Oaklane-Polaris Mastiffs

History
History Tim and Vicki Hix got their first mastiff in 1984. They went to one dog show and were hooked!.Their first mastiff CH Hix's Scarlett Alexis was the #1 MCOA Mastiff bitch in 1987 and is the foundation for the Oaklane line. Tim and Vicki live in Parrish, Florida with their 7th generation of mastiffs and a pug. Nicki Camerra got her first mastiff in 1985. She had trained a lab in obedience and wanted a bigger challenge. Nicki’s mastiff CH Goldcoasts Polaris Titan CDX went on to become the MCOA top obedience dog in 1987. Nicki lives in Asheboro, NC with her husband Joe and two mastiffs.. We have co-owned all of our dogs since 1989. Our philosophy is that a mastiff is a working dog and should possess both structure and balance. Temperament and health testing round out the picture of the versatile mastiff.

All of our mastiffs are house dogs, thus we are limited in the number of dogs owned, shown, and bred. We have achieved our successes through a very limited breeding program. We will not breed any of our dogs unless they pass their health testing and have finished their Championships in the breed ring. We also don't breed our dogs just because they finish in the breed ring and pass their testing. There are too many mastiffs being bred just for the sake of breeding without considering type, soundness, health and temperament. The few girls that we did select to breed, usually only had one litter. We are currently winding down our breeding program and will be happy to refer inquiries to afew select breeders we are comfortable with or to Mastiff rescue. We will continue to be active in the breed, show in obedience, rally and conformation and will always have mastiffs as part of our families and be available to answer questions about the breed!

We test hips, elbows, CERF, VWD and Thyroid. To date we have bred/owned 32 champions,3 Hall of Fame producers, 9 CD title winners, 3 advanced OB title winners and the 2 top scoring mastiffs of all time in obedience. Six of our dogs are MCOA year end collar award winners and have won 13 MCOA Year end awards. Eight of our mastiffs have earned Working dog, Working Dog Excellent or Working Dog Supreme titles, and one has earned a draft title.
