About Us

We purchased our first Mastiff in 1992. She was a beautiful dark brindle girl named Victoria, aka Tory. She began our love affair and addiction to these magnificent animals. Tory was not a show dog (however she should have been. We didn’t know how nice she was till we later learned more about the breed). She was purchased as a pet and loving family member.

As far back as I can remember, I always had a dog. I grew up with Boston Terriers as a child. Later, when I was a teenager, I begged my parents for a German Shepard. I always wanted a “BIG” dog. I finally got my German Shepard as a graduation gift.

When I married, our first family dog was a Great Dane Mix. She was a wonderful companion to our 3 small children. Then one day, while shopping at the pet store, I found a book on Mastiffs. The minute I saw the dog on the cover I was hooked. I began to read about Mastiffs and the more I read and the more pictures I saw, the more I was mesmerized by them. When we went to “just look” at a Mastiff puppy, she was the last in the litter and of course my husband Tom said he knew we weren’t just going to look….there was no way I was coming home without this puppy. Little did I know at the time how much these wonderful creatures would impact our lives.

We purchased our second Mastiff Bozwell, aka “Boz” in 1994, he was my first show dog. Again, I was now hooked not only on Mastiffs, but the dog showing bug also bit me. I could actually go to a show, enjoy the competition and meet other people who were as “crazy in love” with the breed as myself….emphasis on “CRAZY”. I have met by best friends through the Love of Mastiffs and the Dog show world.

Since then we have been owned by 7 Mastiffs total. Our Tory went to the Rainbow Bridge last year at the age of 11. Bozwell was our first show dog, with whom I first learned about the show ring. We lost Boz at the young age of 2 ½ to Canine Epilepsy. You can read more about Boz on the MCOA Website under Health, or at: MCOA Health

All of our dogs are Champions or working their way towards their Championship. They are also always Owner Handled. Our 2 youngsters, Riggs and Rain are currently working their way towards their Championships. These 2 babies were our first breeding, and we are very proud of them. We waited a long time to produce our first litter and believe in only limited breeding.

Breeding Mastiffs is not our business, but is our Passion. Nor do we take any breeding lightly. Much forethought and planning goes into any breeding we undertake. We believe in breeding for Soundness of Mind and Body, correct breed conformation and type, while preserving the natural characteristics and instincts of the breed. As a breeder, we will always be here for any prospective owner for the life of the puppy they purchase
