Welcome to the Gatehouse!

Although Mastiffs have only owned me for a few years, I have been involved in dogs and dog showing since I was a young child.  At 6 years old I asked my mom to lie about my age so I could take her Samoyed into Junior Showmanship.  I got my own puppy (a Sheltie) for my seventh birthday and I have had at least one dog of my own ever since.

I am an owner-handler, and I also have shown several dogs for my friends.  I enjoy the competition and friendly rivalries that go along with showing.   Thanks to some beautiful, well-bred dogs (and a little help from my lucky blue suit) I have been pretty successful in the show ring in the past couple of years.

My dogs are my children... they sleep on the couch or in bed with me, get Christmas and birthday presents, and would never dream of spending a night outside.  Some people think I'm crazy, but my "kids" mean the world to me, and I wouldn't trade them for anything.  Currently, 3 spoiled Mastiffs and 3 equally spoiled non-Mastiffs call the Gatehouse home.

Click on the pictures below to meet the kids, past and present, as well as the 2 boys who started it all.
