This page is for the extended members of the St. Patrick's Family. Due to these wonderful Mastiffs, I have had the blessing of meeting some of the kindest people on the face of this earth. Thank you all for providing my babies with a life that any dog would be envious of. I treasure you all.

I presently own 3 Mastiffs, 2 of which are St. Patrick's bred Mastiffs. My first, St. Patrick's Sebastian Royal, purchased in 2000 was the first Mastiff my family has ever owned. The second is St. Patrick's Survival of the Fittest, aka 'Darwin' an owner surrender, (and our boy's nephew), was placed in our care Feb. 08 and typical to Tamara's Mastiffs he fit right in. The temperament of these dogs truly shines. Not only do Tamara's Mastiffs have impeccable true to the standard temperament and type, she, a life long mama to the dogs, is ALWAYS there to help you and answer any questions that might crop up. She never imply's your question is a dumb one and is there for the life of your Mastiff. She does a great job of screening potential new owners to insure her pups do not land in the wrong hands and that new owners are prepared for the challenge it takes to raise such a giant breed. She also takes her dogs back if a new owner can no longer care for their Mastiff. This is something we think ALL breeders should do. As an owner having one of Tamara's earlier bred pups, to a recently bred one, also shows how much she has strived to better the breed. I can't stress enough how helpful and caring she has been since we have purchased Sebastian. We will come back to Tamara for future Mastiffs hands down.  Sherry Noss ____________________________________________________________________________________________   I contacted Tamara about breeding my bitch to her Bubba. She was both professional and friendly, I felt very comfortable with her, her ethics and ideals, and I was excited to embark on our puppy journey together. The breeding and pregnancy went smoothly, with lots of emails and phone chats back and forth, as well as lots of well-wishes. When the puppies arrived, her excitement almost equalled mine, and she shared in the joy of each little milestone while the babies grew. Tamara has continued to stay in touch and offer insight, friendship and support. My whole experience dealing with her has been a pleasant, memorable one. www.Devincourtmastiffs.com ____________________________________________________________________________________________ I had been researching mastiff for about 2 years before I got my own. I had been looking for breeders also, but no one wanted to answer any of my questions. I either got a “come back when you’re ready to buy a puppy” or no response at all. Then I somehow came across St. Patrick’s Mastiffs and I was hooked from the beginning. I emailed Tamara and she got back to me within a day and answered any and all questions I had. I love everything about her! I was finally ready for my new baby in May, 2007, and after a long wait, I finally knew Sigmund would be mine! I made the 12 hour each way trip from Pennsylvania to Wisconsin to pick up my baby. Arriving at Tamara’s was like entering Mastiff DisneyWorld! It’s absolutely amazing. All of her dogs live with her in her house, and her home and yard are immaculately clean! First, I met all the “big guys” and I got to meet Sigmund’s dad, grand-dad, and of course the infamous Bubba! I loved each and every one of them, and they were the sweetest dogs ever. I also met some of the girls, and they were just as sweet! Then I met my baby J It was the most wonderful moment ever. He was one of the last to be picked up, but there were still a few puppies there, and Tamara said, “guess which one he is!” I guessed and I as right—Sigmund had run over to me, and was sniffing my shoe! He was the most adorable puppy I’ve ever seen. If you think Tamara’s big guys are beautiful, the babies are just to die for!!! It was such a wonderful experience. We went into Tamara’s house to finalize, where I met Pat, her wonderful husband, cooking for the dogs! Pat is just as amazing as Tamara is, and I cannot say enough about both of them. Sigmund is now 14 months old and he is the love of my life. Tamara and I keep in communication, and she is ALWAYS willing to offer advice, or help me with anything I need. She’s had so many litters in her years and years of experience, but she loves and remembers each and every one of her babies. I feel like I get such special treatment, but she loves all her babies equally and is always willing to help anyone out, even if they don’t have a St. Pat’s baby. Sigmund is hands down the most wonderful dog I’ve ever had in my life. He was trained in about a week, knows numerous commands, and is the sweetest, most loving dog. He is perfect in just about every way. He has never acted out, or done anything he wasn’t supposed to. He may be out of the norm since he really has always been perfect, but a lot has to do with Tamara’s breeding program and the love she shows to all her dogs. I could never have picked a better breeder and as much as I do like other breeder’s dogs, I will never own a non-St. Pat’s Mastiff. The dogs are even more beautiful and sweet tempered than the pictures, and Tamara’s knowledge and guidance is something you will never find anywhere else. You can’t get any better than Tamara as a breeder, and the dogs don’t get any more beautiful than a St. Patrick’s Mastiff!!! Thank you, Tamara, for the most amazing dog. I could go on an on about him all day if someone was willing to listen! He’s never met a person or dog he didn’t like, and has always been so sweet and loving in every situation. A Mastiff’s love is something that you can’t really describe in words, and I feel blessed to have one of your remarkable dogs! ~Meredith Hudak MLH357@gmail.com 484-241-6690 ____________________________________________________________________________________________  Just recently we bought our first mastiff puppy from St. Patrick's Kennel, I thought I would never find the look I had inbedded in my mind from twenty years ago of this beautiful English Mastiff that my husband and I had seen at a dog show here in Canada I was so upset with myself that I did not ask where he was from, all I knew he lived in the United States but I never forgot how gorgeous he was with that huge head and wonderful temperment, I had the pleasure of owning a wonderful dog which we loved dearly and when he passed I found myself thinking once again of that beautiful brindle mastiff I seen years ago which led me to my search on the computer for that look....I searched for months until I finally came across St. Patrick's Mastiffs, I couldn't believe the gorgeous dogs that Tamara and her husband had...:o) Well to make a long story short I called Tamara and talked with her several times and just recently we picked our baby up.....WOW!!! Their dogs are AMAZING!!Massive and with wonderful temperments to boot.Tamara and Pat welcomed us with open arms and couldn't of been more hospitable, Tamara's love for her Mastiffs is absolutely incredible and I would recommend St. Patrick's Mastiffs to anyone that has the bug for this Incredible Legendary Breed...:o) Here is a picture of our baby boy "KODA".. Starz0708@cogeco.ca Patty&Bill Nevestuk ____________________________________________________________________________________________ "I have been delighted with 2 pups from St. Patrick's English Mastiffs, both wonderful sweet boys that have become members of our family. Tamara has been a great friend to me, she has always been there to help me in the journey with my Mastiffs, giving me advise, ideas and opinions, her expertise and dedication to all animals is amazing! I have so much respect for her as a breeder, she is a true advocate for her puppies and is devoted to finding the perfect home for them." —Susan Armstrong Richard  ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Exceptional, huge, loving, outstanding temperament, …..I am not sure where to begin. I am the proud owner of St. Patricks Lucky Buck. Two years ago, Tamara matched us up with a wonderful puppy out of Corky and Kiki. I remember all too well the day we picked up our sweet, chunky boy. After being greeted by this gorgeous litter, Tamara introduced us to the adult relatives. First came Hubba Bubba bounding towards us. All my husband could say was, "Oh my Lord! Just look at his head !" He had never seen a mastiff of this size, and the pictures did not do him justice. After meeting several of the adults, we were most amazed by their size and sweet, sweet temperament. Our Buck is a blessing to our family. We take him everywhere with us, and needless to say, he is quite the attraction. He has become the soccer mascot for our daughter’s team! He is so loving and gentle with the little kids who wish to pet him. We are always so proud. He has such a silly personality which keeps us laughing every day! We could not have picked a better breeder. Tamara is truly dedicated to her puppies FOR LIFE. I am not at all hesitant about emailing a question or calling her with a dilemma. Tamara responds quickly and is always helpful. I will go nowhere else for my NEXT mastiff puppy! Feel free to contact us with any questions.

Mike and Jackie Mertz Celina, OH     ____________________________________________________________________________________________ My boyfriend Jason and I fell in love with Mastiffs about 4 years ago in 2004 when we met our first one. Two years later we brought home our first Mastiff, Zeus, January 15th, 2006. After we added Zeus to our family I had found and joined a group online Mastiff forum and learned about Tamara and her St. Patrick's Mastiffs on there. I found her website and my boyfriend and I looked at it a lot. We fell in love not only with her Mastiff's but also her very apparent love and commitment for the breed. After emails and some chatting on the phone we knew that Tamara was the breeder we were looking for and were ecstatic to get on a waiting list for a puppy from her next litter (Chumley X Fanny). Despite being very busy with the two litters, Tamara had made time to email pictures each week and chat on the phone. We just recently brought home our St. Patrick's boy, Cash. I flew 2,500 km from Alberta, Canada to pick up Cash from Tamara's home in Wisconsin. I was very happy to meet Tamara who welcomed me with open arms. I was very excited to meet Tamara's Mastiffs who I had fawned over online for 2 years. They were all very friendly and massive, exactly how I had imagined them to be and how Tamara had described them. You could tell that these Mastiffs were very well looked after and loved like a family member. A Mastiff haven! I then flew home with Cash the next day back to Canada and he has been the most amazing puppy! Cash and Zeus have become great buddies and we are looking forward to the years to come and watching him grow. Karlee Urbanoski ____________________________________________________________________________________________ From the time we first started corresponding with Tamara berry of St.Patricks Mastiffs, we found her to be extremely caring and knowledgeable about her mastiffs. She was diligent in screening us before agreeing to supply us with Diesel, since that time we have become close friends. She has helped us through our first litter, and has continued to be a mentor to us. We are very thankful for the help and friendship we have gotten from Tamara, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. Darin & Danny Elk Island Mastiffs. Danny_darin@elkislandmastiffs.com Darin & Danny Kresanoski http://www.elkislandmastiffs.com  _____________________________________________________________________________________________ My husband and I have known Tamara and Pat since 1994. She has our total respect and admiration for so many reasons. Her ethics, dedication to the Matiff breed, always going that extra mile for both humans and the "babies", spending the time to make sure the pups go to the right home and making sure her retired ones stay at home for life. She is always available to answer questions and try to help any way possible. She firmly believes her commitment does not end when a pup is placed in a new home. She has never compro- mised her standards or ethics, even when I know it would have made her life so much easier. The amount of time she has spent on research is truly amazing. She has been a pioneer in so many ways. We currently have three St. Patrick's mastiffs in our home. Their temperament is truly remarkable. They take every situation in stride, wheather, other people's pets, crawling babies, children, eldery with walkers or scooters or very large groups on the property. We have come to expect them to always be on their best behavior and never have been disappointed. It doesn't matter if it is on our property or in public. This has shown us, through the years, the excellence of their breeding and the breed. Tamara's breeding program shines. Hence, such wonderful "babies"! We are truly grateful that, all those years ago, we were entrusted with our Hoss from Tamara's second litter. He helped set the standard for each mastiff that came into our home after him. Each one has met that standard and all have given us so much love, joy, and laughter. Everyone who meets them is of course impressed by the size, but after a short time they are much more impressed with their gentle, sweet, loving natures. We are so proud to have these gorgeous beasts in our life, home and in our hearts. Thank-you Tamara for always being there and for making all this possible for so many people. Carl and Liz        _____________________________________________________________________________________________ When I first contacted Tamera about 4 years ago, I knew I loved Mastiffs, and did own one, but really had no idea what a true Mastiff should look like until I visited her home.  It became obvious to me very quickly that Tamera was very educated and knowledgeable when it came to raising Mastiffs, and she had the most beautiful and loving Mastiffs that I had ever seen! Each Mastiff came to meet me one by one, and each was just as sweet and beautiful as the next. When we were lucky enough to adopt our Mya ( St Patrick's Grand Devotion), Tamera was supportive, and always emailed to check on progress and get picture updates as she grew. She was always there, and still is, to answer any questions we may have. We were then fortunate to breed our Mya back to one of Tamera's males, Chumley (St Patrick's Lucky Charm). I could not have asked for a better mentor when it came to this breeding, and Tamera was available to me 24 hours a day when the puppies where due. We produced 4 fabulous pups, and again, Tamera was there to help me with caring for our litter, and helping us place them in the best possible homes. We now have one of those babies in our family, and she is an absolute sweet heart, just like her Mom and Dad! I am so appreciative to Tamera for ALL of her help and advise, her caring and her love for not just her Mastiffs, but the Mastiff breed. As others have said before, anyone would be lucky to adopt a St Patrick's Mastiffs puppy! Janet Pickett Three Rivers Mastiffs 608-386-5980 _____________________________________________________________________________________________ I got my first Mastiff in 1993 and decided to get involved in dog showing. I have been doing it ever since. I have owned many Mastiffs since that time but over the years have noticed that many of the dogs being bred and shown, in my opinion, are not the example of the breed type that I believe that they should be. A friend that I have co-owned Mastiffs with for many years was told about a beautiful Mastiff puppy that had come into her vet clinic. We asked where the puppy was from and the owner told her that he came from St. Patrick's kennel. He told of how he was so impressed with the breeder, Tamara Berry, and how beautiful her dogs were. He also commented on what great temperments all her dogs had. We then did some research on the computer and found Tamara's website. We were both very impressed with the great English type that her dogs possessed. I called Tamara and inquired on her plans for future litters and told her we were interested in a show potential puppy. That was a year ago, and we picked up a beautiful little boy out of Chumley and Fannie a couple of weeks ago. Tamara was always very pleasant on the phone when we had questions about available puppies and was always willing to get extra pictures of the ones we were interested in. When we went to pick our little guy up, she and her husband couldn't have been any nicer. Her dogs have wonderful, outgoing temperments. Bubba was our guide, he is a wonderful representative of the breed. I believe Tamara strives in her breeding program to produce the best Mastiff possible and wants only the best homes for her puppies. I would like to see more St. Patricks dogs in the show ring, so watch for our guy this fall! Joan Anderson St. Patricks Luck of the Draw - "Reno" _____________________________________________________________________________________________  many thanks with working with you. you have truly been wonderful. i know many people tell you that but your dogs are also a great example of our breed and i am HONORED and LUCKY to have the opportunity to have beautiful babies out of your line. ps the rasha/chumley breeding was my favorite in the end....old shcool/st. patricks i think did us proud!!! hugs to your babies as well. Kim Cooley Southland Mastiffs Southland's How Ya Like Me Now "Ellie Mae" _____________________________________________________________________________________________ When I stumbled onto your website, I was amazed at how nice your dogs look and I didn't even know about you. Too many mastiffs out there that are either too "Dane" like or "bullmastiiff" like. You have the true balance and type that Mastiffs should be. Keep up the great work. Kevin Chao    Kumo _____________________________________________________________________________________________ I do want to thank you because she is exactly what I imagined a mastiff to be. She has her wild child moments, but she is so sweet and everyone that sees her has to tell me how beautiful she is. I don't think there is a mean bone in her entire body. That is what I wanted. Destiny is everything I was hoping for and more. I love her more and more every day. I don't think I could ever stop thanking you for allowing me to share my life with her. It is so obvious that your heart and soul is in all of your dogs. I don't mean to sound sappy but she is everything that I had hoped for and more. Thank you so much.
