Whether show dog or pet, each of our bullmastiffs is a part of a family, whatever configuration that family may take. During the holidays, we always look forward to the cards we receive. Because in many of them, we find wonderful photos of our dogs and their owners. Below are just a few of the "family & friend" portraits we have received.

If you are an owner of one of our bullmastiffs, feel free to send a us photo of you and your dog. We'll put it on the website as soon as possible!

A "Second Hand Dog" is a bullmastiff that, through no fault of its own, is returned to HappyLegs. Often it is a dog whose circumstance has changed, such as divorce, a new baby, or a move. Sometimes it is a show dog who failed to made the grade, who is just looking for a family to love him or her despite imperfections. It can also be a retired show dog that has been neutered, or a female that has been spayed after having one litter. And occasionally, it is a dog that for whatever reason, never left here, but deserves to spend the remainder of its life in a home rather than a kennel. Second hand dogs are often housebroken and trained, and are past the chewing and other puppy stages. Almost all second had dogs, with a little patience and love, adapt quickly and happily to their new surroundings.

Here are the second hand dogs currently available from HappyLegs:

Anna - Fawn female born 7/06

If you are looking for an older bullmastiff, there are always dogs available through the Rescue Program of the American Bullmastiff Association. Further information on dogs currently being fostered can be found on the ABA website or by contacting the following individuals:

Michigan Chair: Allison Amon
National Chair: Virginia Rowland

 

Pictured: Ch. HappyLegs Boomerang CD, a "second hand dog" that was returned and never left!

 

 

Breeding is an activity in which a good portion of time is spent waiting and hoping. Eight week old puppies can be full of promise; only time will tell if they live up to their potential. Here are some youngsters we are "waiting and hoping" on. Perhaps you will see them at a show near you in the future!

 

Pictured: HappyLegs Stevie's Nick at eight weeks, a future hopeful owned by Holly Nabozny.

 

 

Over the years, there have been some HappyLegs Bullmastiffs that have become better known than others, for their success in either the show ring or in the whelping box. Below is a list of some of the dogs from our kennel, from the past to the present, that have had exceptional accomplishments, or have significantly influenced our breeding program. These "famous" HappyLegs Bullmastiffs have given us as breeders a little fame of our own!

"Anna" was returned to us when her owners divorced and could no longer keep her. She is a sweet, smart and energetic girl that would do well in an active household. Anna is housebroken, knows some basic obedience, and has been around older children. Anna was recently spayed, and we are in the process of putting a little weight on her.
