Welcome to Glacier Mastiffs
Welcome to Glacier Mastiffs. We are located near beautiful Kalispell, Montana just 30 minutes from Glacier National Park. My husband and I moved here in 2001 when our kids graduated from high school and went off on their own. We live on a small farm we have 43 acres and have 13 Mastiffs, 8 Cows, 4 Horses, Chickens and cats. I love the country and beautiful landscape that surrounds me.
My Husband and I dreamed of owning Mastiffs for many years and decided in 2003 it was time. I retired from my job and felt I wanted to devote my life to these amazing animals. We now have a new focus in our life, being owned by these magnificant dogs. They provide us with love, devotion, laughter, and guardianship. Our Mastiffs are our family they are raised in our home and spend most of their time on the couch or on the bed. They love to snuggle close and be with me at all times they follow me around from room to room. Now I can not imagine my life without at least a Mastiff or two or three or more.
In fact, we just had to add on to our home to accomodate all the furry kids. They now have their own bedrooms, a feeding room, as well as having the run of the rest of house. They also have a 24X30 ft indoor kennel complete with 2 sofas and a full size bed for their comfort but are rarely in it except for the times I need to leave for town.
First and foremost they are our pets and constant companions, but we do show them in conformation, they all go through basic obedience, and some get their CGC certificates, and some are therapy dogs. They love people and especially kids, they get the "wiggle butts" when a child comes to pet them. We socialize them to a wide variety of situations they love to visit the feed stores and Petco. People are so intrigued by thier size and how gentle they are.
We will breed our Mastiffs for the show ring and as family companions. We will limit our breeding program to acheive the true Mastiff type, good health and excellent temperment. All our dogs are health tested and we follow the code of ethics set forth by the MCOA. All our dogs are in there forever homes. I do not believe in rehoming breeding girls or the Mastiffs that do not make it in the show ring. All these dogs are apart of my family now and forever. I breed for me and plan to keep puppies from every breeding to add to my breeding program. I have my breedings planned out for many generations and do not follow others plan but have my own. My goal is to create Mastiffs with great heads, body, muscle and lines.
Most reputable breeders want nothing more than to improve this breed through responsable breeding and education of their puppy buyers for life of the Mastiff.We hope you enjoy our site and we hope that you learn more about how special, and noble these dogs really are.
