A BIT OF BACKGROUND

Hi, we are the Black family, and we love our pack of grand champion lined English Mastiffs!

Alissa is an experienced, ethical dog breeder who took about a 10 year hiatus to finish college and start teaching. In 2019 she finally had a place to host doggies again, and she brought home 3 adult English Mastiffs with impressive bloodlines who had outgrown their original homes. Two still needed training, and the journey began.

Jason is a combat veteran who moved to the area in 2020. He fell in love with the pack, as they are fantastic service animals and help him with his PTSD. And he took over most of their training and care.

Jason and Alissa added one more member to the pack together in 2020, another girl with impressive bloodlines. In January 2021, Jason and Alissa got married.

​

The pack now resides in Winfield, PA. The first generation got to retire to couches extra early as the family moved twice cross country while dealing with medical problems. Muddy Mastiffs is now on its second generation building its own unique bloodline.

​

Zuri and Zelli, born in the summer of 2021 are set to be the next generation of doggy moms. You can check out their antics on our YouTube channel, Alissa Black / Muddy Mastiffs. Hope to see you there!
