Where we started
Kathy is an AKC Approved Breeder of Merit and has owned bullmastiffs since 1988. She started with a pet quality bullmastiffs initially, and her first AKC show dogs were Bulldogs. Kathy attributes many of her priciples to one of the all time greatest Breeder-Owner-Handlers of Bulldogs, Karl and Joyce Dingman. She learned ethical guidance from Karl and Joyce and with their local bulldog club involvement. Even today, when mentoring others Kathy refers to the teachings from Karl as "my old bulldog mentor would say..."
