Brandy was my first mastiff. She is the reason I have such a passion for this breed. She was a gift to me in 1981. She went to work with me everyday, so she was my shadow. I worked at a vets office so she was well socialized with animals and people. She adopted bonkers and bobsey as you can see in this photo. When she passed away I thought I would never have another mastiff. But as you can see they have stole my heart and soul.
I breed and show as a hobby. I suppose you could call me a sport breeder. I do not breed for income, only for the love of the breed. I do strive to produce pups for the betterment of the breed. Health Testing is only a tool and it allows us the knowledge of how to breed. But it is not a gaurantee that a litter will turn out as you had hoped. Their are recessive genes that will take over when a breeding takes place, some that you are unaware of.

Valaria's Kayla was born the same day as my Brandy was..of course it was fate. I had to have her. I brought her home at 9 weeks old and she was a loving companion to my family for 11 1/2 years. She was a sweet soul.

RIP sweet KK Feb 19,1990 to July 2002

Nobels Turk of Castle Creek was brought home at 12 weeks old. He was to be my first real show dog (so I thought). Turk hated the ring, he would do it but only because I asked it of him. I even tried a pro handler and still he hated it. Brindles were not looked at much in the show ring back than which made it even more discouraging to show him. He had a beautiful head and nice movement. I retired him from the ring and he became just a family member. He was a happy camper. OFA-Good.

RIP Turkey Boy Sept 6,1991 to Oct-1999
