Welcome to Homestead!
Living in Michigan
on 13 beautiful acres our family has been in this wonderful breed
since the year 2000. Some of our dogues are show dogues and some
are strictly companions, but all are friends that we love dearly.
As you read through
our site you'll see exceptional pedigrees as well as the beautiful
type of our dogues. They have unique and loving personalities
that have stolen our hearts and have been captured in pictures as
well, we love to have fun!
We do obedience
work with our dogues and they have impressed their instructors with
their intelligence and wonderful dispositions.
In Oct. of
2000 we brought home our first Dogue de Bordeaux puppy, Francis,
after wanting one for many years. Though Francis was not the
breeding/show dogue he was supposed to be, we fell deeply in love
with him instantly. He was neutered early on and became a very
loving and integral part of our family.
Francis
passed away this past June due to health problems and is sorrowfully
missed, but it was because of Francis that our hearts were won over
and we began our search for the lines with which to start our small
breeding program. We now have several dogues in our home, and our
love for the breed has deepened with each dogue that has come to
live with us.
Our goal is to produce an
occasional litter striving for quality pups by concentrating on
type, health, and temperament. Our breedings are carefully
chosen with betterment of the breed top priority not only
through the dogues we choose but also through health
testing. Our breedings are chosen based on the results of their
healthscreening as well as type, temperament, and lineage, a
delicate balance that we know is not easy to achieve.
We have no problem with neutering a typey dogue with a good temperament
if we feel they should not be bred, they will then live out
their lives loved as pets in our home or with trusted friends.
We strive for good health in our pups by seeking this out in
dogues we breed with and have had great success with our pups in
doing so. We stand behind all of our puppies and will always be
here for their families.
We are proud of our Dogues!
We consider ourselves very
fortunate to have the lines of dogues with which we feel we can
accomplish our goal and are very excited about the future!
