AKC Northstar’s kennel Tibetan Mastiffs are my passion, I could not image my life without them! I strive to make sure all of my dogs meet the standards, and above with the intention of improving upon the breed always where possible. My TM’s, I, and my handling team work together traveling all over the united states showing my dogs, and have been blessed with several of my TM’s being in the top ten, and many times #1 in there breed, and All breeds. We have won Groups, and Placements each year at Royal Canin, and Westminster.
All of my dogs are AKC, Many having Champion titles, Champion sired/bloodlines. I feel privileged and blessed to be able to share my life with this outstanding breed, The Tibetan Mastiff.

Our Business Philosophy

A good breeder cares about the breed(s) of their choice, by learning as much about their dogs, the dog’s ancestry line (pedigree), genotype (genetic), and phenotype (structure). It is important to breed quality proven lines with quality lines; to know as much as possible about the Sire and Dam, and all of their ancestors. Remember that the father and mother, no matter how healthy, still carry the genetic traits of their ancestors. As a breeder, I can advise you about my dogs. I, however, cannot guarantee you that you will not incur future problems. I can only try to breed the best possible dog after thorough studying, and observation. A word of caution about the Tibetan Mastiff (TM). The TM has a limited gene pool. That is why it is very important for the breeder to be knowledgeable about their dog’s ancestry lines. Tibetan Mastiff's while being fairly new to AKC, and the United States have fewer health issues but are not without hereditary concerns. As a concerned breeder, I take great interest in making sure our puppies are placed with responsible, caring, and loving owners/families. My husband and I want to know you better, if you are interested in one of our dogs, please take a moment to fill out the puppy questionnaire. Adding a Tibetan Mastiff to your family is a serious commitment. Take time to learn/research about the breed of your choice. Choosing wisely can be rewarding.
