After much research in dog breeds, we decided that the American Mastiff was the perfect dog breed for our family. American Masitffs are gentle, quiet dogs that do not need a lot of exercise. They are very friendly, happy family dogs. We love their impressive features and size, and are quite happy they do not drool as much as the English Mastiff. We brought Benson home in 2006, and quickly realized what a perfect fit he was for our family. Our love of our big guy and our admiration for the American Mastiff Breeder's Council led us to apply to become breeders of these gentle giants. We were thrilled when, in Jan. 2009, we were approved as breeders.
We currently have six AM's - Benson (who was purchased as a pet and is not part of our breeding program), Bonnie Blue, Bristol Lynn, Boaz, Bonnie's Fabuous Fiona (our BFF!), and Bosco - our newest additon. Our breeding dogs are being raised the same as Benson - pets that are part of our family. American Mastiffs are "velcro" dogs and want nothing more than to be next to you. All of our dogs enjoy being in the house with us, roaming the property with us, going for car rides with us.... basically just being with us!!
Benson - the guy that started it all! Benson was bred by Connie Hammond of Sycamore Creek Kennels. He is an amazing dog and we feel blessed to have him!
Boaz at 8 weeks. Boaz is our future stud male and was bred by Fredericka Wagner of Flying W Farms. Boaz is happy, playful, curious and loving - and is already velcroed to our sides!
Bonnie Blue at 8 weeks. Bonnie is our first breeding female. She was bred by Fredericka Wagner of Flying W Farms. Bonnie is a sweet, gentle darling who has quickly found a place in our hearts.
