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.

Citadel's Ajayi Cher Song Ba  x  StormnAngels Forged In Heaven

We have decided to go ahead with a breeding that we had originally planned for next year. We are very encouraged by some similarities shared by this pair. Both have robust, compact bodies and free, driving movement. Both Captain & Kai are bright, athletic and affectionate. Each has enjoyed excellent health. We are hoping that many of these strong points will be represented in their babies.

Kai is our strong-minded girl that is a wonderful mix of spicy and sweet. Equally affectionate and gutsy she is our most obedient and eager to please dog. Like Captain she is an intelligent and athletic dog with correct purposeful movement. She has a nice broad chest, level topline, great tail set and high tail carriage. Kai is 26 inches tall and currently weighs a solid 100 pounds. Completely devoted to her family Kai is a loving companion and guardian.

This boy is our pride and joy. Captain is a proven stud dog that has consistently passed on his outstanding type, temperament and charm to his offspring. He is an animated, outgoing and people-oriented dog. Captain stands 27.5 inches tall and is a substantial and muscular 120 pounds. A true athlete, he has good solid structure and strong, driving movement. A dense and sturdy boy, he presents with lovely bone whether he is in or out of coat. His health has been impeccable and his intelligence and sweet-tempered personality cannot be beat.

Our second breeding is a co-breeding planned with our friends at Washani Tibetan Mastiffs in Wisconsin. Puppies will be born at Washani and together we will be actively involved in the placement of the puppies. We hope our boy Captain will contribute his many positive attribtutes to this pairing. These puppies will carry both the Washani and the Citadel Kennel name.

Drakyi Anoka
OFA Hips - GOOD / Elbows NORMAL :: Thyroid - NORMAL as of 12/09
Anoka is the girl that started it all here at Washani TMs as she is the dam of our very first two litters born in 2005 and 2006. We are very excited to call on her again and we look to her to bring us some of her greatest attributes. A natural matriarch with her own off-spring, that overflow of mothering instincts even extended to helping raise her daughter Vixen's litter too. Carrying excellent bone and abundant coat, Anoka is a very substantial gold with sable female who is maturing into a truly regal Tibetan Mastiff. Her character is impeccable. She presents with typical Tibetan Mastiff aloofness, but she nonetheless shows her family an even-tempered, sweet and easy-going nature. Anoka has a tremendous loving character and she is definite favorite with all who meet her.

6 Puppies Born February 20, 2010, Four Boys & Two Girls!

Captain & Anoka gave us 1 gold and 1 black & tan girl, 1 gold and 3 black & tan boys. There is one boy available for reservation. Please feel free to contact us or Becky Hyatt of Washani if you have questions or would like to be considered as a home for one of these puppies. You can also fill out our online questionnaire to start the application process.
