Roxedge Bullmastiffs was founded in 1997 by Cheryl & Darryl Randolph, of Sooke, British Columbia, Canada.  Our love of Bullmastiffs began with the purchase of "Hanna" from Karisoke Bullmastiffs.  Initially we had only purchased Hanna with the intentions of having her for a pet only. However Hanna proved to be just a little more.   As she grew, she developed into a lovely show prospect, and with encouragement and support from her breeder, Hanna was shown to her Canadian championship in short order.  Since then the bug has bitten once again, and our home of bullmastiffs has grown, with 3 adult bully's sharing our abode, along with our 2 children, Danny & Lindsay.  Our involvement in bullmastiffs is centered around a loving family environment....where the dogs are fully integrated as rightful members of our household.   

     Our background and love for dogs, however, did not start with bullmastiffs.  We have been involved in GSD's & Rottweilers over the past 22 years, venturing into many aspects of dogdom, such as importing from overseas to impact and expand certain lines, breeding, training, schutzhund, obedience, agility and of course, rescue.  As such, we have earned a respected position in the dog community, and although we are no longer directly involved with these particular breeds, we always make ourselves available to share our knowledge to those fanciers who seek it.  Cheryl has also been heavily involved in the horse world, with training and teaching of hunters and jumpers, and partaking in  judging now.  So as you can see....our background with animals is vast and varied.  Over the years, as with most people, we have had our fair shares of bumps, bruises, successes and ever sweet moments that have helped us to grow along the way.  As such, we have created memories for our family to be cherished and remembered for a lifetime.

     Cheryl is a member of the Bullmastiff Fanciers of Canada,  Canadian Kennel Club, SABOC Obedience club and currently holding a position of Bullmastiff Rescue Of Canada ~ Rescue Coordinator for Vancouver Island.  Attending countless dog shows a year, whether it be for showing or simply for the leisure of observing and mingling with fellow dog fanciers, and taking in a variety of classes such as Obedience & Agility.....you will often times (if not most times) see her young daughter, Lindsey by her side, learning the ropes and following ever so diligently in her mothers footsteps.  Lindsey's love of animals is abundantly apparent, as she is drawn to animals ~all species~ like glue. 



     Her  latest venture in dogdom was the purchase of her ever-sweet & devilish "Raven", a Schipperke.  Together with her beloved dog, they are working towards their Canadian Championship in style.  Not to be left out.....Cheryl's husband Darryl and her son Danny, support Cheryl & Lindsey's endeavors, hold the forte on the home front making sure everything is in order when Cheryl and Lindsey return, and being there always for support and encouragement.

Our goals at RoxEdge is to breed sound, healthy, TYPEY bullmastiffs, bred well within the written standard, and who are functional bullmastiffs in every aspect of the breed. We use OFA & PennHIP methods of hip/elbow screening, we test thyroid function and heart function, and our dogs are pre-breeding screened well before we consider breeding them.  Of course...one of the most important factors in our program is breeding in sound, happy temperaments that are adaptable for any endeavor one chooses to delve.  We partake regularly in conformation shows, having attained Championship titles on all our bully's that are of age....with several sitting in the ranks fast approaching their days of glory. We also are very involved in obedience and agility.  At present we are working our male "Chevy" in obedience, hoping to attain that ever elusive C.D. title.  Our up and coming agility dog at this time is Hanna, who lives for this sport and many times out does the shoe-in breeds in her trial runs.  Our goal at RoxEdge is NOT in the quantity of dogs we can put on the ground ....but rather to breed selectively and only when necessary to enhance our breeding program.  We are not concerned with how many champions we can attain in a litter, so much as we are concerned with providing extraordinary, loving "FOREVER" homes for the dogs that we do produce. Yes, that means that sometimes even our show quality puppies go to pet homes, after we have kept the best for ourselves.

     If your are seriously interested in the Bullmastiff, and are considering acquiring one to integrate into your family, we seriously urge you to research the breed thoroughly before you make the decision. Bullmastiffs are not necessarily the breed for everyone....no matter how tempting and appealing their look is.  They are a guard dog, and as such one should never forget that fact.  They are also not a disposable investment.....a dog is for a lifetime.....and for bullmastiffs that could mean anywhere from 8-12years! There are many extensive books on the bullmastiff available via the internet.  We have provided for you, many useful links on our links page, with which will enable you to order these books, as well as to surf and research the breed before you make any decisions.  Just as importantly, we urge you to meet and talk with as many breeders as you can, and make sure that you find a breeder who works for YOU, whose first intention is for the welfare of the breed, and who holds high ethics and breeding practices.  Please do not rush into this decision, but meet it fully informed and prepared, and be prepared to ask these breeders as many questions as they will most certainly ask you.

     In the meantime, we invite you to browse our website at your leisure, meet our dogs, and enjoy our photos and information that we provide in it. If you have any further question, please feel free to contact us at any time, and ask away!
