This is our spot to showcase some of our favorite mastiffs. These dogs were all bred by Nancy and John Pitas of Brookside mastiffs. Nancy and John were fixtures in the New England mastiff community for many years; and produced dogs of uncommon quality that were appreciated and admired by many.
It is to John and Nancy that we owe much; our treasured boy Owen as well as the best breeder/ owner friendship one could hope for.
We hope that you enjoy looking through these snapshots!
