WHY English MASTIFFS?
Ari at 24 months of age
Above Ari at 20 months of age. Our beautiful Ari passed away from hemangiosarcoma of the heart at 5.5 years of age...We will never forget you Ari... Below Ari's profile at 24 months &Windy's at 10 months.
I met my first Mastiff in the eighties. Since then I have never met a Mastiff I didn't like. We had found'our' breed; gentle giants with a short coat, laid back temperaments, great house dogs, and WONDERFUL with our small children.
Sabra with her beloved Nephew Noah Soon I became a 'Mastiff groupie' at dog shows and in 1990 brought home our first Mastiff puppy- 'Maddie'.

Welcome to our homepage! Monastic Mastiffs is a family in Alabama who loves and shares our lives with Mastiffs who live in our home with us along with a couple of very special feathered friends. Our Mastiffs and two comical African Grey parrots (Charlie & Larry) are cherished members of the family. Dolly works from home creating graphic art and websites when she is not spending time with our Mastiffs ,birds or our first grandson! Dolly is a member of the MCOA and the SSMF Regional Mastiff club and is a volunteer and webmaster for Southern States Mastiff Rescue.
Above is Ari with his sister Gabby at twenty months of age during a recent visit. Gabby And Fergie are co-owned and live with our friend, Susan Wheeler. Below is our Windy at seven months of age practicing for her first show!
We will never be a large commercial breeder. We breed only the very best we have to the very best we can find whenever we are ready for another puppy. We do OFA certify our dogs as a tool before deciding who will be bred and are members of the Mastiff Club of America ,Southern States Mastiff Fanciers, and active volunteers for Southern States Mastiff Rescue.
Sabra left us too soon from complications during emergency surgery in October of 2005 - we miss her every day. She lives on in her beautiful babies from the 2004 breeding with Ch Crossroad Pride's Stroke 'O Luck, 'Dugan'. Sabra is pictured below at age three. We have been blessed with the companionship of Mastiffs since 1990, and Giant Breeds all my life- I treasure each day we have with our Mastiffs and we spend every day together. Much like an English Mastiff puppy, this website is a work in progress! please check back periodically as the page will be updated often. Thanks for visiting our site. Dolly & Brock Moore
After losing our last Harlequin Great Dane, a dear friend, Linda Cain, brought us our first Mastiff 'Maddie' who was a beautiful silver fawn girl - tightly linebred on Ch. Lefholtz Handsome Hoyt. We will always be grateful to Linda and Karen for having entrusted her to us.
Maddie's passing in 2001 was the ending of an era in our lives, but she lives in our hearts forever. We miss you Maddie....
