'Homestead's Can't Touch This'
 Toni has a new wonderful home!
 
We want to welcome the Bullions of Louisiana to our family!!  Linda and Richard,  their daughter Frances, and sons Doug and John are the most wonderful and loving family, and we're so happy to have them as part of our family now! 

Linda and Richard sadly lost their beloved Dogue Tiny last year, he was with them for 11 years and losing him was devastating for them. We met them as they were searching to help fill the void in their hearts.  Though no dog could replace Tiny, they wanted another Dogue in their home. 

Initially  they hoped to adopt a rescue, but after a long wait with no response they eventually spoke with a good friend of ours, Ann Patterson, who put them in touch with us, and that is how we met them.  Thank you Ann!! 

Ann knew we had recently taken back one of our pups who didn't work out  in the home he was initially placed in.   The family had not fulfilled any part of their contract and this pup came back to us at 18 months old.  Ann wondered if he would be a good companion for the Bullion family.  After speaking to Linda and Richard a few times we fell in love with them! Listening to their stories and hearing the love they had for their Tiny, we knew any Dogue would be so lucky to be in their family. 

However, after thoroughly evaluating Jerry, the pup who had returned to us, we did not feel comfortable letting him go at that time.  Though we knew they would love him beyond words, we did not feel it was right or fair to put either of them in this situation. Because Jerry had not been properly socialized to outside people, other dogs, and different situations, he now had some confidence issues that needed to be addressed. He had not been to training classes, and had not been neutered yet.  Constant socialization and training is very important for this breed and is stressed in our contract. Considering all of this we felt the best thing for Jerry was to stay with us and undergo a re-socialization and training period. 

Knowing in our hearts  that the Bullions would be a perfect home, we discussed the situation at length and decided we would give our Toni a chance to have a home of her very own. With Linda and Richard she would get tons of love and affection all for herself, and we wanted her to have that. 

And this is how she came to live with Linda and Richard! Linda used her vacation time from work and she and Richard made the 1200 mile trip from Louisiana to Michigan to meet us, staying the weekend to become acquainted with Toni and the rest of our Dogue family!

We had the most wonderful visit and absolutely fell in love with them! And so did Toni!  They were perfect for each other! 

Toni has now been spayed and is being enrolled in more training classes.  Jim had taken Toni to many classes while with us, including starting her in man-tracking, and Richard is looking forward to continuing her education!  Toni absolutely adores her new family and they adore her!

You Go Toni!! 

Thank you Linda, Richard & family for everything you're doing for her!

As a side note, Jerry, the pup who returned to us, is a littermate of Toni.  He is doing beautifully now as we knew he would!  He's a very loving, calm, and accepting boy and we're so happy to have him back home!
 
Watch for updates on his progress!

Welcome Annette and Robert to our family!
 
Our little girl known to us as Lexie
is now with Annette and Robert Maniaci of Wisconsin.
 
Lexie has been renamed "Stella"  and we so thrilled that she has such a loving family to care for her!  Annette and Robert absolutely adore her and have given her the best home we could have hoped for. Stella now has a new dogue-sister, Lulu, who lives with their wonderful daughter Gina, and they visit often to play!  Stella goes to their nursing home regularly where she's smothered with affection from the residents.  Based on Stella's temperament and disposition we knew she would be perfect for this wonderful couple. When taking her to meet them she took right to them giving lots of kisses and settled in as if she'd been there always.
 
We can't thank Annette and Robert enough for the wonderful life they're giving Stella!Initially we considered keeping her here as a show potential pup, butafter talking to Annette at length we felt we couldn't deny Stella the chance to have all the attention of their loving family, so we placed her with them with a spay contract.    We miss her, but her happiness and that of her new family brings us such joy and we're looking forward to watching her grow! Thank you Annette and Robert for all the stories and updates you send us of this wonderful little girl!
 
The homes our babies have are the most incredibly loving families and we couldn't be happier for all of them!

watching her with them was so heartwarming, she loves them so. 
The quality time they've spent with her is so obvious and we're excited for their new baby!
Beau settled right with them and was so comfortable and relaxed.

Born November 21, 2006
 
We are so happy and proud to have these 9 beautiful babies!
3 Girls and 6 boys, big, healthy, and active!
 
Angie is a wonderful mother, her natural instincts have taken over
 and she's a happy mom!  And Rome is a proud dad!
 
All the pups weighed in at birth between 1.4 and 2 lbs
 
 
We'll be posting more pictures of all of the babies soon!



Angelina has been bred to Rome
 
Considering the beautiful type
of both Angelina and Rome,  
as well as combining their pedigrees,
health, and structure,
we're very excited about this breeding!

  We are very selective in placing our puppies, our babies are a part of our family and we want  only the most loving of homes for them.  We get to know families long before the puppy leaves here, keeping in contact with prospective families and answering any questions they may have, as well as sending them updates and pictures as the pup grows.

  We also feel it is important to deliver pups to their new homes so we can meet their new families, we do this not only to be assured that the puppy will have what he needs in every respect, but to reassure new families of our support for them.  If for some reason time does not permit going directly to the new home we will, at the very least, meet the new family half way.    Seeing the initial bonding of the pup with their new family is worth more than words can describe! 

  We welcome and encourage visitors, but meeting families is important and for that reason we do not ship puppies.

Anyone who has one of our pups becomes a part of our extended family sending us pictures, stories as the pup grows which we treasure,  we will always be here for them. 
 
  If you'd like to be considered for one of our puppies please contact us for a puppy questionnaire, we would be more than happy to speak with you!
