We remember as if it was yesterday. Visiting Laurie and meeting our very first brindle bullmastiff in person, Visa. To say that we fell head over heels in love is an understatement! We so wished to have a girl just like Visa and our wishes became reality; we got our Bria and she was to be Nicole 's companion. All Nicole could think when  looking at her was how magnificent she was.... so her registered name had to say just that! 

Bria was Nicole's steadfast soul mate that never left her side. She was the most loving and caring companion, a quiet and reassuring presence of someone watching over you. Bria loved to follow Nicole everywhere; hiking, gardening or just hanging out on the deck but Bria's favorite pastime was paddling in the river, looking for little things to discover. She also loved to welcome our visitors, wagging her tail and bringing her favorite toy to share. She was  such a sweetheart. Her wonderful personality, gentleness, patience, even  temperament and love for life have won her many admirers over the years. 

Bria was the foundation of our breeding program and the "Queen". She was an alpha bitch and every dog or puppy that was brought into our home knew that at first sight and would show her all respect due. Despite  Bria's aversion  to the "show ring", she nevertheless excelled  on the occasions she was shown, bringing home numerous points towards her championship title. After presenting us with two beautiful litters, Bria  was retired and enjoyed retirement as our cherished family member. She was a devoted loving mom to her puppies.  All of her life she gave unconditional love to her families, both human and canine.

Bria lost her battle to cancer in only a few weeks. She is now pain free and waiting for us at the Rainbow Bridge with her son Joker. Her legacy lives on with a few of her granddaughters and grandsons. We have the privilege to own one of her great - granddaughters, so aptly named "Danier  I M Back at Bullmax". 

Forever in our hearts and never to be forgotten.

Rest in peace dear Bria til we meet again... love,

Nicole and family
