Gosh where do I start? Well My love for God my kids all kids,my husband,soccer ,4-H and of course my dogs have always been my favorite things in my life. As a little girl I remember getting my very first Dog Encyclopedia. I learned every dog breed in the book in about 2 days and that was in between soccer games and babysitting. As a little girl my favorite dog breeds were the Golden Retriever, Labs and Cocker Spaniels. We were a big hunting family ( still are, although I don't kill anything, I just take pictures ) My Mother in Law calls me the animal whisperer.( and that was before Cesar !  Anyway I guess I am going to have to cut this as short as possible. I grew up in the country and we always had at least 5 dogs. My very first dog was a little fluffy dog and I begged my Dad to get him for me.He did : )  His name was Rufas and I was 6.5 yrs old. And thats all she wrote !. My goal as a child was to have 1 of every breed. I have had , labs ( Remmi ), Goldens( Miles and Winnie), Ridge-back,( Ziek)Huskies( Sugar and Touras),Sheppard's( Wolfie ), Shitzues/ Laso ( Rufas), Rots,(Rugar) Norwich,( Uno ) Hounds ( Jake , Sissy )Bulldogs (Rollie and Ellie ) Cattle Dogs ( to many to name ) Chawawas, how ever ya spell it ( Princess, MayBelle and Josiah) Pits ( Sugar and Tina ) and so on. Yeah there are more but I am cutting it short.

    In Short, I stared breeding at a young age, Mom started teaching me about breeds and everyday rules, like Don't pick the first one that you see ! Started breeding , breeding lead to rescue, 20+ years of rescue ( and on going )as a non profit ( DBA Red Dog Kennels and rescue) With rescue comes bad behaviors and with bad behaviors you cant place the dogs in new homes. That then lead to my behavior work, I started rehabilitating dogs for re homing.I found that the aggressive dogs were the biggest challenge for me, I love a challenge ! I received my first bite at about 10 yrs old. This lab / Shepard dog growled at me and he was tied up. I was pooped out and grumpy, just got finished getting cows in, hopped off of my pony and this dog lashed out at me , I told him with a good hand shaking " at 10 yrs old and about 50 lb soakin wet "Sit Down and be Quiet !"Well he didn't like that so he bit a 3 inch X 3 inch hole out of my left arm.Darn near the same shape and size as an eye socket. Could see the whole inside of my arm. Ewwwww. After it was all said and done, I knew that with that bite that I was going to save the dog world from all of the nasty Biting dogs. So I started raising biting dogs, Australian CattleDogs. LOVE the breed. I raised and rescued ACD's for20 years. After the challenge of the ACD's I needed a new breed. Did I mention that before the Cattle dogs and after the rescue I also raised hound dogs? not for long, not my breed! Yeah ! So while still running the rescue and now boarding dogs I was training and my name was getting out there for my behavior work. Well then came marriage and soon after our beautiful girls. I was needing a new breed and Loved Mastiffs when I came across the AM's. Loved the idea that the American Mastiffs was a controlled and protected breed. So I contact Fredericka Wagner. She was thankful for my passion for her breed and respected my background but the AMBC was not excepting new breeders. Well as I said , I love a challenge. I pulled together ALL of my history, recommendations, clientele letters of Thanks, pictures etc and sent it with no notice to Connie Hammond, the Vice Pres of the AMBC. She soon after contacted Fredericka and Fredericka contacted me. She said" You are just what we are looking for !" I said "really ?" Let me think about it : ) OK ummm let me think about it mmmmmmmmmm! Ok  So thats when it all began with my breeding the American Mastiffs. I am a behavioral specialist ,I home school my kids, I coach  club soccer and the JV girls soccer team @ Justin Sienna High School,I play on an indoor womens over 30 league( should be in an over 40 league), 4-H leader 20 yrs , involved in our 4-H camp program, I am married ( 20years now, to a wonderful man ) I collect horses, yes the alive kind,and love to hang with my family especially my nephew's and Nieces  and well, I hate to bore you any further. Thats pretty much my life in a nut shell. Oh yeah , I board dogs, train dogs and avoid people . Not really just some times. I don't like mean people or dumb people. Guess thats why I so appreciate my dogs, they are neither mean or dumb.
