A few days ago my heart was shattered and all I could do was cry. I found a post by this man looking for an older mastiff and I felt compelled to message him. 15 hours later he was sitting on the floor in my living room with my Austin and I just knew they were meant to be together. Thank you Wayne from the bottom of my heart. I know God pointed me in your direction that night. You helped heal a piece of my heart and I will forever be grateful to have met you.
Please feel free to respond to this post with your story

I haven't posted anything recently because there's always a few people that will go on the attack. However I'm still looking for a retirement home for Montana. Please note I said a retirement home not a rescue. Montana has never been rescued from a bad home She's never been mistreated or starved and no she was not bred till she was used up. She's simply looking for a new home where she can get all the attention she deserves . Unless I find the perfect situation for her she will happily live out her life with me. That being said, She's 6 and a totally awesome girl. She does have some arthritis in her back so she has a hard time with stairs however has no problem getting on the bed both my bed and the toddler beds I have around the house. She's great with my grandkids does fine with most other dogs . Montana does need to be fed separately as she doesn't want anyone else stealing her food. She is intact though and will be placed with the agreement her new owner will spay her. In the house she's a total couch potato but she does enjoy laying in the sun and relaxing on nice days. Montana is going to make the right family an awesome companion. She's very loving and affectionate but equally lazy. Feel free to text me if interested in my beautiful girl. Jen 353-427-4383. Located in Morriston, FL. Now for all the Scrooges out there, I have been involved with mastiffs for over 38 years. Yes I have bred responsibly and I have also worked with mastiff rescue and done rescue on my own. I always take back any of my dogs that need to come back no matter what the reason and yes I do work to find the best homes for them. I have many breeder friends thats lives have taken a different direction and it's usually these dogs I try to find homes for. In the next few weeks I will be taking in 4 more mastiffs that originally came from a dear friend of mine and once I've evaluated them I will be posting them for adoption as well. I'd really appreciate it if going forward we can avoid the negative comments and the attacks on my character. If you just can't help yourself then go ahead but those remarks will be deleted and you will be blocked as well.

Montana is now pending with a meet and greet scheduled

🐾
Meet Bo, a 4-year-old English Mastiff who’s fully AKC registered and intact. Bo is a big, strong boy with a lot of energy and personality. He’s been through obedience training and knows his basics, but he would definitely benefit from a refresher class. He is by far one of the most loving affectionate dogs you could ever want to meet. Bo would make anyone feel safe and secure by his size and bark alone. Recommended for someone who has enough room for him to run and play. He is house and potty trained but loves to be outside in good weather. Probably not best for someone with small children because he does not know his size and could easily knock someone down. His favorite past time is playing in the water hose. He does want to be alpha dog and loves his food and treats. Located in Morriston, FL
• Rehoming fee: yes to be discussed.
📍 Serious inquiries only, please.�We’re looking for Bo’s forever home — please do not reach out unless you’re ready to make a lifelong commitment.

Every breeder knows this moment
that little buzz on your phone a few days after a puppy goes home.

The message starts sweet:
“We love her, but…”

You already know what’s coming next. But she barks... he nips....She wines in the crate....He cries at night... She’s just “needy.”

And it breaks your heart a little, because what they’re describing isn’t a “problem.”

It’s a puppy.

A baby learning the world outside their mom and littermates. They’re confused, overstimulated, excited, and scared sometimes all at once.

That’s normal.

People want easy. They want the version they see online. The one that sits calmly, never chews a shoe, and never makes a sound.

They forget that behind every well-mannered dog is someone who put in the work, the patience, the boundaries, the grace.

When someone says, “He’s adorable, but I don’t think we’re a good fit,” what they often mean is: I wanted the love without the learning curve.

Even the most beautifully raised puppies don’t come pre-programmed. They come ready to grow with you. To learn your rhythms, your tone, your energy. They don’t need perfection they need patience.

Breeders work hard introducing their puppies to the crate, to house breaking, to commands, to the world. But that's just it, they are Introductions. It's your job to continue their learning.

Some people confuse an easy puppy with a good one. But the truth is, every puppy is good they’re just new.
And new things are messy before they’re magical.

As breeders, we see it all. We comfort the ones who come back scared, unsure, wondering what they did wrong. We remind them softly: “You didn’t do anything wrong, baby.”

Because it’s never their fault that someone wasn’t ready for the hard parts that make the best parts possible.

Raising a puppy isn’t instant. It’s sleepless nights, puddles on the floor, little teeth on fingers and the sweetest bond you’ll ever build.

A puppy isn’t a project, or a phase, or something to “try.”

It’s a commitment. A piece of your heart on four legs.

If you’re not ready for the messy parts of puppyhood, that’s okay, just wait until you can give your whole heart.

Because these little souls deserve nothing less.

THE TEARS BEHIND EVERY DOG BREEDER’S JOURNEY.

People see the strong dogs... the perfect litters… the big kennel names.
But they never see the tears behind it all.

They don’t see the sleepless nights beside a fading puppy…
The heartbreak when a breeding fails after months of planning…
The pain of losing a dog that carried your dream in its bloodline.

Breeding isn’t fame. It’s faith, sacrifice, and scars.
It’s giving your heart to lives that can’t speak but understand you deeper than words.

Every true breeder knows that pain, the one you hide behind a proud smile.
Because only breeders know what it means to cry over a whelping box and still rise again.

So when you see a strong kennel…
Remember, it was built with love, loss, discipline, and tears.

Behind every great dog…
There’s a breeder who gave a part of their heart beat.

Copied from another breeder but so true!
