Tragic Update
It is with a
heavy heart, that our site needs to be updated at this time.
On March 31, 2007 while we were out to dinner, a gas leak
caused a devastating fire to our home. The house and contents
were a total loss. Five of our Mastiffs passed away inside our
home. If you look into the sky, you may notice five new stars.
They are ...

Many people
have emailed wanting to help. There really isn't much that can
be done right now. In the days and weeks following the fire,
we received a great deal of support from the Mastiff
community. Words are inadequate to express the depth of our
gratitude. Over the years, I have received many an email
complaining of how people have been treated by some breeders.
Please do not let those few, poison your opinions of Mastiff
breeders and owners as a whole. The Mastiff community is
filled with many caring individuals. We can all be a bit petty
at times, as showing is highly competitive, but in the end, we
look to each other in times of joy and sorrow. We are a tight
knit family, and I am very proud of many of our fellow Mastiff
fanciers.
If you have
tried to call us, you have already noticed that our phone is
not in service at this time. If you have one of our Mastiffs,
refer to your contracts, and you will find my cell phone
number on page one. While things may be unsettled right now,
we are available to our extended family members at all times.
Nothing will change this! So please, if anyone has any
questions or concerns, don't hesitate to call!
We are still
receiving many requests for puppies. We are not breeding at
this time. We may on occasion agree to a stud service with
Homer (Ch Cape Wind's Three Run Odyssey, CGC, TT, TDI), and
will announce any breeding plans here.
