Estrella Polar Pyrenean Mastiffs

Temperament testing for M litter yesterday now that they are 7 weeks old ❤️

11/06/2024

Embark has recently added some new disease testing during the Summer! One of these new disease test items is Copper Toxicosis. Some Pyrenean Mastiffs tested recently are showing as having the markers for Copper Toxicosis. We don't know if this disease is a false positive or relevant to our breed at this time so we are monitoring it. Any of our breeding dogs or upcoming breeding prospects who did not have this specific test on their kit will be getting tested for it so we can see who may or may not be carriers/at risk. It is important to us to know that we limit potential risk to puppies in case this does actually apply in the breed.

Reminder Carrier does not mean affected/at risk for either Degenerative Myleopathy or Copper Toxicosis. Both are diseases that are inherited in an incomplete penetrant, autosomal recessive pattern in some breeds of dog. This means that two copies of the alleles increase the risk of the condition showing, but not all dogs with two copies of the allele will develop the disease. Being Carriers means they are at no additional risk level of developing them.

Puppy picture for attention ❤️

We haven't posted much as it's been a bit busy!

Our newest member to our pack ❤️ Domitila Serra do Barbanza aka Eva (Arousa Serra do Barbanza x Julen Mamariga) from Spain.

Yes that is in fact 3 new puppies to the pack haha. We usually only ever added 2 at a time so we have our hands full with socialization, individual field trips (prevent sibling syndrome), crate training, potty training and the whole 9 yards!

We also confirmed pregnancy with Miss Vega and her Czech boyfriend Bandito Los Hafanos ❤️ puppies expected July 20th.

06/02/2024

We want to introduce our 2 newest additions to the Estrella Polar Pack ❤️

First we have Morgen aka Northwoods Dawn of the Morning co-owned with Pyrenean Mastiffs of the Northwoods in Minnesota.

Next we have Archer aka Murtoi's Apollo an Italian Import boy ❤️

We look forward to watching these pups grow and for them to be part of the future of our kennel ❤️

We are a safe place for Pyrenean Mastiffs. We will always make room for a dog in need until a home is found.

We will always take back a puppy we produced regardless of reason or need.

Just a friendly reminder to everyone. Pyrenean Mastiff Association of America was created to be a community of people who have love for the Pyrenean Mastiff and want to see it thrive.

We (the board) have wanted to be a pillar of support for the breed in all ways possible in the United States. This includes providing education, mentorship, networking, and support for owners, breeders and most importantly the dogs!

It is sad that we must say this but as a reminder to all in the breed community, we will always support anyone who needs to rehome their Pyrenean Mastiffs for whatever reason. We are here for the dogs and would rather people come to us if they need assistance than going to a rescue or shelter. We are 100% firm in the belief that the Pyrenean Mastiffs are more important than anything else and we will always be a safe haven for them. We NEVER want someone to feel guilty or judged for needing to place a dog no matter the reason. Know that we are here and happy to help you.

Sincerely,
PMAA Board of Directors
