Back in 1988 Chris started my “CASTRO-CASTALIA” breeding programme. It’s been almost 20 years and since I have bred twenty three litters --some two hundred brindle, red and fawn puppies--, perfectly typical, sound and balanced that have brought joy to many families in over fifty countries from four continents.

The “CASTRO-CASTALIA” Bullmastiffs have been excellent ambassadors of the breed and also of a consistent, responsible, selective, demanding and dedicated work in a full-commitment basis, throughout Europe, America, Africa and Asia, where they have obtained some 150 Championship titles.

My utmost goal has been and remains to maintain a standard of maximum quality and this has been possible only by means of personal determination and sacrifice. But it’s been worth every minute, because there is nothing more rewarding and satisfying than having a bunch of gorgeous good looking, fluffy and healthy newborn puppies in the whelping box, to confirm the quality that epitomizes the breed. Just as rewarding it is to verify that through the years the “CASTRO-CASTALIA” Bullmastiffs have become a referent in the World and that there are many Breeding Programmes (in Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Denmark, Ecuador, Finland, France, Iceland,  Italy, Mexico, Norway, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Russia, Sweden, Thailand, Uruguay, Venezuela, Romania, Zimbabwe,   Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, the U. K., the United States, amongst others) that have been born or have developed with our breeding line.
