"What the Lion is to the cat, the Mastiff is to the dog, the noblest of the family, he stands alone and all others sink before him.  His courage does not exceed his temper and generosity, and in attachment he equals the kindest of his race.  His docility is perfect: the teasing of the smaller kinds will hardly provoke him to resent, and I have seen him down his paw the terrier or the cur that has bit him without offering further injury in a family he will permit the children to play with him, and suffer all their pranks without offense."  Cynographia Brittanica

GLACIER MASTIFFS

    

Welcome to Glacier Mastiffs.  We are located near beautiful Kalispell, Montana just 30 minutes from Glacier National Park.  My husband and I moved here in 2001 when our kids graduated from high school and went off on their own.  We live on a small farm we have 43 acres and have a lot of Mastiffs, a few Cows, a couple Horses, Chickens and cats.  I love the country and beautiful country that surrounds me.

My Husband and I dreamed of owning Mastiffs for many years and decided in 2003 it was time. I retired from my job and felt I wanted to devote my life to these amazing animals. We now have a new focus in our life, being owned by these magnificant dogs.  They provide us with love, devotion, laughter, and guardianship. Our Mastiffs are our family they are raised in our home and spend most of their time on the couch or on the bed.  They love to snuggle close and be with me at all times they follow me around from room to room. Now I can not imagine my life without at least a Mastiff or two or three or more.

In fact, we just had to add on to our home to accomodate all the furry kids. They now have their own bedrooms, a feeding room, as well as having the run of the rest of house. They also have 2- 24X30 ft indoor kennels complete with sofas for their comfort a small kitchen, heating and cooling air fans but they mostly roam free exploring.

First and foremost they are our pets and constant companions, but we do show them in conformation, they all go through basic obedience, and some get their CGC certificates, and some are therapy dogs.  They love people and especially kids, they get the "wiggle butts" when a child comes to pet them. We socialize them to a wide variety of situations they love to visit the feed stores and Petco. People are so intrigued by thier size and how gentle they are.

We breed our Mastiffs for breed standard and attempt to better ourselves with each breeding. More importantly we breed for family companions. We limit our breeding program to acheive the true Mastiff type, good health and excellent temperaments.  All our dogs are health tested and we follow the code of ethics set forth by the MCOA. All our dogs are in thier forever homes.  I do not believe in rehoming breeding girls or the Mastiffs that do not make it in the show ring.  All these dogs are my family now and forever.  I breed for me and plan to keep puppies from every breeding to add to my breeding program.  I have my breedings planned out for many generations and do not follow others plan but have my own. My goal is to create Mastiffs with great heads, body, muscle and lines.

I am very proud of the pedigrees of my dogs. Our Pedigrees include Greco, Greiner Hall, Hollesley, Tamarack, Fortescue, Jengren, Millcreek, Chagrin, Bulliff, Odinlair, Cedwalla,Storm and Falmorehall to name a few.

Glacier Mastiffs is here to educate you on Mastiffs and their needs. Please call or e-mail me with any questions. I am here to support the Mastiff whether you get a puppy from me or not. We hope that through proper education you will not support backyard breeders, puppy mills or pet stores.

Most reputable breeders want nothing more than to improve this breed through responsable breeding and education of their puppy buyers for life of their Mastiff.

We hope you enjoy our site and we hope that you learn more about how special, and noble these dogs really are.
