The early weeks of each puppy's life are extremely important to us here at Citadel TMs. All of our puppies are raised in the house with tender loving care and are provided with abundant attention on a daily basis. Citadel puppies are also ensured plenty of safe and appropriate socialization during their time with us. Breedings are typically planned for Fall/Winter. Puppies are usually ready for their homes early winter to late spring. It is not uncommon for our litters to be fully spoken for before they are born. We strongly encourage advance reservations for those interested in a beloved family member or an exceptional show quality puppy to take into the AKC ring.  Contact us directly or please fill out our questionnaire to be considered for a puppy. Also read our article CHOOSING A BREEDER.

The Tibetan Mastiff is not for everyone or for every living situation.  PLEASE make sure that you can make a lifelong commitment to your puppy before bringing one into your home! Viewing the Tibetan Mastiff FAQ and reading the checklist "What You Should Know" will give you a very good idea of what to expect from the Tibetan Mastiff breed.  These links will take you off site.

We are very excited to see what this outcross will bring. Adding diversity and size, we think Bentley will compliment Katie in the best possible way. Both have dramatic type, bone and excellent temperaments. Bentley is an Estonian import and he is the #6 Tibetan Mastiff as of May-June 2010.

Bentley

Bentley is a very fun-loving and rambunctious boy. Affectionate with his people, he is very devoted and attentive. Bentley is sensitive and he tries hard to please. He is the first to greet strangers with great enthusiasm if he is shown that they are accepted. Highly energetic, he is a treat to bring to dog shows as he loves all the excitement and activity. Bentley has done well in the ring to date. He is a tall and strong boy with much maturing to do. We can see that he is developing into a substantial and impressive dog.

We want to thank Jann from KayaKyi Tibetan Mastiffs for the opportunity to use her boy.

Katie

Katie is a contradiction. She often appears to be very serious and austere but is also frequently a major goof. She loves to joyfully throw toys and sticks into the air so that she can pounce on them as they land and it was this trademark move that earned her the nickname of "Katie Cuckoo". Her bark is distinctive as it starts out in a deep WOOF and morphs into a long WOOOOOO! It never fails to make me smile. Katie is a devoted and loving companion with an endearing, low-key attitude. Initially she is reserved with strangers but once her confidence is won, she moves in for plenty of cuddling as she is a very affectionate girl. Her gorgeous, full and heavy mane rivals that of many boys I have seen but underneath it all she also has remarkable bone and substance. Katie has proven to be a caring and attentive mother to her puppies and we think her last litter will be a great one.

We expect black as well as black & tan puppies from this pairing. Please feel free to contact us if you would like to be considered as a show or companion home for one of our puppies. You can also fill out our online questionnaire to start the application process.
