Barb'Eric Bullmastiffs -About Us
In 1982 we started our search for our ideal Bullmastiff. After months of observing dog shows and talking to breeders across the U.S.A, we purchased our first Bullmastiff in 1983. We began showing and breeding under the "Little English Kennel" name, later changing it to "Barb'Eric".
We Produced our first champion out of our first litter in 1985. To date we have produced over 100 champions, many of which are dual titled -- American, Canadian, International and National Champions, as well as group placers in Canada and the U.S.
Our puppies are home raised, right in our kitchen and handled constantly from birth. All breeding stock not only has to prove themselves in the show ring, but also must pass OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals) certification, preliminary x-rays or Pen-Hip on their hips. We also x-ray elbows and have eyes examined. Every breeding age dog is examined by a Cardiologist and heart certified. There is rising concern among many breeders in our Bullmastiff community regarding heart problems in our breed leading to early deaths. Before our puppies leave here at 8-10 weeks of age they are examined by our GP veterinarian and micro chipped. Then they make the trip to Seattle and are examined by a Cardiologist for any heart abnormalities and receive their clearance for heart. Our puppies all sell with a hip guarantee and an open door policy to return home to us at any time in their life.
Our years of success in the show ring as well as our reputation for producing loving family Bullmastiffs - sound in mind as well as in body - speaks for itself. If you are interested in any references, please contact us and we will be happy to supply them.
If you decide a Bullmastiff is your new family members of choice, select your breeder wisely. Over the next few years they will be your educator and resource for all your questions. Find a breeder you fell comfortable communicating with who will help you with your concerns.
Good luck in your search for a new family companion.
