An American Mastiff needs three essential things in this order
to become a good dog. 1.Exercise 2.Directions/rules and 3.Love . If you can not offer your AM these
three things please reconsider.
The AMs have the potential to become wonderful
family dogs if properly raised. Socializing is very important part of the commitment to owning an AM or any
other puppy for that matter. The AMs thrive on direction but with out it become very needy and insecure. At 177 lb an insecure
puppy is not a good thing.Trust me ! If you and or your family is/are at all passive you probably should reconsider
your breed. The Am's need firm guidance and strict rules. The reward is Huge if done properly but equally the same if done
wrong.
Please think the whole puppy process through. Talk to several breeders
. Find the breeder and dogs that you most prefer,and If any doubts arise in regards to purchasing a puppy, again don't commit
until 110% sure about your( and your families )commitment level.You can plan on a 10 to 14 yr commitment if you adopt an AM.
That is, if you are a responsible, commited owner and manage your AM'S health and weight properly. The American Mastiffs
average standard ranges from 130 to 200 lb, 26 to 30 inches at the shoulder, Come in various colors, Fawn, Apricot,
Silver Fawn, Fawn Brindle, Apricot Brindle, and Reverse Brindle. American Mastiffs ALWAYS have a black mask. Often have
white on their chest and white toes. From time to time a breeder will get what I call a "Fluffy" which is a
throw back from the Anatolian lineage.Head can vary between a Boxy look to what I call a balanced head, being not as boxy
but balanced. Temperament is strong willed,very intelligent, kind and a natural and instinctive gardian. Willing to please
and good family dogs ( with the proper family )
The American Mastiff is similar to the English Mastiff but please know that the Americans do differ. The
AM's Are instinctive guardians, they need a job, need stern leadership, and demand daily exercise. The American Mastiff will
follow you from room to room, room to shower, shower to room and so on. The OEM? Likely to pick the spot that he can
see everybody from with out having to get up. If raised in the proper enviroment the AMs have great potential of
being your best dog ever owned BUT please keep in mind, they need daily exercize,attention and training. If you are consistant
in your household with rules and demands you will have a great dog. If you can not give your AM these things, why then
maybe it isn't the AM that you are looking for and you might consider an English Mastiff.The English Mastiffs are wonderful
family dogs that enjoy hanging out. They are less active and will not take you for that 1.5mile family walk.They have
a bit of a dumpy appearance when compared to the AMs. The Ams are more athletic and tend to be a bit tighter bodied VS the
English are happy on the front porch and have that cute dumpy look. Both breeds make great family pets but if it is the
AMs that you are looking for be ready for the commitment. If you tend to be a bit of a" push over" The AM is
probably not the breed for you. Talk with several breeders before commiting as well as visit their facilities / homes. Have
fun !
WAITING LIST Capell Creek Puppies prices vary .I , Like all of the other
AMBC approved breeders have an evaluation process as well as a waiting list. If interested in adopting a Capell Creek AM,
to be accepted and approved to be on the waiting list I first ask for a short story about your family, Married? Kids?
Ages? Own or rent? Family activities? Families energy level? Why do you want an AM? Who is home during the day?
recommendations ! etc. If accepted I then ask for a $300.00 deposit ( non-refundable). This deposit
will hold you and your family a spot on the Capell Creek waiting list. When received you are then added to the waiting list.
Wait time is aprox 2 months to 1 yr.

They live on a ranch with lots of other dogs , big and small, chickens, cats, horses, cows,sheep,goats etc. We always have
