News Stories from our life with English Mastiffs.
Our Mastiffs are an important part of our everyday life. Here we share stories from dog shows, everyday adventures, journeys, puppies, special encounters and everything currently happening at Celtic Mountain.
A glimpse into our life
More than breeding and dog shows.
At Celtic Mountain, our Mastiffs are right at the heart of everyday family life. That is why we want to share more than show results or planned litters – we also tell the many small and memorable stories that make life with this remarkable breed so special.
From days out and events to Mastiff gatherings, journeys and experiences involving breeding, health and everyday life, these stories gradually create a genuine picture of our dogs and our family.
