Mastiffs are my absolute favorite dog. In fact my all time favorite mastiff breeder line is the Bredwardine line. Amazing dogs.
For a while my collection of animals was English Mastiffs, Arabian Horses, Chilian Chickens ( Araucanas ) and La Mancha goats. The only ones I don't have now are the mastiffs. I couldn't afford to get the bloodlines I wanted once my last dog died so I didn't want to settle.
Fortunately Araucanas are slightly less expensive. Not much it seems. LOL!
I have cats that came with the property we purchased. They are outside cats since my whole family is allergic except for me. Its nice to sit outside with a cat on your lap and watch the sun go down. Course its nice to sit outside with a cup of coffee and a chicken on your lap too. LOL!
