Meet the breeder

I'm Linda M., the breeder behind River’s Crossing Brittanys and Maestra Bullmastiff located in Hesperia, CA. My passion is to breed top-quality puppies and connect them with loving forever homes. I have been breeding for over 30 years! I enjoy showing my dogs in conformation and also work with a professional trainer and handler. I title all of my breeding dogs and pay attention to health, temperament, conformation, and working ability with each carefully planned litter. I look forward to connecting with you!

Q. & A. with Linda

Why did you start breeding?
My dogs are excellent representations of their breed, and I am proud to continue their line. I breed to help ensure the future of the Brittany and Bullmastiff and to improve upon my dogs' fantastic traits with each generation. It's been a joyful commitment, and it is a pleasure to live with, work with, and share with others these wonderful dogs.
What makes your program special?
I am a premier, experienced, and ethical breeder of quality Bullmastiff and Brittany puppies. My dogs are titled in the show ring and excellent representations of their standard. I am dedicated to always having responsible policies when it comes to breeding, training, and rehoming my pups. Every litter is always a little different, but it is so fulfilling to see the different personalities and such a joy and challenge to hand-raise each puppy. I love watching them blossom!
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Bullmastiff puppies include red fawn brindle, red fawn, red brindle, fawn, red, and fawn brindle. Brittany puppies include white and orange, white and liver, orange and white, and liver and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
