History of Our Kennel
Pippin came next in 1989. Pippin was a yodeler; she loved to announce herself, especially if she
had
captured a new toy! Shortly after Pippin came into our family, we
brought home our first English Mastiff, Victory. While her conformation was very
nice, her socialization had been seriously neglected and so we embarked
on a course of obedience and eventually showed Victory in conformation
competition.
Regis and Pippin gave us some wonderful puppies over the years. PJ, their last living offspring and our pet, left us quietly and without notice in February 2006, at age 13. PJ had never been sick a day in her life and had not one grey hair. Almost to the time of her death, PJ would travel the 0.2 mile of our driveway and wait at the gate for my return. These two breeds have shared our home and life for nearly two decades now. Their personalities compliment each other very nicely and they all live together, in our house. Our kennel name comes from the combination of the two, MAStiff and SCOTTish Terrier, hence Mascotts. Our Scotties, like our Mastiffs, are primarily companions. Most potential adoptive homes want a healthy, well- balanced pet and really aren't interested in competitive dog sports, but a number of our puppies have gone on to be shown in conformation or compete in other activities such as obedience, agility, and earthdog. We do strive to better the breed and do appropriate health testing. We only plan breedings when we have a waiting list of adoptive homes. We belong to the Mastiff Club of America and The Colonial Terrier Club as well as Southeastern Mastiff Rescue and Bullmastiff Rescue. We encourage potential adoptive homes to seriously consider giving a home to a dog in need over and above a puppy. While we would love to have you as part of our extended VM family, we do feel strongly about rescue dogs and you may find one is available and exactly what you were hoping to find in your new addition (minus all the work of a puppy)! Currently we are home to 7 English Mastiffs (Rosebud, Bailey, Daisy, Pax, Poppy, ZuZu, and Clover), 2 Scotties (Kittee & Sweet Pea) and Sweetie, the Bullmastiff. How did that happen??? Rescue, of course! If you live in the area, we also provide Daycare for your dog! |
