It was love at first sight when I saw my first Dogue some 12 years ago, but of course the heart strings had already been pulled by the moved “Turner & Hooch”.

My life with Dogues, began when I purchased my first beautiful girl Tagi.  She was my introduction into the Conformation Show area and the Obedience rings.  Along with my old Siberian Husky, Ryda, we spent many years enjoying our days out training and showing.  Tagi’s steadfast devotion and loyalty lead me to my love of the breed, and so I adopted the name “Amedange”, which in French translates to “Angel Soul”.

My Dogue family has grown a little over the years.  The breed is truly addictive.  The only thing better than owning a Dogue - is owning more Dogues!

In 2007, I lost my ‘heart’ Dogue.  Sueki was my first home bred girl and my first really successful show dog.  She was my best mate, my lap dog and I will miss her dearly for the rest of my life.  I call her my first ‘Angel’.   Sueki achieved so much in her short life and did me proud, providing me with our first major wins at All Breed Royal Competition level.  

In my pursuit of knowledge of the breed, I have travelled to Europe multiple times to attend the SADB French Nationale Clubmatch.  The ultimate breed speciality show for Dogue Lovers from across the world.  I have also visited many kennels across Europe and the UK and thank all of the wonderful people I have met for their encouragement and friendship.

My dogs are my family, my children, I share everything with them, they are my solace  Some are much loved pets and happily retired whilst others are living the exciting life of the conformation, obedience or agility arenas.  

I do not breed from all my Dogues and only choose the most suitable compatible partners when I do.  I choose to only breed selectively to add to my Family or to improve the breed type overall and very rarely have litters available.  

All my breeding Dogues are hip & elbow scored and health tested.  

I hope you enjoy a glimpse of my Tribe and some of our family photos.  

Thank you to my friend and photographer extraordinare, Jim Cullen for the wonderful scenery photos of some of the regions beaches.

My good friend Rene Brochier gave me the opportunity of a life time in 2009 when I attended the French Nationale.  I was able to handle his beautiful girl Deja Vu De Legeane in the Open Bitch class of the French Nationale in Rambervilliers.  She was awarded a much coverted ‘Excellent’ grading.  

A moment that will stay with me forever, along with her Medallion which Rene graciously gave me as a gift.  I will treasure it always.  Thank you Rene!
