"Dogs are not our whole lives, they make our lives whole!" - R.Caras

Our home is a country setting, approximately 5 acres, with our doorstep right on the magnificent St John River.  From our deck, we enjoy the morning sunrise, and are in constant awe of the moon rising over the river.  This played an integral part in the formation of our registered kennel name, MOONMAGIC.   Our family includes, my husband Barry, two teenaged sons, bullies, two cats and myself, Cindi-Lee.   We do consider our dogs family members, sharing our home with them, and the couch.  We also have full kennel facilities, the “Bullie Cottage” with heat and A/C for those occasions when I am doing family chores.  This way the dogs can run in and out at their leisure, & I also know they are safe, and not getting into mischief, when I cannot be with them.   

We fell in love with the bullmastiff in the summer of 1994.  Soon after, our first bullie, Tazzy, entered our lives, and there has never been a day since, that my heart has not felt joy.  After years of striving, mentoring under experienced breeders, continuous learning, and careful selection, our first litter was born in 2001. 

I am the one who is more hands on with the dogs and the breeding program.  Barry and the boys hold the fort when I need to travel, stepping in when needed, but their primary function with the dogs is to cuddle, and simply enjoy them for the family companions they are. 

A small, selective breeding program fits into our lives well. My dog activities include training for the show, and obedience rings, therapy work in local schools, continued education by attending seminars when I can, and volunteering my time to our National Bullmastiff Club, Rescue, and our local all breed club
