New litter coming soon!
Welcome to Iris Mountain Mastiffs! Thank you for visiting our web site, which
will very soon feature a new litter of puppies! We are expecting a litter in the
summer of 2007.
Iris Mountain Mastiffs are located in the mountainous region of Northern
California between Eureka and Redding. We live on a forty acre ranch that
produces many varieties of irises.
Serendipity Irises
offers a beautiful backdrop for our dogs to play with plenty of room to
accommodate their needs.
Our love of the Mastiff breed began a couple of years ago with the addition
of Briar to our canine family. For many years we raised Rotweilers, but after
the passing of our stud, we didn't think we had room in our hearts to continue
with that breed. While on a trip we saw a sign on the side of the freeway that
read "PUPPIES, PUPPIES, PUPPIES..." and not really looking for a dog at that
time were reluctant to pursue the obvious "signs". We did however seek out the
kennel only to discover the owners gone for the day, but the proud puppy parents
diligently guarding the premises. It was love at first site (for us anyway). We
tried to contact the owners, left a message and they returned the call after we
had arrived at home. After learning that they only had one puppy left and they
weren't sure that they wanted to part with it we told them of our desire to
raise a Mastiff and the living conditions we could guarantee for such a dog. The
following day I drove 600 miles to go pick up our new addition. A short year
after that we had the opportunity to add Madison and Mirra to the family. In the
short time that we have been raising Mastiffs we are consistently amazed by the
gentle nature, the fun loving disposition and the tolerance of the breed. We
recently joined our local kennel club and hope to show the dogs in the near
future as time permits.
We hope that you enjoy the photos of the dogs of Iris Mountain and will add
more soon.
