It's 2019, We're Bringing It Back! Holy cow, where has the time gone? My 2019 New Years resolution. Get this blog going again. I know a lot of folks still use the site for information, but I'm going to be adding lots of new stuff this year. So let me reintroduce you to us. What We’ve Been Up To, A Griffin Family Update Well, as you can see I haven’t updated the site in around a year. I have a ton of info posted and get hits on it and comments weekly, so I feel it’s still a great resource to have for people, so I thought I’d give a quick update. Family: We purchased a 150 acre farm in Randolph County, MO in August and moved in. We love it! It's like a hiking trip for the dogs every day, they get to help me take care of all the barn critters, there are several ponds to play in and open fields and woods to explore. Read More...

It’s been 3 weeks since Brinkley’s babies arrived and I’m just now getting time to update the website and blog. Welcome Brinkley x Wally babies, Lana (Brindle girl), Archer (fawn boy), Cheryl (fawn girl) and Pam (fawn girl). All babies were born healthy and BIG, 1lb 14oz down to 1lb 8 oz. and have since been growing like weeds. They are all starting to show their own little personalities and are running around like heathens! Read More... Valentines Day 2014 Happy Valentines Day! Brinkley's pregnant!

Intl.Ch.Harvest Haze Griffin's On The Brink Brinkley earned her International Championship the first weekend in November! Her overall comments from the judges were “very typey bitch, balanced, solid” and “great representative of breed”. I didn’t get a picture, but here is a picture of her I took this weekend. And to top if off I got the results back on her hips and elbows. That complete's her health testing. She is the healthiest Mastiff she could be! Read More... Horseplay in the Yard I just love the expressiveness of this breed! While it is still pretty miserable here in regards to the heat, we were able to spend about 20 minutes (in a row!) in the yard the other evening. I got some great shots of the puppers. Enjoy! Read More... Happy Independence Day from Boone & Brinkley Please remember that your pup might not enjoy the fireworks and festivities as much as you (and your annoying neighbors) do, so make sure fido has a 'safe' place to hide and feel comfortable. Brinkley will probably be in bed with us tonight, not that that's much different from any other night. Anyway, enjoy your holiday and be safe everyone. Read More...

How We Chose Our Name Most of us involved with Mastiffs have heard or read the quote from the 1800 version of the Cynographia Britannica: "What the Lion is to the Cat the Mastiff is to the Dog, the noblest of the family; he stands alone, and all others sinking before him. His courage does not exceed its temper and generosity and in attachment he equals the kindest of his race." I don't know why, but I always really loved this quote, maybe because it does ring so true to our breed. Read More...
