Philosophy:
Head, Bone and Structure.
Adhering to the Mastiff standard will always be the goal of any breeding I do.
I like to see a dog that leaves no question to the casual observers eye that they are indeed looking at a Mastiff.
Not a Great Dane cross or a Bullmastiff, but a true English Mastiff.
At times I see Champion dogs that I think are way too leggy and light boned, yet there they sit, with their Champion title and not looking a thing like a mastiff.
Don't misunderstand me, I like to show, I like to get a Championship Title on my dog and I have seen some awesome dogs being shown. However a Championship Title does not automatically mean the dog is a perfect or near perfect example of the breed.
When I breed I will always be breeding for temperment, as well as looking to keep bone and substance in the pups I produce. Each breeding will have this as a blue print, an ideal that I will be striving for.
I will not sacrifice bone and substance for height, if I wanted to breed and show Danes those are the dogs I would have.
I however, am looking to breed a Mastiff. Not a knock off, not a slight boned, lightly built dog, but a big dog, big bones and and a fabulous head.
A mastiff I produce should resemble a Sherman Tank; blocky, heavily built and massive, yet capable of performing the task it was designed to do: Protect the family and homestead. Therefore, being a large dog, should not deter a certain amount of altheticism. A giant dog capable of short bursts of speed and relatively agile.
To that end, my foundation is built upon the hard work and dedication of many awesome breeders before me.
These breeders make up the foundation of my own dog's pedigrees:
Greiner Hall, Greco, Hollesely, Falmorehall, Bredarwine, Iron Hills, Gropetti, Greesons, Pallone, Erieside and others who, I believe, have bred some of the finest mastiffs over these many years.
