Naturally Raised Mastiffs
|
What is naturally raised?
Simply put, it's raising animals in a way that is natural for their particular species. What is the purpose of natural rearing? To achieve optimal wellness and longevity in our animals. When we honor the actual needs of the species and provide an appropriate diet and care the animals innate healing mechanisms will flourish, thereby promoting health by preventing disease from occurring in the first place. Pet ownership is much more enjoyable when the animal maintains great health! |

What are the differences with natural rearing of dogs?
The basic principles are: feeding a varied diet of raw meat, bones and organs, minimizing exposure of toxins, pesticides, chemicals and pharmaceutical drugs, fresh pure water, plenty of sunshine, exercise and rest. When raising a litter, moms are with the pups 24/7, not just at feeding times and are allowed to wean the puppies on their own schedule. All of these natural elements work together to prevent disease, promote a long and healthy life and a stable temperament.
Selection of specific traits along with utilization of natural rearing methods has the greatest potential to consistently produce beautiful mastiffs with suitable temperaments that are healthy and long lived. For us it's all about the WHOLE package.
Why naturally raised?
Today's pet population is inherently ill. Look at your own dogs and those of your friends and family. Are any of them really healthy through their life? or are they overweight, suffering from joint, skin & gastro-intestinal problems? ear infections, chronic diarrhea, diabetes, dental problems, cancers & auto-immune diseases? This is all stemming from inappropriate diets and toxic overloads. We could simply stick our head in the sand and ignore the evidence and hope for the best. But that is just not how we choose to operate. We will take responsibility for the health of the animals we produce and do everything in our power improve their health. Raised in a natural way mastiffs can potentially live well into their teen years and not need to endure the chronic disease currently affecting a large population of our pets.
Rarely do we use any type of pharmaceutical drugs, including antibiotics with our dogs. Instead we rely upon other effective methods which support health naturally. Our Mastiffs are thriving because of natural rearing and yours can too!
