Before you start looking through the classifieds for mastiffs puppies to buy try visiting some of local dog shows available in your area. This is a good thing to do because many of the people showing their dogs may know of good breeders located locally or may be breeders themselves.

What To Expect
If they are a breeder then the most important question you can begin with is:
Q1) How long have they been a breeder.
Q2) Is there a specific reason they own their Mastiff's? (i.e. Show dogs or house pets?)
At the first opportunity ask about the health issues associated with the Mastiff breed. Don't worry every breed has some specific health issues. From your perspective it's important to not only know what the issues are before adopting but if the breeder is aware of these as well. Before you close the conversation a great question to ask the breeder is,"What they believe the mastiff's most important characteristic is". This should give you a lot of insight into their experience with the Mastiff breed.
