Van D Mastiffs
Welcome, the care takers of Van D Mastiffs are Shannon & Nick Van Duren. We got our first Mastiff in January 2002, our wonderful boy Bogart. When we picked up Bogart he stole our hearts. From that day on he was known as our "Sweetie Boy".
Due to Bogart's charm we knew we had to get another Mastiff. In the summer of 2003 we started looking for our new addition to our family. Needless to say we didn’t get one but 2 puppies to add to our family. Those 2 puppies are our foundation girls Dagney & Gia. We would like to thank Charles and LaVerne Williamson for our two beautiful girls.
We are super proud of our puppies, of the puppies that we have bred 8 are AKC Canine Good Citizens (CGC), 3 have their Rally Novice Titles (RN), 1 has their Rally Excellent Title (RE), 3 have passed Temperament Testing (TT), 2 are working on getting Agility titles and 9 have their AKC Championship.
Nick & I pride ourselves on showing our dogs ourselves. Of those dogs that we either own or co-own 7 of them finished their championship owner handled.
