I'm really sorry I ever pinged you. The American Mastiff from Flying W Farms is a CKC registered breed. Breed origin is:

The American Mastiff (Flying W) is drymouthed. The drymouthness is due to the outcross of Anatolian which occurred early in the development of the breed. It is a large, massive, and powerful dog. The head is broad. The eyes are wide set and either amber or brown in color. Darker eyes are preferred. The neck is powerful. The chest is wide and deep. The back is muscular. The strong legs are wide set and heavily boned. The feet are large, round, and compact. The tail is wide at the root but tapers down its length and forms a slight curve. The coat is thick, dense, and short. The colors are fawn, apricot, and brindle. A black mask is present as well as a dark muzzle. Puppies are all born dark, and lighten as they grow older, some becoming very light fawn by age one year; some retain dark hairs. It is possible to have a small white patch on the foot, chest, or chin.

Developed by Fredericka Wagner at Flying W Farms by crossing the English Mastiff with a dog that was said to be an Anatolian Mastiff or Anatolian Shepherd. The resulting puppies had a firm tight lower lip line and did not drool; selective breeding thereafter kept the dry mouth.

Now, do me a favor, and accept the possibility that you may be in error.
