Our Memberships

Whether Champion, pet or rescue, our dogs are, first and foremost, family members. They live in our home, sleep in our bed, and lounge on the furniture. We feel proper socialization is imperative to the well-rounded Bordeaux and they go most everywhere with us; the office, Home Depot, outdoor cafes and restaurants. Our friends and family members joke that they can spot us a mile away coming down the road, as there is a “big head” hanging out of the car window.

We are breed enthusiasts who love everything about these glorious animals. We breed occasionally and selectively, our mission to improve type, health and temperament. Our breedings are put together years in advance. We study and learn about the Bordeaux every day.

Twenty years of living with Bullmastiff rescues led us to our first Dogue De Bordeaux 8 years ago, our beloved Louis. He was a puppy-mill rescue whom we lost after 4 years, 10 months, 16 days and 9 hours of joy and following a courageous battle with lymphoma.

For years we have been active volunteers for a host of rescues: adopting, fostering, transporting, pulling dogs from shelter, however we could help. I recently published a Children’s Book and am donating a portion of proceeds to Rescue. Released May, 2011, it is currently the Publicists #2 bestselling book and climbing (See www.halopublishing.com; Bailey’s Heartstrings). Before purchasing a dog, please always first consider whether you have room in your home and hearts for a rescue as there are many dogs in need of loving, forever homes.

A series of twists and turns and disappointments with unhealthy dogues ultimately set us in motion to do our part to improve the breed however we could. We reached-out to trusted friends in the breed, both here in the U.S. and in Europe. Karma came full-circle, doors magically opened, and we acquired the “Heart of Heartstrings” CH Urszula z Orisku from the Czech Republic.

Urszula is a Moby daughter and we were blessed that Libuse and Jan entrusted us with her. She is a black-mask female, and only the 3rd black-mask girl to AKC Champion. To us, she is a special, special diamond. And so it began…our first venture into the show ring (like I needed another job lol). Urszula is currently ranked in the top #25 Dogue De Bordeaux in the U.S. according to AKC show points and qualified for the Eukunaba National Championship at 18 months of age. We *never* saw this coming.

Next, our boy Storm De Legeane from the Jan at DeLegeane in the Netherlands. We are proud to announce he obtained his AKC Championship title at just over 13 months of age, showing against and beating almost exclusively adult males and even finished champions; no small feat. He is a strong up-and-coming young lad and we are very excited for his future. Most important, he is the sweetest, most loving boy.

We are keeping our “eye on the prize”…which is to breed and show healthy, typey, well-rounded dogs who are ambassadors for the breed both in and outside the show ring. We are absolutely and thoroughly enjoying ourselves, making life-long friends in the breed, and most important, having a blast with our beloved dogues!
