Sarah & Voltaire (15 months)

**Billie & Voltaire's litter was born 6-19-08.   There is one very large, 8 week old, fawn girl available.   There is also a 4 month old light fawn girl available NOW from the Lane Family, who provided my new brindle girl from Voltaire's half-brother.  The photos of both girls can be seen on the "Available Puppies" page.***

 

We are lovers of the English Mastiff breed and have several of our own mastiffs (and a few other pets) in southwestern Michigan. Some might think we're nuts, but our animals are ALL inside-although they regularly romp their 5 acre plot running after frogs, and after the cranes and the geese that fly by.

At just shy of 2, Voltaire is 230 lbs.  He is 33 1/2 inches at the shoulder and is still growing.  He was Penn Hipped on September 14th and there is no evidence of djd (degenerative joint disease) or cavitation.

Billie is 150 lbs. (pre-pregnancy) and is 28 at the shoulder at just over 3 years.  She was Penn Hipped on September 7th and there is no evidence of djd (degenerative joint disease) or cavitation.  Her grand-dam was 220 and she is throwing large pups based on those genetics.  Her daughter, who I kept back last time, is 6 months and already 28 at the shoulder and 103 lbs.

All of our pups come with a 2 year written guarantee, are vet checked, have their 8 week puppy shots, and are microchipped. Our animals are our babies and we treat them that way. Our litters are limited and we only place pups in homes that plan on treating their mastiff lovingly and as a member of their family.

We hope this site will give you some useful foundation information on the English Mastiff and a great idea of the lines our babies come from. We certainly enjoyed creating it!  Please feel free to contact us anytime to talk "Mastiff".  The quickest way to contact us is by emailing us at dfranke716@hotmail.com.  You may also try our home at 269-763-3836 or our cell at 269-209-2226.
