About the Breeder:
ARISTOCRAT BULLMASTIFFS: BREEDING FOR EXCELLENCE IN HEALTH, TEMPERAMENT, LONGEVITY, CONFORMATION-RAISING PUPS FROM DECADES OF GENERATIONS OF OUR DOGS (CALLED OUR LINE) KNOWING THE GENETICS OF OUR LINE AND BREEDING ONLY THE BEST OF THE BEST, WE WILL NEVER INBREED OUR DOGS (MEANING BREEDING CLOSE RELATIVES LIKE MOTHER TO SON, BROTHER TO SISTER, ETC.) WHICH IS COMMONLY DONE BY TOO MANY BREEDERS, LINE BREEDING MEANS BREEDING RELATED DOGS JUST A LITTLE LESS CLOSELY AND THE ONLY REASON IT IS DONE IS TO MAINTAIN A CERTAIN ¡§LOOK¡¨ BUT THE COST IN SUCH SHALLOW GENE POOL IS VERY HIGH-IT¡¦S NO DIFFERENT THAT WITH HUMANS AND IS NOT SEEN IN NATURE FOR A VERY GOOD REASON!) OUR PRIORITY LIES WITH BREEDING FOR THE BEST TEMPERAMENT, HEALTH, LONGEVITY AND GORGEOUS CONFORMATIONS IS A BONUS-OUR DOGS LIVE WELL INTO THEIR TEENS, OUR OLDEST WAS 16 WHEN WE MADE THE MOST DIFFICULT DECISION TO PUT HIM TO SLEEP WHEN THE LIGHT WENT OUT OF HIS EYES-I THINK THEY ALWAYS TELL YOU IN THEIR OWN WAY WHEN IT IS TIME, I COULD NOT ENDURE THE PAIN (THAT NEVER TRULY GOES AWAY) OF LOSING OUR OLD ONES IF I DIDN¡¦T HAVE PART OF THEM IN OUR YOUNGER ONES THAT WILL ALWAYS LIVE ON! ALL OF OUR PUPS COME WITH A WRITTEN LIFE TIME HEALTH & 2 YR TEMPERAMENT GUARANTEE. OUR PUPS ARE FROM VERY CAREFULLY SELECTED/SCREENED PARENTS-WE ARE OWNED BY A LICENSED VETERINARIAN WITH AN ADDITIONAL MASTER'S DEGREE IN PARASITOLOGY AND SPECIALIZING IN ORTHOPEDICS & REPRODUCTION (JASON L. ORR, BS, MS, DVM AND A SUZAN DEXTER, CANINE BEHAVIORAL THERAPIST & TRAINER MEM. APDT # 73757, CERT. AKC CGC EVALUATOR # 8219, THERAPY DOGS INT. # 051659, MEM. ADOA, DIRECTOR RDOA & N. E. BULLMASTIFF RESCUE, BS, MBA, EMERGENCY/SURGICAL VET TECH. SPECIALIZING IN GENETICS/REPRODUCTION/CARE OF NEONATES, CANINE ETHOLOGY/BEHAVIOR & EMERGENCY SURGERY. BOTH STAYING ON THE CUTTING EDGE OF VETERINARY SCIENCE ATTENDING YEARLY VETERINARY CONFERENCES. WE ARE IN THE ANIMAL HEALTH CARE BUSINESS; OUR BREEDING IS A LOVE & A PASSION NOT A BUSINESS WHICH IS WHY I AM NOT ALWAYS AVAIL. TO ANSWER PHONE CALLS & EMAILS, WHICH I APOLOGIZE FOR BUT I¡¦M THE ONLY ONE WHO TAKES CARE OF MY DOGS AND THEY ALWAYS COME FIRST!!! I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR CARE AND TAKE THIS RESPONSIBILITY VERY SERIOUSLY; MY DOGS ARE EXTREMELY WELL CARED FOR! I DO ALL THEIR CARE-GROOMING-EXERCISE-TRAINING MYSELF WORKING WITH THEM INDIVIDUALLY AND AS A GROUP. WE ALSO DO EDUCATIONAL VISITS TO SCHOOLS AND LIBRARIES, AND THERAPY DOG VISITS TO LOCAL HOSPITALS AND NURSING HOMES WHICH THE DOGS LOVE. AT THE SCHOOLS I TEACH CHILDREN HOW TO BEHAVE AROUND DOGS THEY DON¡¦T KNOW OR IF THEY ENCOUNTER A LOSE DOG, IF I CAN SAVE CHILDREN FROM BEING BITTEN AND DOGS FROM BEING KILLED THEN IT IS WELL WORTH MY TIME AND EFFORT, SO BECAUSE OF THIS I AM NOT ALWAYS ABLE TO ANSWER YOUR INQUIRES ABOUT OUR PUPPIES, I WISH I COULD BUT I HAVE TO HAVE PRIORITIES GIVEN THERE IS ONLY ONE OF ME AND 24 HOURS IN A DAY. BUT IF YOU WANT THE BEST PUPPY YOU CAN GET AND THE BEST EXPERT SUPPORT THEN PLEASE BE PERSISTENT! WE DO NOT HAVE A KENNEL, OUR DOGS ARE ALL HOUSE DOGS AND ALLOWED ON THE FURNITURE ƒº OUR NURSERY IS CENTRALLY LOCATED IN OUR HOME WITH SLIDING GLASS DOORS SO THE PUPS GET TO SEE EVERYTHING THAT GOES ON IN A NORMAL HOUSEHOLD-WELL ONE FILLED WITH BULLMASTIFFS, THEY ARE ABLE TO INTERACT WITH ALL THE OTHER DOGS AND MY GIRLS HAVE NO PROBLEMS AT ALL WITH ANY OF THE OTHER PACK MEMBERS COMING IN TO VISIT EVEN THE NEWBORN BABIES, BECAUSE THEY TRUST THE OTHER DOGS NOT TO HURT THEIR PUPS AS THEY TRUST ME. TEMPERAMENT IS A HUGE ISSUE BEING A BEHAVIORIST AND SEEING ALL THE PROBLEMS THAT CAN ARISE FROM LACK OF STIMULUS DURING EARLY DEVELOPMENT OR THE WRONG STIMULUS CAUSING PHOBIAS AND AGGRESSION. I DO EVERYTHING HUMANLY POSSIBLE TO GIVE MY PUPS THE BEST START, AND THIS STARTS BEFORE THEY ARE BORN SINCE THERE IS GOOD SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE PROVING STRESSED MOTHERS HAVE PUPS THAT ARE LESS CAPABLE OF DEALING WITH STRESS OR NEW THINGS IN THEIR ENVIRONMENT WHICH CAN LEAD TO ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS (THIS IS ALSO TRUE IN HUMANS)! WHAT THE PUPS ARE EXPOSED TO DURING EARLY DEVELOPMENT ALONG WITH A GOOD SET OF GENES TO BEGIN WITH MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN WHAT KIND OF TEMPERAMENT THE DOG WILL HAVE AS AN ADULT, I ALSO HIGHLY ENCOURAGE MY PUPPY PEOPLE (THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE ONE OR MORE OF MY PUPS) TO START OBEDIENCE TRAINING USING ONLY POSITIVE METHODS AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE, AND IF THEY CONTINUE ON TO BECOME CERTIFIED CANINE GOOD CITIZENS AND THERAPY DOGS I AM VERY PROUD OF THEM! WE ADORE THIS WONDERFUL BREED & UNTIL YOU¡¦VE ACTUALLY LIVED WITH A BULLMASTIFF YOU COULD NEVER IMAGINE HOW DEEPLY, TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY YOU CAN BE IN LOVE WITH A DOG!!! THEY ARE SO HUMAN ACTING ONLY THE BEST PART OF HUMANS, THEY SEEM TO KNOW WHAT YOU ARE THINKING ALL THE TIME AND THEY HAVE THE MOST EXPRESSIVE FACES, THEY CAN SPEAK VOLUMES WITHOUT SAYING A WORD! WE USE ONLY SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN TECHNIQUES IN RAISING OUR PUPS SO THEY HAVE EVERYTHING DONE RIGHT FROM THE TIME OF CONCEPTION! WE SPARE NO COST WHEN IT COMES TO OUR DOGS AND RAISING OUR BABIES, THEY GET THE BEST OF EVERYTHING! YOU CAN READ MORE ABOUT OUR BREEDING PHILOSOPHY AND OUR COMPLETE AND TOTAL DEDICATION TO PRODUCING ONLY THE BEST OF THE BEST PUPPIES ON OUR WEBSITE. WE WILL NOT BE A PART OF THE TOO MANY BREEDERS THAT ARE KNOWINGLY BREEDING DOGS THAT HAVE GENETIC DEFECTS, TEMPERAMENT PROBLEMS OR OTHER UNDESIRABLE ISSUES THAT INEVITABLY LEAD TO A BREED HAVING SO MANY HEALTH AND TEMPERAMENT ISSUES THAT THEY END UP DYING WAY TOO YOUNG, WE SEE TOO MANY BREEDS THIS HAS ALREADY HAPPENED TO IN OUR VETERINARY PRACTICE. QUITE FREQUENTLY HEALTH/TEMPERAMENT ISSUES ARE ASSOCIATED WITH A MUTATED COAT GENES SUCH AS TOTALLY WHITE BOXERS ARE ALWAYS DEAF, FAWN OR BLUE DOBES HAVE MANY SERIOUS HEALTH ISSUES AND ARE LUCKY TO MAKE IT TO THEIR 2ND BIRTHDAY, BERNIE¡¦S MOUNTAIN DOGS COMMONLY HAVE OSTEOSARCOMA (BONE CANCER) SAME WITH ROTTIES, BOXERS ARE FREQUENTLY DIAGNOSED WITH MANY FORMS OF CANCER, DALMATIANS¡¦ ARE BEING BRED TO THE POINT THAT THEY ARE ALMOST ALBINOS (WHICH ARE NOT NORMAL IN ANYWAY), COLLIES ARE BEING BRED TO ENHANCE THEIR LONG ¡§BOTTLE¡¨ MUZZLE BUT BECAUSE OF IT HAVE SUCH A SMALL SCULL THERE IS BARELY ROOM FOR A BRAIN, THE LIST GOES ON AND ON AND I DON¡¦T EVER WANT TO SEE BULLMASTIFFS END UP IN THIS LIST OF BREEDS THAT HAVE SUCH HOST OF HEALTH/BEHAVIORAL ISSUES-WE SEE THE SUFFERING THAT THESE PUPS AND THE PEOPLE WHO LOVE THEM ENDURE ALL BECAUSE OF BAD BREEDING. I¡¦VE SEEN ADS RECENTLY OF BULLMASTIFF BREEDERS SELLING LONG HAIRED PUPS AS ¡§SPECIAL BLESSINGS¡¨ AND PORTRAYING THEM AS BEING UNIQUE NOT ABNORMAL WHICH THEY ARE NOT NORMAL IN ANYWAY, THE LONG HAIR GENE IN BULLMASTIFFS USED TO BE SO RARE BUT THERE ARE TOO MANY BREEDERS NOW KNOWINGLY BREEDING DOGS WHO CARRY THIS GENE, IF A DOG THAT IS A CARRIER IS BRED TO A DOG THAT IS NOT THE PUPS WILL HAVE NORMAL COATS BUT THEY WILL PASS ON THE GENE TO EVEN THE NORMAL COATED DOGS THAT CAN THEN BE SOLD TO BE BRED AND CONTINUE TO PASS ON THIS GENE SO YOU CAN SEE HOW QUICKLY THIS CAN SPREAD¡KTHESE DOGS SHOULD BE NEUTERED/SPAYED ONCE THE BREEDER KNOWS THEY ARE A CARRIER AND MOST ESPECIALLY SINCE WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT OTHER BEHAVIORAL OR MEDICAL ISSUES ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS GENE MUTATION. I HAVE ALWAYS WORKED VERY HARD TO PROTECT THIS BREED THAT I ADORE AND TO TRY MY VERY BEST TO EDUCATE OTHER BREEDERS SO THAT THE FUTURE OF THE BULLMASTIFF WILL NOT FALL TO DECLINE WITH SO MANY HEALTH PROBLEMS SUCH AS OTHER BREEDS ALREADY HAVE. UNFORTUNATELY THE BREEDERS I¡¦VE SPOKEN WITH WHO ARE KNOWINGLY BREEDING DOGS THAT DO NOT HAVE NORMAL GENES DO NOT TAKE MY CONCERN AS BEING HELPFUL AND THEY BECOME VERY NASTY ABOUT IT! IF THEY CARED AS MUCH ABOUT THE BREEDS FUTURE AS THEY DID ABOUT MAKING MONEY THEY WOULDN¡¦T DO THE THINGS THEY DO AND IT¡¦S VERY SAD. SO BECAUSE I¡¦VE TRIED TO HELP THE BREED NOW THESE BREEDERS SAY THAT THEY¡¦VE ¡§BLACK LISTED¡¨ ME-WHATEVER THAT MEANS¡KUGH! I¡¦VE HEARD FROM MANY PEOPLE THAT THEY¡¦VE TRIED SPREADING LIES ABOUT ME, WELL THE TRUTH ALWAYS PREVAILS AND I WELCOME ANYONE TO MY HOME TO SEE MY DOGS OR MY PUPPIES (WHEN I HAVE A LITTER) AND TO READ THE TESTIMONIALS ON MY WEBSITE FROM THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE MY PUPS/DOGS IF THEY CARE TO KNOW THE TRUTH, THEY MUST BE VERY INSECURE PEOPLE. I ENJOY SHOWING MY DOGS WHEN I CAN BUT HONESTLY COULD CARE LESS IF I GET A CHAMPIONSHIP ON THEM, A CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE DOESN¡¦T MEAN ANYTHING IN TERMS OF HEALTH, LONGEVITY OR TEMPERAMENT! I¡¦VE SEEN DOGS TITLED THAT HAD MANY FAULTS; IT HAS NO RHYME OR REASON. I ONLY STARTED SHOWING MY DOGS A FEW YEARS AGO, AND I KNEW NOTHING ABOUT IT, I TELL PEOPLE MY DOGS WIN DESPITE ME NOT BECAUSE OF ME ƒº BUT IT¡¦S FUN WHEN I CAN GET AWAY, BUT THAT¡¦S NOT TOO OFTEN AND I DON¡¦T TAKE IT TOO SERIOUSLY IT¡¦S FOR FUN AND THAT¡¦S THE WAY IT SHOULD BE, DOGS COULD CARE LESS ABOUT RIBBONS & TITLES AND SHOULDN¡¦T IT BE ABOUT THE DOGS? I AM ALWAYS HAPPY TO MENTOR AND HELP EDUCATE NEW BREEDERS IF THEY WANT TO BREED FOR THE RIGHT REASONS (AND MONEY ISN'T ONE OF THEM BECAUSE IF YOU BREED CORRECTLY YOU WON'T MAKE ANY MONEY!) AND THOSE THAT WILL HELP TO GUARD THE BREEDS FUTURE TO MAINTAIN THIS WONDERFUL BREED FOR WHAT THEY WERE INTENDED TO BE, LOVING FAMILY DOGS DURING THE DAY GETTING ALONG WELL WITH CHILDREN, CATS, OTHER SMALL PETS AND OTHER DOGS AND AT NIGHT THEY WERE BRED TO BE THE GAMES KEEPER¡¦S NIGHT DOG, AND ACTUALLY BRED NOT TO BITE UNLESS IT WAS THE ABSOLUTE LAST RESORT, THEY WILL GUARD WITHOUT TRAINING TO DO SO AND I DO NOT ADVOCATE TRAINING A BULLMASTIFF AS A GUARD DOG, THEY WILL NATURALLY PROTECT THEIR FAMILY! WE ARE NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR OUR SPRING/SUMMER'S PLANNED BREEDINGS (YOU CAN READ MORE OF OUR PLANNED BREEDINGS ON OUR WEBSITE). EMAIL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE FOR A PUPPY APPLICATION SINCE THE LIST IS FILLING UP FAST! THANK YOU FOR BEING A RESPONSIBLE PUPPY BUYER AND NOT BUYING A PUPPY FROM A PET STORE WHICH NO RESPECTABLE OR RESPONSIBLE BREEDER WOULD EVER SELL A LITTER OR PUPPIES TO A PET STORE NO BEING ABLE TO SCREEN THE POTENTIAL OWNERS OR KNOW WHERE THE PUPS END UP! MAKE SURE YOU GET MORE THAN THE REQUIRED ONE YEAR HEALTH GUARANTEE AND ASK FOR A TEMPERAMENT GUARANTEE AS WELL. IF YOU'VE DONE YOUR HOMEWORK, YOU KNOW THIS IS THE BREED YOU WANT, YOU ARE READY TO MAKE A GOOD INVESTMENT IN A WELL BRED DOG DON'T SETTLE FOR BARE MIN GUARANTEES-WHICH SHOULD BE A RED FLAG! IF A BREEDER IS CONFIDENT IN THE HEALTH OF THEIR LINE THEY WILL OFFER AT LEAST A 5 YEAR HEALTH GUARANTEE, WE OFFER A WRITTEN LIFE TIME HEALTH GUARANTEE AS WELL AS A 2 YEAR TEMPERAMENT GUARANTEE-WE ARE VERY CONFIDENT IN THE GENETICS OF OUR LINE! THANK YOU FOR CHECKING OUR WEBSITE AND DON'T FORGET TO CHECK OUT OUR VIDEOS AND PHOTO ALBUMS MOST ESPECIALLY THE PHOTO ALBUM OF PICTURES FROM MY PUPPY PEOPLE, THAT WAY YOU'LL KNOW WHAT KIND OF HOMES I AM LOOKING FOR MY BABIES-I AM VERY PICKY ABOUT THE HOMES I CHOOSE FOR MY PUPS SINCE PUPPIES/DOGS SHOULD BE FOR LIFE AND A LIFE LONG COMMITMENT HOWEVER WE WILL ALWAYS TAKE A PUPPY BACK REALIZING THAT UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES CAN HAPPEN AT ANYTIME. I AM NOT EASY TO GET IN TOUCH WITH UNFORTUNATELY SINCE I AM ALWAYS SO BUSY WITH THE DOGS AND AROUND HERE THE DOGS ALWAYS COME FIRST!!! BUT IF YOU WANT THE BEST PUPPY YOU CAN POSSIBLY GET WITH TWO PEOPLE WHO ARE BOTH SPECIALISTS IN MANY AREAS OF ANIMAL HEALTH AND BEHAVIOR-BE PERSISTENT-WE STAND BEHIND OUR PUPPIES & THEIR HUMANS 100% AND CAN SAVE YOU THOUSANDS OF $$$ IN VET BILLS BY ANSWERING ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE, YOU'LL HAVE A LICENSED VET AND CANINE BEHAVIORIST ON CALL WHEN YOU NEED A QUESTION ANSWERED & THERE IS NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE FOR OUR CONSULTATION THIS COMES ALONG WITH EACH OF OUR BABIES ALONG WITH EVERYTHING ELSE YOU NEED TO GET STARTED WITHIN A HUGE PUPPY KIT! I TRY TO ANSWER AS MANY PHONE CALLS AND EMAILS (FROM NEW PEOPLE INQUIRING ABOUT PUPS) AS I POSSIBLY CAN, BUT ALAS I AM ONLY HUMAN AND THERE ARE ONLY SO MANY HOURS IN A DAY, PET STORES OR PUPPY MILLS HAVE SOMEONE TO ANSWER YOU ALMOST IMMEDIATELY OF COURSE THEY DO-IT'S A BUSINESS OF MASS PRODUCTION PUPPIES AND THEY ARE ALWAYS THERE TO SELL, SELL, SELL!!! WE ARE BIG ADVOCATES AGAINST PUPPY MILLS!!!
