Welcome to Silverwillow Mastiffs

We are a small kennel located in the heart of rural Alberta. At present, we have two boys.

We are active members of the Canadian Mastiff Club, Mastiff Club of Western Canada, Mastiff Club of America and the Canadian Kennel Club.

Looking for A Puppy?

It is imperative that puppy buyers really do their homework when looking for a new puppy. Ensure that you have researched both the breed and the breeder thoroughly.

We have put together a list of things, we ourselves, look for when buying a puppy - as well as some good references about the breed in general.

Our Dogs

At this time we only have two Mastiffs. We are an active family and try to include the dogs in as many activities as we can. They love to go camping, hiking, swimming and boating.

We also are involved in therapy work and are working towards working titles.

In Memory

When you are sorrowful look into your heart and you shall see that you are weeping for that which has been your delight.

~Kahlil Gibran

Potential owners should ensure their breeder has done extensive genetic testing to reduce the risk of their Mastiff developing a congenital diease.

However, not every disease can currently be screened for, so it is equally important to be educated about all disease affecting the breed and the respective warning signs.

How To Feed Raw

We try to raise our dogs naturally - mimicking how they would live in the wild.

We focus on ensuring our dogs have a healthy robust, immune system so they are better able to deal with stressors as they arise. This includes feeding a raw diet, using minimal vaccines and avoiding pesticides whenever possible.
