## Dixie

- Status: Retired
- Sex: Female

Dixie is one of the two Mastiffs who started it all for us — the girls who made us fall in love with this breed. She is a gentle, dark-coated girl of about 170 lb who has never met a car ride she didn't like. Dixie is retired and enjoying life as a family companion, and her line continues here through her grandchildren, Oakley and Remy.

## Lil Ann

- Status: Retired
- Sex: Female

Lil Ann is one of our first two Mastiffs and a big part of why we fell in love with the breed. A brindle girl of about 200 lb, she is as gentle and affectionate as they come. She is retired now and spends her days as a treasured family companion.
