About il Drago Neapolitan Mastiffs

il Drago Neapolitan Mastiffs owned by Cassandra Boczar, located in Indianapolis Indiana, has been breeding Neos since 1996. We are currently one of the oldest established breeders in the US and are one of the few Neapolitan Mastiff AKC Breeders of Merit. Our pups are for the elite buyer seeking the ultimate estate guardian and family pet. We breed TRUE Italian style Mastini. We have been and are still actively showing our dogs and producing AKC champions. Our line consistently produces amazing heads coupled with a short stocky frame with wrinkle, mass and bone. The temperaments of our neos cannot be beaten, they are truly a living gargoyle, meek as lambs with their flock, but lions when the need arises for your person or property. Our pups start at $3500 for pet quality pups which are sold with Limited AKC registration and are REQUIRED to be spayed/neutered by 18 months of age. If you qualify and are interested in a pup that you can potentially show or breed in the future, pups with Full AKC registration start at $4000. We do offer shipping or you are welcome to come and pick up your pup. We also offer classic Mastino ear cropping at our vet before your pup is shipped. We do not lie about or embellish the sizes & weights of our dogs. Neapolitans are not meant to be 200 lbs. The average Neapolitan Mastiff male is 140-180 lbs. The average female is 120-140 lbs. Numbers greater than that are VERY rare and we suggest the proof on a scale if that is the claim. We offer a 12 month to 36 month hip & heart guarantee. Many breeders offer a 1 year guarantee if any at all. A one year guarantee is usually inadequate since often Neos' major health issues are not evident until after the first year of their growth. The average life span of a Neapolitan Mastiff is 6-8 years, giant breeds are not long-lived and can be extremely high maintenance. Keep that in mind and do your research.
