Willow & Bear
Every puppy in this litter starts with these two. We breed for temperament and health first — and we are honest about their papers. Willow is registered; Bear is not. You will always hear that from us before you ask.
Willow
English Mastiff · Apricot fawn
Willow is the heart of our home before she is the mother of any litter. She raised our kids as much as we did — the dog who checks the baby monitor and follows the toddler around the yard. Her temperament is exactly what we breed for: calm, tolerant, and endlessly patient.
Registered & documented
Willow is AKC-registered with full health-tested lineage on file. We are happy to share her registration and pedigree with approved families.

Loves Sleeping across the kitchen doorway so nobody can leave without a hug.
Bear
English Mastiff · Brindle
Bear is 175 pounds of gentle goofball. He is not a papered dog and we do not hide that — he is a family dog first, chosen for his temperament and his health, not a pedigree. What he passes to his puppies is the thing you cannot certify: an easy, unbothered, deeply affectionate way of moving through the world.
Honest about papers
Bear is not registered. He came to us as a family dog, not a show prospect, and we have never pretended otherwise. He is health-tested and a wonderful father — but if AKC papers on both parents matter to you, we want you to know this up front.

No titles — a family dog, not a show dog.
Loves Carrying his own (enormous) food bowl around the yard like a trophy.
Who raises these dogs
Meadowbrook is two people and a house full of mastiffs. We answer every email ourselves.
Sam Rivers
Breeder & primary contact
Sam handles applications, meet-and-greets, and the endless puppy laundry. Grew up with big dogs and has raised them for fifteen years.
Favorite part: The moment a nervous first-time family meets the right puppy and relaxes.
Jordan Rivers
Whelping & health
Jordan runs the whelping room, tracks weights and vaccines, and coordinates vet visits. Sleeps on the floor by the box for the first two weeks of every litter.
Favorite part: Week three, when the puppies open their eyes and the whole thing gets loud.
