Q. & A. with Amy
Why did you start breeding?
Throughout the years Amy had several Goldens but always loved the look of the Bullmastiff, she knew one day she would have one.
In 2004 she purchased her first Bullmastiff and the rest is history!!
What makes your program special?
Amy is passionate about matching up the right dogs and pedigrees to ensure optimal health, temperament and longevity in the puppies she produces. Matching the right puppy to the right family is something she doesn't take lightly and does formal temperament testing on every puppy to ensure each family gets a dog that truly fits into their lifestyle and household.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red fawn, red, fawn brindle, fawn, and red brindle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
