Here are a few pictures I captured of our handsome guy, Bogart. We've just celebrated his first birthday on December 30'th, but know he's not yet done filling out to his true adult size. Bo, as we call him, is a wonderful Doberman with a gentle but courageous spirit who loves us deeply. His best pal is our 2 year old son Benjamin, whom Bo adores. He also shares our home with Toggle, our Rat Terrier...but often the two of them spend a lot of time determining who's the boss around here. Bo loves to ride in the truck, and swims/retrieves as enthusiastically as any Lab I've seen. We love our big guy so much, even though he is the typical "pesty" Dobe at times (relentless counter-surfing/attempts to climb on couch/chewing anything within reach), we wouldn't trade him for the world. Enjoy the pictures, and keep up the great work!!

Roxanne and Kane are Great Swiss Mtn Dog siblings
Loved by Sharyn

I was a 'mastiffmommy' for over 20 years, that was when I bought so many things from your 'Pyraphernalia' catalog.........Darn Mastiffs just don't live long enough, and I lost my last boy at just 4 years old due to cancer of the kidneys.......that totally devastated me!! I've been researching 'Swissies' and now I'm a Swissie mommy. They are both 5 MO. Old. Litter mates.........The little red girl is the product of the 'recessive' gene..........she has no black on her, but I fell in love with her face, so I got them both.... Isn't she a Cutie!! The boy is 'Kane' and she is 'Roxanne' [named her after a song by Sting]

Sugar and Spice are Mastiff sisters, 12 weeks old
Loved by Scott from Dallas, TX

Hi there, I was looking around online for stuff to buy my son with Mastiffs on it and I came across your website. I could not agree with you more about the big dogs being so much more interesting that the little yelping dogs that always get the attention.

... I got my first Mastiff in 1997 and have been in love with the breed ever since! Unfortunately, our family (wife, son, and I) lost our most recent Mastiff in August to a rare fungal disease that large breed puppies are susceptible to. She was only 17 months old when we had to put her down.

However, I would never bring anyone down like that if I didn't have a happy ending for you! We contacted the breeder we used last time and they had just had the last litter they were planning on having with their dogs and there were only 2 girls and 1 boy left. We decided to get BOTH girls! They are only 14 weeks old right now but they are already almost 40 lbs. If they get as big as their older sister we use to have, they'll be about 32 inches to the shoulder and around 190 lbs by the time they are 3! We can't wait. Their names are Sugar and Spice. Hope you enjoy the pictures and keep on promoting those big dogs!

Roxi just turned 8 in May and Harley was 2 in March. Having the two of them has enriched our lives so much! Roxi had knee surgery last year and has not let that slow her down one bit! Harley was diagnosed earlier this year as hypothyroid, so we're working on getting his weight back down.

I love the offerings on your website....
Thanks for highlighting 'real dogs'!

Tank is a mixed breed.
Loved by Beth from Shoreview, MN

Tank is a Mastiff/Rott/Cocker mix, go ahead and giggle, everyone does. This was taken about a year ago. Tank is currently 105-106 lbs and is just over 2 1/2yrs old. Tank is our baby, well compared to the 3 children we have. We got Tank when he was about 9 weeks old, when he was 6 months old he was hit by a car. He survived with bruised lungs, no broken bones or internal bleeding, we were very lucky. He did spend the weekend in an emergency vet, and we had to feed him boiled hamburger, canned chicken, mashed potatoes, yogurt and oatmeal, for quite awhile. He couldn't eat his regular hard food it would make him cry and one time convulse in pain, so his vet thinks he also bruised his esophagus. He is a very lovable boy, he likes to think he is a lapdog, we need to remind him periodically that he isn't. He is always at the door, hogging the entryway, when I get home. I couldn't imagine my life with out him in it.
