Heartfelt Stories

From Our Happy Families

I initially adopted Snow Arrow. I was so satisfied with the breed, the service before and after the sale, and the passion of the breeders that I even decided to get another NAM, Scooby-Doo! They are passionate breeders who care about good genetics, both physically and behaviourally. I highly recommend them; if you want an authentic North American Mastiff dog, NAM Canada is place to go!

Ann

I wanted to express my deep gratitude for the warm welcome and professionalism you showed during my experience with you. Your passion for dogs and dedication are extraordinary. I am the proud owner of a big, beautiful dog named Yogi, who is very calm. He loves cuddles, playing, and especially eating. Thank you to Martin and Melanie for their advice; we can always count on them. I highly recommend this breeder, you won’t be disappointed. The professionalism is top-notch.

Geneviève

Very friendly people, always ready to give advice with excellent knowledge. They are truly dedicated to their work. I adopted a NAM (Ruby) at 11 weeks, and she adapted incredibly well, whether with cats, the dog, ferrets, or rabbits. Do you love the breed but are still undecided? In short, this is the perfect place to adopt. I highly recommend them!

Audrey

Very professional service, but above all, they are wonderful people! They are passionate and love their dogs, and it shows! The dogs are treated with a lot of love in a clean and spacious environment. This is now the second dog I have from their breeding; both have been true little teddy bears! We have Dutton at home; he is super gentle with the kids, listens very well, and is a real bundle of love!The fact that the puppies are accustomed to various stimuli (cars, vacuum cleaners, children, cats, etc.) from birth is truly wonderful, and the adaptation to his new family/home went perfectly! They provide great follow-up before and after adoption (with photos from birth); if we have any questions, they are always there to answer them. In short, they are amazing!

Kristine

I’ve never met such wonderful humans as Martin, Mel, and the crew, along with their beautiful dogs. The first time I saw these amazing creatures was in the USA, and discovering NAM Canada, with its original bloodline, was a dream come true.I feel so blessed. SEAL is the most beautiful, sweetest, and soooooo gorgeous! —I’m completely in love!

Patricia

Having had mastiffs for the past thirty years and having competed with one, I’ve come to know many different breeders. As a veteran who served our country, I had to transition from competing to needing an assistance dog. Understanding how breeders operate, it was crucial for me to find one with the highest standards and values.Some time ago, we had the honor of reaching out to Martin and were fortunate to add one of his amazing Dogue de Bordeaux dogs to our family. Since then, he has become more than just an outstanding breeder of the NAM breed; he has become a close friend. This connection comes naturally when you experience the high standards he maintains, ensuring quality, sound dogs that are raised with constant human interaction—something immediately evident in every dog from his kennel.We are extremely happy to now have a new NAM, Hercule 2.0, who is six months old and never ceases to amaze us or fill our hearts. Dogs of this caliber can only come from an equally exceptional breeder. We are incredibly fortunate to know Martin and deeply grateful for the remarkable standard of NAMs he upholds.
