Dear Marcus and Yvette,
Just wanted to say what a pleasure it has been purchasing our first neapolitan mastiff from Oldworld Mastinos. I have been looking into this wonderful breed on and off for about 5 years but never pulled the trigger on getting one. My wife somehow stumbles upon some pics of Neos online and tells me how much she loves the way they look and wants one someday. Then one day going to a AKC show i park right next to you guys and saw Don Vito.. and said WOOOWWW !!. Right then i knew i would get one someday. Well you guys have made that someday sooner than later. You guys were very knowledgeable about the breed and very welcoming to answering any questions about the mastinos and i can tell you both have a deep deep passion for these dogs and truly love the breed. I also thank you for allowing us to visit your home to see the quality of your dogs in person and showing them at different ages from puppy to young dog and to full grown adult. Not only do they have great pedigrees from some of the greatest dogs in the breed but to see them in person shows the quality of your stock and what great temperaments they have. After several conversations with you guys i was convinced i will get my first neo puppy from Oldworld and i didn't even need to talk to anybody else. I have been into competing with dogs for quite some time and have dealt with many breeders and have imported dogs from different countries and i must say from all my years dealing with dog people you guys have been the coolest, most helpful and kindest people to work with. I would recommend you guys to anybody that is interested in getting a high quality neo mastiff puppy !

Dear Marcus,
Three years ago I began my hunt for a Neapolitan Mastiff breeder. I have had other Mastiffs but this time I really wanted to take the time to find the perfect match for our family. I was fortunate enough to find Old World Mastinos. Your knowledge and passion for producing healthy, beautiful dogs is unsurpassed. We were thrilled when we received Cleopatra, sister to Don Vito. She is truly a magnificent gift to our family. She is so sweet, beautiful and big! We love every inch of her. We cannot thank you enough for always being accessible and caring about the dogs you place. She is our beloved pet but also incredible Old World Mastino. We are so proud of her!

My husband and I found Old World Mastinos almost 2 years ago when we were looking to import a dog into New Zealand, the process to import into New Zealand is extremely hard but with Marcus ongoing support and help he made it possible. He has always been available to give knowledge and expertise whenever I have needed him, everytime I email or phone he responds straight away. His dogs are world class we are the proud new owners of Old World Ren and are eagerly awaiting another Old World Mastinos dog. I HIGHLY recommend dealing with Old World Mastino’s!!!
Thank you Marcus, I am proud to be part of the Old World Mastinos family J

After a lot of re-search and the passing of our 1st Mastino We came across old worlds website and decided to put down a deposit on a old world female. The whole process was simple. Through email and phone calls Marcus was great and addressed every concern we had. He was very professional. My family and I picked our female up last August. We named her Amelia. Old world changed our family forever and we are extremely proud and so grateful for our pup and we couldn't imagine our life without her. We would highly recommend old world Mastinos to anyone. Thank you Marcus!

Testimonial for oldworldmastinos Marcus...On behalf of me and my family including my dogs, Marcus Curtis has not only been knowledgeable about Neapolitan Mastiffs but has also taken up a friendship with us. I have been a Mastiff lover for 15 years, and have owned a total of 6 of them. I started with backyard bred dogs but over years of looking and saving up money is when I stumbled into the internet and finding Marcus on his website oldworldmastinos. I wish I would have met him a long time before that because the knowledge it took me 15 years to gain , Marcus could have explained to me in a day. Marcus is very knowledgeable about the mastiff breed and I would say about dogs in general. I have talked to a number of breeders prior to him and they were also pretty knowledgeable but Marcus went above and beyond to make sure the dog I was purchasing from him is what I wanted. Over a five-year span Marcus and I have become pretty good friends and I have been to his home a number of times. Marcus and his wife Yvette have shown me nothing but hospitality and kindness. From day one Marcus has told me that his line would be open 24/7 for any information needed about my then new dog and even the dog I had at home. Well the time arose when I was having technicalities with breeding and sure enough Marcus was right by my side and walked me through things day or night.. My attempts of breeding during the past five years have had some ups and downs, through the ups he has only wished me the best of success.... through the downs , he always gives me the best of advice and gives me the confidence to pick myself up and never give up. Through a couple of other people I know who deal with Marcus they have all said the same things about him. He has taught me so much from handling my dog to basically teaching me how to be a vet LOL.. I highly recommend Marcus oldworldmastinos if you're looking for a Neo. He's an awesome dude and great guy all around!

I love Bengashe and I love Old World... I have admired many though... You aren't outclassed by any... You are I am sure will go down in the books as The Mastinari in Americas, which is never any easy title to attain, with the attitudes in the breed... I'm sure I am not the first to respect the life's work... Very Awesome Work!!!

I just want to take a moment to thank Marcus Curtis and his lovely bride for our amazing Old World experience! I waited for this amazing boy for over a year....every second was worth it. I lost my best friend Dozer about 18 months ago...he was 200lbs+ English and he followed me every where; we were buds. I waited 6 months and finally decided I was ready. I researched for weeks on line. When I found Old World Mastinos I knew I had found the perfect breeder--man was I right. I traded emails with Marcus and knew right away, in dealing with this professional and knowledgeable guy, that this was where I wanted to get my new pal. Throughout the process, he stayed in contact with me and offered a personal touch. When our litter was finally born, Marcus contacted me right away and told me my pup was born. They posted pics and videos every day! Through the convenient updates, the personal touch, and the selection process....all the way to my amazing pup arriving last night (100% safe and sound), I was 1000% impressed! I haven't even mentioned the quality of the puppy, from temperament to standards, he is everything I wanted. As you can see, it has been love at first sight! Thank you Marcus!!!!!!

I love this little booger more than anything!
We want to thank you and Yvette so very much for everything that you guys have done for us. From finding your website to staying in contact with us, answering any questions that we've had and preparing us for the day to come. Also by allowing us to go to your home and pick up our new baby boy has been the most wonderful experience that we've ever had. He is an amazing puppy and has exceeded our expectations.
Thank you for filling our home with so much love and joy!
Much love and respect,

This is J Howser . My Beautiful wife Rebecca and I are the Owner/Operators of the infamous Dark Mountain Mastiffs. Since I was boy I've been in love with big dogs. They fascinated me and even frightened me a little which stirred a great excitement and curiosity inside of me.
Rebecca and myself began doing rescue work for the large bully breeds and over the years we've rescued, owned and loved Cane Corsos, Presa Canarios, APBTs, American Bulldogs, Neos and more. Our fondness for the Neopolitan Mastiff is how we came to meet Marcus and Yvette Curtis.
We found Old World Mastinos after many months of researching the best breeders and looking at hundreds of different dogs we fell in love with none other than the world famous Don Vito.
Marcus and I hit it off instantly after expressing our passions about breeding these massive guardians. It was then that he explained to me that Don Vito is actually a registered American Molossus. My curiosity peeked. The rest is history.
Marcus and Yvette Curtis have truly resurrected an ancient breed and we at Dark Mountain Mastiffs are indeed grateful to be a part of this historical endeavor. Our Old World Euphrates is the daughter of the great Don Vito and the foundation of our own American Molossus Breeding program. She is magnificent. Special thanks to our remarkable friends Marcus and Yvette Curtis. We love you guys.
With Respect and High Regards,
Dark Mountain Mastiffs.
