Q. & A. with Linda
Why did you start breeding?
I fell in love with the breed while showing Saint Bernards..the Mastiffs usually were right next to the Saints and I saw how gentle they were. I had to have one. I acquired my first mastiff in 1972 and never looked baa..once you own a mastiff there is just no other breed!What makes your program special?
Raising my puppies in my home..enjoying them every moment. I have always made my breeding decisionss based on quality and producing the best dogs ever, no expense spared.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include apricot, fawn, and brindle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
