Linda’s experience
About Linda
Although I am very involved in showing my dogs, they are beloved companions first and foremost. I am so proud of their accomplishments in the ring and their wonderful temperaments and abilities at home! I strive for quality and excellence with everything that I do. Holding myself to high standards is paramount to the well-being of my dogs and to the integrity of my program. I am happy to tell you more about what life with a Brittany of Bullmastiff is like and how they will not only enhance your daily life, but exceed your expectations!

I am a premier, experienced, and ethical breeder of quality Bullmastiff and Brittany puppies. My dogs are titled in the show ring and excellent representations of their standard. I am dedicated to always having responsible policies when it comes to breeding, training, and rehoming my pups. Every litter is always a little different, but it is so fulfilling to see the different personalities and such a joy and challenge to hand-raise each puppy. I love watching them blossom!
