Overview: We are Kathy and Dan Kocher, Gaffle Bullmastiffs, in Ham Lake, Minnesota breeding only the finest quality bullmastiffs, for over 20 years. Our Bullmastiffs are members of our family (we proudly call them our pets) that also happen to be beautiful show dogs. Our dogs are selected for health, temperament, life-longevity and beauty.  Pets are placed on spay / neuter contracts.  Health is guaranteed as part of the contract.  We prefer to place our dogs in pet homes.Is a bullmastiff right for you?  Learn before you buy!Please refer to American Bullmastiff Association webpage for approved and accurate information about the bullmastiff.  Bullmastiffs are a working guardian breed and need obedience training and clear pack order in order to become a well behaved properly socialized member of your family.  They are not gentle giants, but are working guardian dogs.  Tips for finding a reputable breeder: Champions:  the last three generations should be AKC champions. Backyard breeders post a random win photo here and there.

Affiliations:  Members of the American Bullmastiff Association "ABA", regional bullmastiff association, and a local kennel club. Health Testing:  Generations of health testing is important as well as publishing it.    If you don't see it don't believe it.  Many backyard breeders say they do testing but that cuts into their profits.   Track record:  How many years experience and what have they produced in the past?  What are their motives in breeding?  Improve the breed or Volunteering and giving back to the breed:  Donate time, energy and effort to promote the welfare of the breed.  Active in the ABA with programs, sponsorships, and volunteering, rescue volunteer, health testing, active donor and supporter of the breed. Look for an AKC breeder of Merit. The AKC also offers information on how to choose a breeder.  Expectations:If you are interested in a bullmastiff puppy, expect to wait up to a year for a quality dog from a quality breeder.  My puppies cost more on the front end but you have 20 years of personal experience and involvement with bullmastiffs that extends the lifetime of your puppy.  

The cost of a puppy is $2,500 which includes expenses of heart and eye testing, as well as covers the substantial expenses for a well bred well cared for puppy.  I do not make any profit from breeding bullmastiffs, this is my hobby and my passion, not my job.  I place dogs with individuals and families that love their dogs and include them as members of their family.  We prefer pet homes.  Not all puppies need to be shown, but we do encourage our pet homes to recognize the great social benefit that does occur by working with the breeder to get the dogs championship.  We place dogs in homes that want to become part of our extended family.We require a fence (invisible fence lets unwanted dogs or people into your yard and a guard dog will protect their property), application, interview, & reference checks.  Homes that purchase dogs from my line represent my reputation and are an extension of my dog family.  Training helps ensure successful socialization for the dog and owner to ensure good citizens.  

Accordingly require completion of 3 basic training classes, including puppy kindergarten.    BE CAUTIOUS OF "FOR PROFIT" BREEDERS!  A puppy shipped in from a backyard breeder or a "storefront" internet site or even purchased from a pet store might be less expensive, but you don't know how those puppies are really raised, where the parents live, or how they are cared for.  Mansfield Toilet Repair InstructionsYour dollar supports them and encourages them to continue breeding.  Puppia T-Shirts webpage for both parents.  Price Pfister Kitchen Sink SprayerThe seller can tell you anything or show you pictures of anything -  but do they care what happens with the puppy once that puppy is gone and they have your money?  Who suffers when the puppy comes down with crippling hip or elbow dysplasia or other lack of training issues or problems - where do you turn - does the backyard breeder know or even care?

Those backyard breeders don't guarantee health, or provide lifetime support to the owners.  Just because they are AKC registered, does NOT assure the puppies are healthy and well bred.I have heard that sad story many times - the owners wished they didn't buy from the backyard breeder/internet breeder/pet store, they now don't know what to do and the puppy / dog end up costing them high vet bills or has other problems.  They vow to find a good reputable American Bullmastiff Association member or AKC Breeder of Merit for their next pup.   If the cost of a well bred, AKC registered bullmastiff puppy is a consideration, Bullmastiff Rescue is filled with dogs that are available for around $600 where the prior owners could not care for them or did not fully understand what the breed needs were.  If you have time for training and raising a dog the right way, please do consider a rescue.  There are many deserving dogs in need of wonderful forever homes !http://www.bullmastiff.us/rescue.htmlA bullmastiff is not for everyone;

Surprisingly sensitive, the Bullmastiff was originally bred in England to guard large estates and protect the inhabitants.  Training a Bullmastiff takes time and patience, but is necessary in order to keep them from being to independent and stubborn.  They are also sometimes referred to as a: Brindle Bullmastiff, French Bullmastiff, or a Italian Bullmastiff.
