**The platform my site is on needs to be replaced-so most current photos are on facebook, until I get time to switch over!  The link for facebook is highlighted in blue, further down the page.  Hopefully once school is out I can get to it!  We have 4 boys and 10 girls now...so it REALLY IS outdated and I won't get time w/teaching, school, and litters to do it til summer. 

(I've yet to figure out why, but the website is best viewed in EXPLORER.  I can't even get half of it to load when I'm using my Mozilla Firefox)

American Champion Thunder Run's Voltaire

NEWEST UPDATES: 

Rousseau and Minerva were bred May 9th, 11th and 12th.  She will be due early just after the first week in July.

Voltaire and Matilda will be mated the 2nd week in May.  Due the second week in July

Guin x Voltaire, Macy x Rollo, Athena x Orson Wells, and Jasmine x either Rollo or Orson Wells all due sometime this summer.  IF Gabby's prelims are good, she will also be bred this summer to Rollo. 

I am trying to get the website updated now that we are up to a crew of 14.  But between teaching, grad school, and pups I often run out of time.  Often, the most recent updates hit facebook first.  IF you are a user, please add me as a friend using the link below.

We are lovers of the English Mastiff breed and have seven of our own mastiffs (and a few other pets) in southwestern Michigan. We co-own another 6 of our crew with other families of the same mindset.  Some might think we're nuts, but our animals are ALL inside-although they regularly romp their 5 acre plot running after frogs, and after the cranes and the geese that fly by.

                                                                                 OUR BOYS

At 5, Voltaire is 230 lbs.  He is 34 inches at the shoulder..  He was Penn Hipped on September 14th, 2007 and there is no evidence of djd (degenerative joint disease) or cavitation.  He was cerf'd and cardiac cleared November, 2008.  He is an AKC American Champion and it sure didn't take him long to achieve that.  Voltaire is an apricot.

At 20 months, Rousseau was 239 pounds..   He is a record 38" at the shoulder.   He is the product of a breeding between Voltaire and a Tamarack/Mystique girl from Eternal Mastiffs.  Rousseau is an apricot.

Orson Wells is 8 months and 165 lbs. now.  He's 32 inches at the shoulder.  He is a Guinevere/Voltaire boy and he is destined to be a BIG boy, too.  Rollo (Rolls-Royce Siver Ghost) is another 8 month pup from Cedar Creek Lines.  He was 160 at 8 months, 30 inches, a nice slow grower with VERY heavy bone.

                                                                                                OUR GIRLS

Billie is 175 lbs. and is 28 at the shoulder at 7 yrs.  She was Penn Hipped on September 7th, 2007 and there is no evidence of djd (degenerative joint disease) or cavitation.  Her grand-dam was 220 and and she threw large pups based on those and Voltaire's genetics. We are currently breeding the girls we kept back from her;  Macy, Athena and Jasmine.  Billie has been retired for the last 2 years.

Macy, Athena, and Jasmine are all large and beautiful siblings who have been kept back for our breeding program.  All were 4 in December, 2011.  Athena and Jasmine are about 30 inches and are both in the 170-180 range.  Macy is almost 34 inches and is about 165. 

Minerva is our most angulated and athletic girl and is just now 150.   She throws pups much larger than herself, although her litters are small.  She is 30" at the shoulder and has excellent angulation. 

Guinevere comes from outside our lines and was 200 lbs. at 2 a half years, 34 inches tall.  Almost all her immediate lineage are championed.

Matilda will be 2 this summer, 2012.  She is also outside of our lines.  She is 160, 31" at the shoulder, and still growing.  Like Minerva, she is a very slow-growing and athletic girl.  She is extremely attentive and beautiful, and we are really looking forward to seeing her first litter.

Gabby will be 2 late this summer.  She is 30 inches and 170 lbs.  If she prelims out well (she is just GORGEOUS), she will be bred to our heavy boned boy, Rollo, at her next season later this summer. 

All of our pups come with a 2 year written health guarantee, are vet checked, have their 8 week puppy shots, and are microchipped. Our animals are our babies and we treat them that way. Our litters are limited and we only place pups in homes that plan on treating their mastiff lovingly and as a member of their family.  If you are interested in one of our puppies, please fill out the mastiff questionnaire and we will add you to our update list.

We hope this site will give you some useful foundation information on the English Mastiff and a great idea of the lines our babies come from. We certainly enjoyed creating it!  Please feel free to contact us anytime to talk "Mastiff".  The quickest way to contact us is by emailing us at dfranke716@hotmail.com.  You may also try our home at 269-763-3836.
