At the heart of everyday life

Life with our Mastiffs

Above all, our dogs are part of our family. They share our everyday lives, join us on outings and at events, and experience many small and memorable moments alongside us.

That includes happy and sometimes amusing experiences, but also health, preventive care, veterinary visits and unexpected situations. Here we collect personal stories and experiences from many years of living with English Mastiffs.
