Q. & A. with Elizabeth

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I purchased my first Mastiff in 2010 and fell in love with the breed. I contacted a local mastiff breeder at the time and she mentored me and helped with my first litter in 2012.

  • What makes your program special?

    I raise my puppies inside my home as part of the family till the day they leave, they know love and happiest from the day they are born.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our Mastiff puppies include apricot, fawn, and brindle. French Bulldog puppies include fawn, blue fawn, and black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    We truly could not have found a better breeder! We were incredibly fortunate to find our puppy when he was just days old, and we had the amazing opportunity to watch him grow from a tiny little potato into the adorable puppy he is today! Elizabeth was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process. From regular photo and video updates to FaceTime sessions, we truly felt like we were a part of our puppy’s life from the very beginning. By the time he was finally ready to come home, it honestly felt like we had known him forever! Elizabeth also went above and beyond to make sure he was healthy and ready for his new life with us. She took care of everything necessary, including his vaccinations and microchip, so he came home as prepared as possible for his forever family. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and are so grateful to Elizabeth for raising such a wonderful puppy and keeping us involved every step of the way. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, responsible, and trustworthy breeder!
