Centurion Neapolitan Mastiffs have been involved with mastini since 1997. We entered the show ring with Ironstone Aurora and Ironstone Onyx in 2003 when neos were still showing in the Miscellaneous Class in the AKC. When they were fully recognized by the AKC in 2004, we campaigned Aurora and Onyx. Aurora became an AKC champion in December, 2004 and Onyx in the spring of 2005. CH Ironstone Aurora was Best of Opposite Sex at the 2005 United States Neapolitan Mastiff Club specialty show in Beckley, WV. In 2006, we finished CH Centurion Bravo Baci Carbone, a daughter of Aurora's. In addition to the USNMC, we belonged to the Greater Northlake Kennel Club of Covington, Louisiana.
We breed for temperament first and structure second. We want a Neapolitan Mastiff that is well put together, not simply a wrinkle monster. All our puppies are sold with health guarantees, have all vaccinations and are micro-chipped for identification purposes. And of course, they are all AKC registered. We work with potential buyers to place the right puppy in their home, but we are particular about whom we will sell a puppy to. Buying a Neapolitan Masitff is a huge committment of time, money and love.
