Contract

Ringsides Kennel has taken great care to breed only the most physically sound mastiffs. Our foundation animals have come from the MTN OAKS KENNEL. Andie Williams, the owner of MTN OAKS KENNEL, has become a good friend and a tremendous mentor and mastiff resource for us. MTN OAKS KENNEL has been a breeding and show kennel for 25 plus years. We at Ringsides Kennel health test all of the breeding pairs we have at the kennel. We test for soundness in hips, elbows, thyroid, patella and eyes. We show the dogs and bitches we breed. They are all great specimens of what a mastiff dog should look like. Large boned, straight backs, nice heads and gentle temperaments.

We have at this time a nice fawn male. Leo can be seen in the photo gallery. He is a spirited 5-year-old male. Leo has fathered two litters and we are waiting for more from him. Leo is large boned with a beautiful head. He currently weighs in at 220 pounds more or less. We still show Leo once in a while. Large dogs like Leo are so much fun to have as a family member. He is so smart and loving.

The other breeding male at Ringsides Kennel is Archie. He is showing great potential as a stud dog. He has large bones and is potentially large enough to weigh over 200 pounds when he matures. Archie was born on December 21 2007. He is currently being shown by Cheryl Cates for us and hopefully he will soon be our 4th champion. Archie can be seen in the photo gallery too.

Rose is a large apricot bitch that is due to be bred in the spring of 2009 to Leo. This will be our first breeding of our champion to our champion. This will also be the first breeding of two dogs that we showed and finished. We are looking forward to this breeding too, because of the colors that the puppies will poses. Fawn mastiffs bred to fawn produces fawn puppies. Apricot mastiffs bred to apricots produce apricots. Fawn mastiffs bred to apricot mastiffs produce either a fawn or apricot. Both of our dogs are large, have good temperaments and are health tested, so the puppies will be spectacular.

Bessie is our brindle bitch that had a litter of puppies on January 2, 2009. She is somewhat smaller than the other mastiffs at Ringsides. Size isn’t the only criteria we use here at Ringsides. Bessie has a good show dog attitude as well as an athleticism that will make her puppies desirable to the right home. Bessie was shown for a short period of time and it was determined that she needed time to mature some. Having this litter may be just the trick. She may continue her show career some time late in 2009 after she recovers from this wonderful litter.

Ringsides Kennel has a wonderful relationship with Andie Williams at MTN OAKS KENNEL. We have always purchased her puppies with the knowledge that we would use that line for our own breeding. We are looking forward to our future breeding because we truly believe we have mastiffs that will be a good breed representative. The dogs will have size, good temperament, and will be physically sound.
