Freedom

Freedom is heavily line bred from Hollesley Medicine Man, arguably the greatest show Mastiff of all time, who appears at least 66 times in his pedigree, with a heavy concentration around generation 10-12. More recently, he is line bred on GCH CH Deer Creek's Cletus II. Freedom's father, CH Deer Creek's Otis, is a Cletus son. And Freedom's mother is a full sibling to Cletus. I am still working to complete Freedom's extended pedigree, and when I do you'll be able to read more about the amazing dogs that make up the foundation of his bloodline. There are so many more besides Medicine Man, and I have only begun to scratch the surface.

Size

The male line weighs in around 235-250. We are very excited about what he brings to our program! Since we have such large girls already, it was a challenge to find a male big enough to do the job naturally. Freedom is actually our second try, and we are thrilled with his calm temperament and massive structure. We have not weighed him yet, and he is not done growing. His father, CH Otis, is 250 lbs. His grandfather/uncle, GCH Cletus is 235 lbs.

We measured Freedom on May 29, 2026 at only a year and a half old. He was 30.5" at the withers. The video is available on our YouTube. Mastiffs are known to grow up for 2 years and out for 2 years.

Planned OFA Health Testing

Freedom turns two years old in September 2026 and will complete his OFA evaluations after reaching the appropriate age.

Planned testing includes:

✅ OFA Hips

✅ OFA Elbows

✅ OFA Cardiac Evaluation

✅ OFA Eye Examination (CAER)

Results will be posted here as they become available.

Ongoing Evaluation

As Freedom has matured, we have observed some additional skin beneath the eyes (common in the breed). At this time, he appears comfortable and fully functional, with no signs of irritation or eyelashes contacting the eye surface.

Because head development continues throughout maturity in giant breeds, we will continue monitoring this trait as part of our overall evaluation process and will take it into account in future breeding decisions.

Our preference is for tighter eyes, which is a trait consistently found throughout our female lines. We believe Freedom is a complementary match because he brings exceptional size, substance, and breed type, while our females contribute many of the functional characteristics we value. Our goal is to combine the strengths of both lines as we continue building future generations.
