Vivi came to our family through a lucky series of events.  I originally contacted Kathy to see about adopting a retired show dog to become a part of our family.  When I got to Kathy’s house, she opened the door and 14 beautiful puppies came pouring out.  I had promised my husband that we wouldn’t get a puppy but when that tumbling happy mass of bullmastiffs came half-rolling, half-running down the lawn, I was done.  We have three sons and I left it up to Kathy to pick out a sweet natured, gentle and protective dog for our family.  Vivi came home with us when she was 12 weeks old and we have never regretted our choice.  Right from the beginning, she was easy to train and a joy to be around.  She certainly must be the most tolerant dog ever bred!  The boys are always swarming over her and she knows when to be gentle and when she can be more rambunctious.  She seems to sense who is on the other end of her leash and acts accordingly.  Additionally, I know my family is safe with her.  She is protective and loving with her family and stands at the ready when strange people are near, always putting herself between us and anyone she doesn’t know.  Our Vivi is turning 6 this year and we have had the joy of meeting all her children and it fills me with joy to see her offspring with families and know that other’s will share in her incredible disposition.
