This is Zeus he was born last DEC 7 from Chesna and Graff's. last month his weight was 119lbs.
He is very smart and great friend. Everyday I walk him and someone states how beautiful he is.
I can't wait until he starts to fill out. take care.

Donna - Danny and I just want to let you know how much we are enjoying Sheba. She is growing so fast and she surely is an intelligent dog. We're not there yet with potty-training - but she's making progress. She eats good, plays, sleeps good. Her favorite places are behind the couch snuggled in a blanket and her kennel and wherever Danny happens to be. She is his little side-kick, following him around wherever he goes! Everyday we are amazed at what a special dog she is. We've never had a night of whining and so far, she hasn't chewed anything apart! Just wanted you to know we are thankful for your breeding and producing quality animals. We love her so much and cannot imagine how we were doing without her. Judy

daisy and my nephew again , in this pic she crawled up onto the couch and laid down next to my nephew and put her paw over him while he was sleeping

Hi Donna, this is Samantha and Justin from Grain Valley, MO, I have attached
a few pictures of Winston litter from Angie and Malaki, November 2010.
Winston is absolutely terrific, he thinks he's a lap dog at times, has his
own personality and probably listens better than the kids and spoiled more
than the kids are. He is a little over 1 year and weighs 130lbs. I keep
begging to get another one but I think it's going to take time. He is the
best thing ever for my family, he loves to play and snuggle as you will see
with the pic of him and the kids and has definitely brought our family closer
together. We also found out this past summer that he doesn't care for
swimming but he loves to take baths. Winston did however get Valedictorian
in his Puppy class at PETCO. Hopefully by the time Angie and Malaki have
pups again I will be able to get another (keep your fingers crossed, I am).

Hi Donna, We got a pup from you (from Fergie and Malaki's litter). We named him Prime. He is 7 months and 1 week old, he is 24 1/2 inches tall at withers and weighs 83 pounds. The kids love him and he takes all the attention he can get from them, and anyone else for that matter. He goes to all of our family functions (Christmas, Thanksgiving etc). He's been the perfect addition to our family(and he's one handsome devil to boot). Thanks for all of you've done for us and continue to do! As always Jay & Donna :)

Donna, this is the pup we bought from you from the Moose/Molly litter in September. We named him Gus and he is doing very, very well. The attached photo of Gus was taken a few days ago, so it shows him at just over 4 months old. He is going to be a big boy! He is also very smart, he knows sit, shake and lay down and on the command "kennel" he will go to his kennel without a fuss and is very lovey.He follows us all around the house and is very curios about what we are doing, that is unless he is too tired, then he will just lay beside the couch and watch us walk around. Kennel/Potty training was a breeze and I can count on one hand, the number of accidents he has had since bringing him home. He fits right in with our family and everybody comments on how cute and well behaved he is. I could not have asked for a better pup and would like to thank you for being so helpful in the process of purchasing him. I will refer anyone I can to you. I will send more pics and an update when he gets closer to 1 year. Happy Holidays and have a Happy New Year!

BIG GEORGE

Hi Donna,

Well, Big George has gotten a reputation for himself at PetsMart. Yesterday was his 4th puppy training class and as I made my way to the back of the store where the session was being held, there were about 5 employees standing around back there. One gentleman asked if I was there for the next class and I replied yes. The gentleman said oh this must be Big George then, we have heared so much about him and just had to meet him. Everywhere we go, people have to come up to us and see him. He loves all the extra attention he gets. We love him and adore him more and more each and every day.

Hope you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Sincerely,

Jamie Barrett

Hi Donna!

This is Samantha from Boise, Idaho. We bought a bullmastiff pup from
you about 6 months ago. He was from Fergie &
Graff's litter. I attached some pics so you could see how beautiful he is
and how great he is doing! He is great with the kids and so lovey...we love
him! We named him Fuji Mountain Red..we call him Fuji. The vet says he is
very fit.

Hey Donna!

This is Ellen, from Valdez, Ak. We bought a female pup from your November 2010 Angie and Malaki litter. She is now almost 9 months old and doing fabulously. She is 23.5 inches high at the withers right now and right over 80 lbs and just gorgeous. I take her with me to work frequently, and everyone there just LOVES her. She is absolutely wonderful with our kids and with dogs too. She is our first mastiff, and I know she won't be the last! Thank you, Donna. I am sure we will be contacting you down the road again about adding another when the time comes :)

Just thought is give an update on the bullmastiff I received from you over a year ago. She is a sweetheart and I couldn't be happier with her!!

I bought Ernie from you back in 2009. His litter was born in May. Here are a couple of recent photos of him. He fits in with our family perfectly. Thanks again.

Chad Meli

Donna, We bought a puppy from you in August 2009. He is a male and his name is Rudy.He was born on August 4, 2009 from Ruby and Malaki. We take Rudy everywhere with us, and people are always commenting on how handsome he is. Thanks,

Bruce and Amy Grigsby

I feel horrible for not sending you pictures sooner but we were in the process of relocating so I was busy busy. Keena is doing absolutely wonderful, I swear I couldn't have gotten a better dog. I have attached some recent pictures of her and I promise to send more on a regular basis now that we are all settled.

Good afternoon Donna,

I wanted to let you know that Moe (Bent Tail Pup) is doing exceptionally well. He is having a grand time in New York.

Hello Donna! Season's greetings from NH! Hope you and your family had a great holiday. Just thought we'd share some updated pictures of Zuri, who will be 2 years old on February 13th. Zuri is a good girl who adores our 3 children and her yellow lab "brother." She loves to play in the snow. Here are some pictures of her playing in the snow from just about an hour ago. Thank you for such a great dog. We cannot imagine life without her. Hope you and your family have a happy and healthy 2011!

Becky Woodward

Hi Donna.
Its me Dan again from Lancaster NY, I am wondering if you have any more updated pictures of your male #3 brindle? If he is still available. I Think we are ready to get London a friend. With how well London has turned out and all the compliments we receive about our baby, I will not go to anyone else for my BM! Hope to hear from you soon. (Ive also attacked another picture of London)
Dan D.

Hes adorable!..everything went smoothly today. London is just watching from a few feet away while Deacon plays with all of her toys. He was very playful from the second I took him out of the cage. Another great dog from Connollys! thank you so much. Ill send you some pictures with the 2 dogs together very soon! thanks again. Dan

Had to show you these, they are already best friends! great dogs so glad I found you!

Hi Donna,
Precious Gracie has probably doubled in size and is cuter than
ever. She is tired after playtime with her cousin Hershey. ( my son's
dog)

Hello DonnaJ I hope all is well. I just wanted to give you a quick update on Bella. She has been a GREAT addition to our family. She is spunky just like us and we love her so much. She is 12 wks and already weighs 30.9lbs. Her nick name is “beast” because she just plows through everything in sight w/o a care in the world. (I can only imagine when she is full grown). I can’t tell you how many compliments we get when she’s with us. Everyone just falls for her and says her name fits her PERFECTLY. I have attached pictures of her for you. The handsome little guy in the picture with her is JJ (my 4 yr old and her “best friend”.) They NEVER leave each other’s side. I want to tell you it was a little scary purchasing a dog online but you made the process, stress free and absolutely worth it. Once again, Thank you for breeding such wonderful dogs and giving us the pleasure of owning one. (Hopefully we’ll own two shortly- I’m still warming my husband up to that. Lol) THEY ARE ADDICTIVE!!! Lots of wet kisses

Ola, Jason, JJ, and Bella Mia

Hi Donna,

Hope all is well! We went to the beach this weekend and took our little man, we have named him Muddos.

It is a Bahamian expression when you see something really big.

I wanted to send a photo of him at the beach, he wasn't quite sure what to do.

Well, thank you again he is beautiful. Cei

Hello Donna,

I purchased a puppy from you in 2008. Me and my husband live in MA. His parents are Jake and Cookie. Today is Bo's 2nd birthday. I wanted to send you an updated picture of him. Last time we took him to the vet he weighed in at 135lbs. We love him very much. He is an excellent dog. We couldn't ask for a nicer, smarter, well behaved dog. Thank you again.

Sincerely,

Jamie

Donna,

I thought I'd send a quick hello as I was talking about you today. We
recommended you and your puppies to some friends of ours who are now
looking for a bullmastiff puppy. They kept our little Madison over the
weekend while we were gone for a wedding and fell head over heels for
her ... so much so, they are now in the market for a Christmas
bullmastiff puppy! I gave her your website so hopefully they'll take
my advice. I told them they couldn't go wrong :)

Madison is now five months old, born with your May 22nd litter. I
attached pictures of her, although those were taken last month, so
she's a bit bigger...perhaps about 70-80 lbs. She's as sweet as she
can be. She is a smart girl and we have loved every minute of her.
She's especially loving the fall weather and loves to be outside and
sit on our porch and just watch. When she's not outside she's a great
housepet, she's quiet and loves to be around us all the time. When I'm
cooking, brushing my teeth... doing anything stationary for a little
while, she likes to just lay on my feet. She's still playful and loves
to dig through her toy box and play! (I kid you not, if I clean up her
toys and put them away, she will literally go and dig her head in the
basket and pull out what she wants) Thanks again so much for her ...
we couldn't be happier!! Emily and Arthur

Hi Donna.
    This is Dan , I purchased a puppy from you from a january 24th 2009 litter from Jake and Ruby. Im from Buffalo, NY. Ive attached a picture in case you were interested in seeing her. Shes such an amazing dog, I'm so glad i found you guys. I receive compliments on her on a daily basis on her looks as well as her behavior. My girlfriend and I love her so much were thinking about getting another puppy from you guys possibly a brindle or another red. Ill keep in touch when we finally make a decision to get another one..its not too far away haha!


                                                                                                                Dan and Angela

Hello Donna!

I hope you and your family, including your Bullmastiff 'kids',are doing well:)I just wanted to send you a few pictures of Chaya(Angie and Malaki's puppy born Nov 16th) and thank you again for such a wonderful puppy.She is great with other dogs,loooooooves to play with people and dogs and she is very gentle and well behaved,we adore her.People stop us on the street all the time to ask questions about Chaya she is so beautiful:)I'm already thinking about getting her a "friend" from you, of course, but first we need to have a large yard for 2 Bullmastiffs:)
Thanks again!
Andrea

Donna,

Attached/below is a quick picture of the puppy (Frank) with the kids. We've got a Vet appt today and all seems to be going very well. Our English Bulldog was a little bossy at first, but seems to be warming to the idea of having a playmate.

Thanks!

Scott

hi connolly family,our big baby clyde is doing just great,he was one of chesna and graffs pups,hes such a handsome boy,looks just like his daddy.thanks so much for a happy healthy puppy.we will be calling you before too long,for another puppy.heres some pictures of clyde.....amanda&mike

Hi Donna:) It's Ola, JJ, Jason Bella Mia. She's Graff and Lola's baby girl.
We decided to send you pics of her. She is now 6mos old, weighs 67lbs and is
an absolute JOY!!! She's a big cuddle bug. Very sweet and loves any
attention thrown her way. (kind of like her dad) She looks just like Graff
and has her Lola's coloring. She's still feisty as ever..lol. Her and my 5yr
old are inseparable. Thank you so much for breeding quality dogs. Her
temperament is the best. My mom is here visiting and she is petrified of
dogs. She's been here a week and she went from making me hold Bella until
she safely in her room to actually being comfortable while Bella is loose in
the house. I apologize if the pics aren't clear enough they were taken on my
cell phone. I'll take another one with my actual camera if you want to add
her to your website. Ok I'll say good bye for now. Take care and god bless!

Regards,

Ola

Hi Donna, the first night went great she was up at 1:00AM to go potty and did awesome in her crate. That is where she goes by herself when she wants to sleep, so that is going awesome! Thank you for everything and I will update you as time goes on with more photos. Today we are headed to buy more chew toys to give her more options of things that are okay to chew, :-) I am on the hunt for the toy you showed us. If I find it I will let you know. Take care, Anne

This is Bella ( Princess and Graff's puppy)

Donna,

Hello its Lane Moore from Poplar Bluff! I bought a puppy from you back in October 09 (Lateva and Malaki’s liter on Aug 23 2009.) I thought I would send you some pics of him. We named him "The Dude". He is such a WONDERFUL dog, we love him very much! He is so lazy but loves taking walks and playing with my sisters bullmastiff, they truly are gentle giants!! He house trained very fast and is a very smart puppy! Many people don't have bullmastiffs around here and they all think he is beautiful!

Hey Donna!
They ABSOLUTELY LOVE him! We've decided to name him Champ because the boys say it is short for champion. He did cry some last night. My husband got up around 2:45 am and slept in his big chair in the living room so he could sleep outside the kennel. We plan to leave him out of the kennel throughout the day and let him sleep there at night. But we hate to hear him cry at night. My nine year old, Emanuel was concerned about him last night because was crying. He definitely does not like the kennel (smile). Any suggestions?
He has adapted well to our home. He will wine a little at the back door to go outside. He made a boo boo this morning but only because it was kind of hectic this morning getting the kids out to school (not his fault at all). He does really well with the kids and is even running around and playing with them!
Well I guess that is all for now. Pictures are on the way from yesterday when the kids got home from school. I will definitely keep in touch and keep you posted. Thank you so much for Champ!
And a doggy kiss from Champ!
Rosalyn Smith

Hi Donna,

I just wanted to send a picture of us with Benny! He is growing so fast, we weighed him last night and he is 30lbs at 11 weeks! But he is the sweetest little puppy and the best little cuddler!! We get compliments on him where ever we go! But we wanted to thank you again for everything, we couldn't be more happier with him!

Chelsea and Greg Van Pelt

Donna,
Here is a picture of Hoover all grown up! He is very stocky. He reminds me of Princess but has the beautiful markings and build like his dad (Magnus). Hope to make it down some time in the New Year to purchase him a wife!! LOL. His Halloween picture is the one with the chain.
Hoover is VERY playful. I don't think there has been one time we have had to carry him. He enjoys car rides, walks, and of course company. He is some what lazy. He gurgles in a low tone and he loves to howl.
Every one in our neighborhood loves Hoover. They wished him a Merry Christmas instead of Us!!!! He is great with children and is very healthy.
Hoover enjoys Petsmart. Although, he didn't win his contest, he loves to stay over night at the Pet Hotel.
We will have to send you more pictures as we get free time. Hoover also snorts and will love to see how things on the farm are going.
Keep in touch- Justin, Mandy, & Hoover

Hello Donna,

This is Michelle and Anthony. We named our bull-mastiff puppy (son of Angie and Malaki) Orso, which means 'Bear' in Italian. He is doing well and is absolutely adorable. We love him loads!
I have attached some photos (from January) so you can see him. You were right....he is going to be a BIG boy :) He has been extremely well behaved

Jax is doing great. He is getting much love! Everyone loves him. Christmas morning went perfect!

My wife has a lot of clients coming in and out of the house so he loves people and is very friendly. We couldnt be happier with him. Few accidents here and there but for the most part training going well. We take him each Saturday to a free puppy class that petco has and he gets to play with the other dogs and learn some new training techniques. Im sure he is bigger but its hard to tell when we see him everyday. Never cries at night not even once. Still doesnt eat a whole lot but hes not starving by any means. Loves all of his toys and is getting all the attenntion he can handle. Love his temperment around people and the kids. Attached some pics. Thank you for everything he is a wondeful addition to our family!

Donna,
Just wanted to drop a line to you and give you an update on Diego's progress. He is a fun loving oversized puppy @ 7months old is 110lbs., not fat but just well defined. He's a little puppy trapped in a Big Boys body. In the morning before we take him out he has to make his rounds to each one in the family to say "Good Morning"(we have 5 out of 8 still living@ home). He has brought alot of fun and happiness to our family.

Hello,
Just wanted to drop a line and let you know how pleased I am with The puppy I purchased back in April.
"Harley" is doing fine. He is now 52 lbs. @ 4mo 1wk., and not an oz. of fat on him. He has really bonded with my 19 mo old female and they play all day in back yard. His tempermant is just what I wanted (Strong and gentle). I get so many compliments, not only on his looks, but his personality.
thx for everything,
Erich Seitz, PT CSCS PES

Nubu is a sweet puppy. The more that I get to know Missy and Nubu the more that I like the breed. Such a sweet disposition, plus I can tell that they make great guardians when they have to.

Thanks again for everything.

Steve & Tanya

Hi Donna-
This is Jackie , you sold me a puppy about four months ago, he was born on March 17, he was from Bimbo and Magnus and I thought I would send you some pictures of him so you can see how great he looks! He is so wonderful and we couldn't be more happy with him! He just graduated first in his class for basic training, and we are taking him to canine good citizen class in a couple of weeks. He is so smart and very well behaved, and has never had any aggression toward any person or dog, thank you again for such a wonderful puppy!

Thank you for wondeful dog! He is everything we ever wanted. Growing fast. Thanks again, Scott and Jamie

Hi Donna-
We just received our puppy this morning at 3 AM! He is so cute and sweet! He is already comfortable with us and our house and he is so energetic! We absolutely love him, thank you so much for such a wonderful treasure! We have a vet appointment scheduled for next Tuesday, we had one scheduled for yesterday but couldn't make it since he wasn't here yet. We will keep you updated on what the vet says and will get him the rest of his shots. He is such a sweety and so nice!
Thank you again!
Jackie & Hunter

Hey,This is Brandi, from Louisiana. We recently purchased a bullmastiff puppy from you and could not be any happier! His name is Winston and he is the sweetest puppy. Brennan has had nothing but great things say about you and we would like to know where on the internet we could recommend you as a breeder. Could you please get back to us... THANKS again for everything and hope to talk to you soon. Brandi

EREN IN ONTARIO
Just wanted to say Thank you he is a cutie!Everything went well at customs! For the dog food i have found some, but they are all different, some say for small dogs, or does it say baby puppy, i haven't found that one and i thank you for sending him with some food for the mean time. We have named him "grizzly" looks like he is going to be a big boy!

LISA B. IN BERRYVILLE AR

Here are some recent photos of Ruby. She has become a part of the family so quickly. She is beautiful and such a joy to have around. If you ask her, she'll tell you she owns this place. Thank you so much!

Payne in blytheville AR
Hello Donna,
I wanted to write and tell you how absolutely thrilled we are with Lily Belle! She has been the best puppy ever! So easily house trained, so well mannered, mellow, and SO great with my young girls and their friends! Its going to be hard for me to ever consider owning another breed. She has really impressed us, our families, and friends!
I can't even begin to tell you how shocked my husband was to come home and find her running in the yard with several kids from 1 to 4 years old. He thought I had lost my mind putting such a big pup in the mix with them, shes going to knock them down, shes going to jump all over them, shes going to run them over! I laughed and let him observe my gentle, playful, considerate girl running and playing with the best of them but never once laying even a lick upon any of them! She has recently started sleeping in the doorway of my girl's room. I think that is the cutest, and most loyal gesture ever!
I have enclosed some pics of her with 2 of her best friends for you. She's doing wonderful and, again, we are so very pleased with her! Thank you so much!

UPDATE ON THE PAYNE FAMILY!

Hi Donna,

Just wanted to update you on our girl, Lilly Belle. She is, and has been, fantastic! She is HUGE too! She'll be 1 year in March I believe and weighs in at 103lbs, and still growing of coarse! Just BEAUTIFUL and LOVING! She goes camping with us and everything. Anyway, I hope you are all doing well and I thank you so much, again, for my wonderful girl!

ANNE IN KANASA CITY MO

Donna, I am so happy with the puppy, not sure yet, but we think his name is Rooney. He is a complete doll. He has his vet appointment at 11.30 today, then my roommate is dropping him off to hang out at the fire station with me for the rest of the day. Thank you so much.
We ended up naming the puppy Ruger. He is getting huge, perfectly healthy, everyone at the vet just goes nuts when we show up. He goes to work with me...everyone there loves him. He is quite the popular guy. He is potty trained already, and gets in his crate when I ask him. He has the most easy going laid back personality ever. Here are some pictures of him hard at work.
Anne

Hi Donna,

Wanted to give you an update on the cavachon puppy. He is doing great, we have named him Phoenix. Wonderful puppy, playful and great with the kids.

Here are some updated photos of him, thanks for being so helpful.....he is so cute, Thank You

Donna , KoKo has been given little trims by me but we just had her groomed. Isn't she beautiful? Koko is a lucky little girl. She plays so much and is so so happy. Hope you enjoy these pictures.

Pat ,SC

Great little Havanese puppy!

Donna made the whole process of acquiring our little Havanese painless. Donna gave us lots of great information and answered question after question for a family that had never raised a puppy before. She was low pressure, easy going and extremely helpful. Our Havanese arrived via Delta Air Lines in excellent condition and very happy and healthy right out of his carrier. Our puppy has a wonderful personality, is intelligent, and quite adorable - even better than we expected. Thanks a lot, Donna!! Craig

Very Good Experience!!

We just love the little guy he's so spunky and all around a great dog. We received him and he was already trained to go to the bathroom outside!! Can't tell you how please we were about that. The puppy himself is just healthy as can be and that's all because of Donna's extensive breeding experience. She helped us with everything we needed to know and gave us in great detail instructions to make sure everything the puppy needed was taken care. To sum it up Donna is as wonderful person and breeder and will take care of you and your new little puppy. . Thanks Nathan
