often put up with playing, pranks, and hijinks without batting an eye. They're relatively quiet and don't bark much.
Are English Mastiffs couch potatoes or do they need a lot of exercise?
In spite of their imposing size, the adult Mastiff doesn’t need a ton of exercise. These dogs enjoy walks around the block, a light job, or playtime in a large, fenced-in yard. Mastiff puppies shouldn’t be overly exercised because they need all of their energy to grow strong bones and put on weight. Overall, their exercise needs are moderate.
What kind of coat care does a English Mastiff require?
Mastiffs have a short-haired, fawn (light-yellow brown) coat that ranges in color from silver to apricot to dark brindle. These dogs are recognizable by their black mask, ears, and nose. Because their hair is so short, the Mastiff’s coat needs little attention; brushing them with a rubber brush once in a while should do the trick. Grooming-wise, this breed is low-maintenance.
Do English Mastiffs need a big yard?
English Mastiffs are best suited for a house with a good-sized yard. Mastiffs are ill-suited for hot weather and prefer life indoors where they can relax on a soft pillow or cold tile. Because of their size, Mastiffs aren’t practical for apartments and will be more comfortable in homes with a yard. They are moderately trainable with consistent effort.

Visit or Video Call the Breeder
Visit in person if possible, or request a live video call to meet the puppy, see its living conditions, and meet the mom. Ask to see where the dogs eat, sleep, and play.
Get a Vet Exam Immediately
Have a vet examine the puppy within two days of bringing it home, even if it seems healthy.
Request Complete Health Records
Ask for vaccination records, deworming history, and vet exam results. For purebreds, ask for parent health clearances.
Get Everything in Writing
Written contract with health guarantees, return/refund policy, and spay/neuter terms. Verbal promises are unenforceable.
Use Secure Payment Methods
Pay with a credit card or another traceable method that offers buyer protection. Avoid wire transfers, crypto, or gift cards, which are difficult to recover.
Verify Breeder Credentials
Check USDA license, state breeder license, breed club memberships, and reviews. Ask for buyer references.
Know What to Look For
A trustworthy breeder welcomes visits, specializes in one or two breeds, prices fairly, and gives you time to decide without pressure.
Know Your State's Laws
Some states have lemon laws; others rely on contract law. Know your rights before you buy.
