30 Aug 2004 Nick and Staci Langseth South Dakota USA 04 Aug 2003 Mark, Staci and I are so pleased with Tucker. He is very intelligent, laid back and is a great buddy for Rudy. He is already potty trained, and can sit and give five. He is in the process of learning to come and stay. He is really well behaved and loves to travel. We went to Spearfish and Devils Tower a couple of weekends ago, and up to Lake Metigoshie this past weekend. Tucker really loves the water and he loves to go camping. In other news my Mom has really warmed up to Tucker and said to my dad that, "She will have to see how much he drools." My dad has always wanted a mastiff type dogue. Everyone just loves Tucker. He has been a big lift in our lives and Rudy's as well. Where can I go to get Tucker's Therapy certificate? We were also looking at showing Tucker in Amateur dog shows, just to get the DDB more recognized by people. We were wondering what we would need to do in order to do that, and if you knew for shows to look at and where to look? We can't brag enough about him, he is a really special and sweet dogue. Well will talk to you later, Nick and Staci Langseth Melissa Cashatt missandmatt@cableone.net Texarkana Texas USA 11 Apr 2003 Loved your site. Met Ceaser and Hercules' parents passing through town for the show in Austin. I've loved Bordeaux's for years and Jim and Shane gave me your information. My husband and I are very interested in the privilege of potentially owning one of these beauties in the future. Thank you for the amazing work you do upholding the Bordeaux to the high standard in which this breed deserves. charles freeman ffreemo@yahoo.com detroit mich wayne 07 Apr 2003 you have some very nice dogs but love them Lawrence Cameron myveryown@primus.ca Canada 02 Apr 2003 Your web site looks great Mark keep up the great work. The dogues look great your males are looking really nice. B Girl is doing great. Best Wishes Lawrence Debbie dmamachick@aol.com Wauwatosa WI usa 22 Mar 2003 Lori Rosales lao_and_lori@yahoo.com Santa Clarita CA. USA 19 Mar 2003 Hello, My husband and I have been considering a Dogue for some time now. I have secretly begun researching breeders in hopes of acquiring the perfect "baby" as a surprise for my husband's birthday. I honestly believe I can now stop searching because I've found that breeder right here. Your website is absolutely wonderful and is some how different from all the others. There is so much needed information on the breed as well as testimonials from your clients. The love you have for this breed shows in the faces of the BEAUTIFUL Dogue's that you have helped to produce. I'm in love already and I'm sure my husband will be as well when he receives his birthday gift. I eagerly look forward to making contact with you! -Lori Rosales Christina Van Deysen greyfriar8@hotmail.com West Virginia USA 10 Mar 2003 I greatly enjoyed our talk today and am excited about the prospect of a new Bordeaux in my life. I never thought I could find another Dogue De Bordeaux like my "Boo" (1989-1995), but I discovered after speaking to you that we share the same philosophy and expectations of these fabulous Dogues. Your Bordeaux's are beautiful and I anxiously await the addition of one of your pups into my family. Cheryl Maley cmaley3@attbi.com Lockport IL USA 09 Mar 2003 I just had to drop a note to you. Your website is just spectacular! Your puppies are all adorable, and your adult dogs are beautiful. I just recently, only 2 weeks ago, as a matter of fact, had to put down my "Hooch". He was 9 years old and had a long battle with cushings disease. He wasn't just my dog, he was my friend. He brought me 9 wonderful years and I was blessed with so many memories. I miss him dearly and just looking at your new babies makes me cry. It feels like it was just yesterday I picked him up from the airport. He flew in from Spokane Wa. I believe it's called Riverbed Farms now. Back in 1994 it was Hilltop Farms. He suffered with the hip dysplasia at 8months and had surgery way back then. He was a fighter and that didn't stop him. He bounced back from that and had a full life. I do miss him so much. There is such a void in my heart for my best friend. Looking at your puppies just makes me smile. I had to write to you to comment on how outstanding and knowledgeable your website is on this breed. Your dogs are like I said absolutely beautiful. Of course the puppies are just too cute. I will someday for sure, have another Bordeaux. There's no other breed like it in the world. Take care, and thanks for your time, Cheryl Maley Russell Hammelswang dogues@bigpond.com gold coast queensland Australia 01 Mar 2003 BEAUTIFUL ANIMALS WE ARE THE PROUD OWNERS OF TWO DDB's AND ARE IN SEARCH OF LITERATURE ON THE BREED. Pamela Cortese aceracer1969@msn.com Minnesota 27 Feb 2003 I meet Mark and his Dogues two years ago when I purchased a female puppy from Von Krenz Bordeaux. We registered her as Von Krenz Rosebud Lady in Red. I call her Gretta. Gretta is a beautiful girl. She has won Best in Breed Puppy at the International All Breed Show. We have taken Obedience and Confirmation classes, which she did very well in. Gretta is very friendly. I take her to visit my 85 year old Grandmother at her senior apartment building, Gretta is very well mannered and loves the visit as much as Grandma does. Gretta is also wonderful with children. She is very sweet and gentle. I now have four dogs from Mark. I own Gretta and I am the Foster Mother to three other females, Nina, Bubbles and Terra. As a child I wanted a herd of dogs, I believe I have accomplished my dream and more. Pam Victor Quintana techno_robot2020@yahoo.com King City California U.S.A 25 Feb 2003 What a great site for a D.D.B lover. Really amazing animals. Nicholas Langseth langer_n@yahoo.com Grand Forks North Dakota U.S.A. 20 Feb 2003 My fiancée (Staci) and I visited Mark this past August (for several hours)! I was very impressed with his kennel. The Dogues were unbelievable. They were very gentle and playful. Staci and I felt right at home with Mark and his Dogues. Mark is very easy going and answered every question we had. After meeting with Mark and his Dogues I know that the DDB is the dog that is right for us and that Marks kennel is where I want to get her. I have never seen anyone at a kennel take such care for his babies as I did see with Mark. I have visited 5 different kennels one DDB (VonKrenz) and 4 English Mastiff breeders. I knew leaving Marks place that I wanted to go through him to get my DDB. Thanks Mark for all the Information. Your Dogues sell themselves but you put the EXCLAMATION point on them! I look forward to a long relationship with you and your Dogues. Nick Langseth Alex feidoy@yahoo.com san francisco CA USA 18 Feb 2003 I love your dogues! They are just so beautiful.... If I am going to get my first dogue... its definitely going to be a dogue de bordeaux! I just can't wait till I get to Colorado! Amanda Greenley coltyngreenley@yahoo.com Lisbon ND 12 Feb 2003 You sound like great people and I wish there was more like you. I have a bordeaux that came from a very bad home. We are now paying for it in vet bills. I will never go without a bordeaux, they are a great breed. I hope you keep up the good work. Neil Greenberg n_greenberg@hotmail.com Bethesda MD USA 10 Feb 2003 It is not often that you can adopt an entire family by purchasing one dogue, but that certainly was the case for me. Mark & Patricia have given me more than a pet Dogue, they have given me a member of my family: Von Krenz Freyja the Valkyrie, aka Pansy. They have also brought me into THEIR family as well. There are MANY things that separates Von Krenz from an ordinary breeder, but the most important for me is the care and integrity that they show with each person and with each dogue. If you are looking for QUALITY then you have come to the right breeder. Neil & Pansy If any one has ANY questions regarding Von Krenz, I am more than happy to answer them via email. Chris Chaney Baltimore M.d. 21220 U.S.A 05 Feb 2003 Mark I really enjoyed our talk. Thank you for your time. If by any chance in the next couple of months you have a male puppy availably. Please think of me. After I receive my payment for my Presa I will be in contact with you to discuss my options again and will have my wife Kelly also talk with you. I think I would like someday to be part of your Bordeaux family. THANKS AGAIN CHRIS CHANEY Becky Jorgenson Mankato MN USA 03 Feb 2003 These Dogues are beautiful.

Greetings from Belgium ... http://users.skynet.be/bOb   rick & lisa thompson   richt0410@aol.com     FLORIDA     23 Jan 2003 HI MARK ! just read the story about "little lucy" and our hearts go out to the family and their courageous ddb. We also had a horror story of our own w/ a less then honest breeder (blanch-o-kennels here in Florida) with a cane corso. This story lasted 6 months w/ THOUSANDS of dollars and lost wages and lots of trips to leigh mcbride(sumpter co. fl.animal hospital). she is a great vet and worth the trip if you are in central fla. We were VERY gun shy about getting another dog till we found you. we now know what to expect and wanted others to know how comfortable they can be with your ddb's and you !!! we love our BRONX and will send more pictures soon. thanks again, Rick and Lisa   Laura Stubbs   princesslaura@hotmail.com   Victoria   British Columbia   Canada   22 Jan 2003 Great Site!

Coping with the fire that took his life would have been IMPOSSIBLE if it wasn't for you and that wonderful little girl you gave me...I am so excited to become apart of this great breed and can't wait to have my first litter...Thank you so much for all the advice you have given me .You have made this a great experience....... Sincerely, Abby Reid   Britt and Tracy Crowley   TLCLBC@AOL.COM   Suffolk   Virginia   US   19 Jan 2003 Hello, my wife and I are very interested in DDB's. We have two major concerns, their names are Harley (1 and 1/2 year old 8 lb female min pin) and Sisko (3 and1/2 year old 2 lb male Chihuahua). We want to make sure that our dogs will be compatible with a DDB if socialized properly. These two are good around their normal playmates but as with many other dogs they tend to be cautious of new friends. My wife is a stay-at-home mom for Harley and Sisko ( no children) and I work across the street from our home and if needed can return home from work for care of the DDB. While we don't have a house with a yard, we do have a 2300 square foot condo and would prefer the DDB to be an indoor pet with the other two. Exercise is important to us , so the DDB would be getting walked at least 1-2 miles per day with my wife and I. If you can give us your opinion on our plans with your past experience of DDB's, we would greatly appreciate the input. Aside from this if it does work out we would prefer a female and could show vet references from our other two pets.

Thanks again for going the extra mile for me. I left it out of our conversation last week and I wanted to let you know that my health is quite poor at this time but I feel much better of late. I have spent just about every moment with Hooch. He is so wonderful. I'm sure you hear it all the time, but I must say that my buddy Hooch is so special to our family. We love him so much and you cannot how many smiles he delivers. In fact I am smiling right now! He looks very healthy- great color- confirmation etc.. I do not have a computer at home and I have not been at my office of late, so I apologize for my lack of communication. I am developing some new pictures and hope to have them as well as other info mailed by tomorrow. Merry Christmas to you, your wife & kids!

I called the house and left a message also. Thank you Julie   Wilhelm claussen   Weston   Fl.   USA   14 Sep 2002 congratulations you have a nice site, I just would like to have more info about the breed, if this breed socialized with kids? I have 3 sons ,the youngest is 7, 13, 16, the reason that I'm asking this is because I had a Rott and that dog did not have a good temper with my sons, and I don't want to have a dog like that again. What about prices? Is a French breed ? Sincerely Wilhelm Claussen   Scott Tilton   St Paul   MN   USA   24 Aug 2002 I've recently moved to the Twin Cities area and have a 6yr old male DDB.

(And he's not a chubby puppy). Thanks for taking the time to talk me through some of my questions. Cecilia   Jim & Rachal Chohonis   Miami   FL   US   03 Aug 2002 I sent you an email a couple days ago reference the three male puppies. Please email me with info on the puppies, their Sire and Dam. Thanks Jim Chohonis   Debi Taylor         Canada   03 Aug 2002 Hi Mark and Patricia, My sincere congratulations to you and Nina!!  I bet the puppies are absolutely adorable!  How could they not be?  I have to admit that Nina is, by far,   one of my favorite dogues.   I'm sure that its because she is the first dogue I ever got my hands on in real life.   She is also one of the nicest looking dogues I've seen....  My girlfriend from Denmark (also a breeder) really likes Nina, she's checked out your site after I was at the Oct/01 show and was really impressed.   I've been really considering a puppy as of late and am oh so tempted (That October show is none too far away....I should just stay away from the site is what I should do!!! haha)  I'm always so impressed with the updates on your site... You've done a really great job with the it.   I can hardly wait to see Nina's puppy pictures. I know breeding sometimes is hit and miss....but what would be the time frame be for another breeding of Nina?  I'm sure that you have a very large demand for puppies and with them being few and far between puppies are spoken for quite quickly.   This litter is more than likely is no exception.   I guess that does have some advantages, one, that you get to hand pick the forever homes for the babies.   That in its self would be comforting to me, knowing that they were going to the best possible homes (and they were really wanted ). Anyway, I just thought I would email and say hi and congratulations!!! See you in October...I'll probably type at you before then Warmest regards, Debi Mike and Kellie Vail   michvail@attbi.com   Lynn   Ma   USA   26 Jul 2002 Hi Mark, We thought we would let you know how Lola is doing. She is 6 1/2 months now and weighs 76lbs. She is a celebrity in our neighborhood. Everywhere we go someone asks about her, especially the kids that live in our neighborhood. She gets so excited to meet new people and is great with children. Last week a two year old child that lives next door to us wondered into Lola's fenced in yard unattended to play with her. I just happened to look outside and saw Lola being so gentle with the child kissing her. This just shows how gentle Lola is with kids. Lola is doing great. Mike and Kellie   Greg Gaines & Family   LA   CA   USA   24 Jul 2002 Mark, I just got the latest Slobber yesterday and perused the critiques from the Natl. show. You should be proud Mark. You had some very nice placements and the critiques were quite favorable. I'm impressed! ;) Things are moving along nicely now with our Rotty pup. He tracks well and is almost done getting his adult teeth. I am going to stay in touch with you for a few reasons. * we agree on the health/temp issues * you have some nice dogues and I really like the DDB * you have always had the time to talk/answer questions * and LASTLY...because my wife was telling me she would like to get another dog (yes another) in the near future. She loves our little pup and I think she's getting more into the dogs than even she thought possible. When she told me this, I thought of you and your dogues. Then I got the Slobber and was very happy to see your dogues getting nice critiques. Nice job. I'll stay in touch and if you're in LA anytime, please tell me so we can possibly meet.

Love the web- site keep up the good work..   Danielle Kessman and Ginger   Woodstock, NY, USA   12 Jun 2002 Dear Mark, I got your message the other day. Sorry it's been so long, I'm always running around in the summer, golf season is in full swing (excuse the pun). I hope everything is going well at Von Krenz Bordeaux. Ginger is doing very well, she is extremely sweet and smart. She just went through a "teenager" phase but seems to be maturing well. She is very popular and everyone who meets her is always asking for her. Everyone loves her because she is so sweet (she loves to lick everyone) and she is a very beautiful dogue. She is also a very good guard dog as well, she is smart enough to know when to be tough. She just went to the vet yesterday and weighed in at 130 pounds. She is starting to fill out and looks good as far as conformation is concerned. She is certainly the most athletic and energetic Bordeaux we've had. She jumps around like she's a Springer spaniel. Her health has been good. She met another Bordeaux at the vet yesterday, one of two or three others in the area that my vet sees. Ginger is very friendly but the other dogue was growling so she kept her distance. The dogue, Rosie, was a different physical type, short and squat with an ugly head. The owner remarked at how beautiful Ginger was and told of all the health problems her dogue has had. She also had heard of Ginger because people who golf had seen her and news got around. She's somewhat famous in the area, hence the registered name Hollywood Girl. Well, I will be sending out some pictures soon. Until next time. Sincerely, Danielle Kessman and Ginger   Rick, Robin & Von Krenz Marcu   Providence, Rhode Island, USA   12 Jun 2002 Hi Mark! Thank you for the phone call. Marcus and I were thrilled to hear from you on Monday morning. Marcus says, " Hi Grand papa"! ... Rick and I will be calling you sometime this week preferably in the evening. By the way I don't remember if I told you but your updated web site is absolutely phenomenal. I am on your site often....I love it.. Great job! I wanted to give you a quick update on Marcus. What can I say, he is a PEACH. He is sooooooooo handsome, he looks like Augie Boy. He is gentle, loving, playful and so happy. He is growing so fast, however somehow I think he will always think he is a little lap dog. Since he was a little baby I haven't stopped holding him and loving & kissing him and he still wants me to do this. He sleeps with me practically every night and he gets right up next to me. He can't get close enough, it is so precious. He loves to be hugged and kissed and he especially loves to give lots of kisses. We just love him more than you could ever imagine. Marcus comes to work with me every single day and he loves it. Now he stays all day with me. At lunch we go for a walk and play. Then at the end of the day he can't wait to see his Daddy, Ricky. We don't use the crate anymore. We have started to let him roam the apartment a little at a time. The longest we have left him a lone is almost four hours and he did nothing wrong. Not even an accident. He is so amazing. Rick and I think he is a genius. We have a personal trainer for him who is wonderful. Her name is Colleen and she comes to our house once a week. She just loves Marcus and he feels the same about her and will do anything for her. She tells us how smart he is and especially at this young age. This is her first Dogue de Bordeaux to train and she is thoroughly enjoying every minute of it. We take Marcus to the park daily and he has a blast with his friends, he can't get there fast enough. I love to watch him play and have so much fun. Oh and he snores so loud, it is the cutest thing. Everything he does amazes me Mark. I simply ADORE him and will never stop being grateful to you for breeding such a PERFECT puppy. Thank you again, you are a one of a kind person, don't you ever change!!! Talk to you very soon, We send our love, Robin & Marcus and Ricky too of course!!   Candy Falduto, meandjedgar@aol.com   ft walton beach, florida, usa   06 Jun 2002 If you are lucky enough to adopt a Von Krenz Bordeaux into your family you find something very unique among breeders. J. Edgar has passed the 2 1/2 year mark and Mark STILL keeps in contact with us. My Edgar is the most amazing dogue. Thanks to his early socialization started by Mark and Patricia and continued here, he loves the world and the world loves him. I have seen beautiful dogues from other breeders but I have never seen such healthy, even tempered beauties as the Von Krenz line. Thanks Mark and Patricia, for caring as much as you do. psssst.... take out the goof before this... Edgar put his chin on the keyboard and hit the enter.... honest   Foord Lyman, Foord22@aol.com   Asheville, NC, USA   06 Jun 2002 I have a Bordeaux, and it is the best dog I have ever own or been around. My is 2 years and 4months old. Foord Lyman   Jenny Morris, morrisjg@centurytel.net   Sparta, WI, usa   05 Jun 2002 Great Page Lots of good Info, So tell me how do I know where to by a puppy from?? I have been looking for a number of years but a little shy as this is such a rare breed, I just found a vet in my area, who is new to the area but she knows the mastiff breeds. Now I an ready to start looking for a dog. I have looked at the rescues they are all on the east coast or west coast, Is this a good place to start or should I just start with a puppy?? I have seen and talked to a lot of breeders on the internet when I ask if they have their dogs hips tested they tell me they can not until they are 3 is this true and if so is breeding them before they get tested a good idea?? would gratefully appreciate your knowledge and in-put as I desperately want a Bordeaux but I do not want to make a mistake. Thank You for your time Jenny Morris   SANDY WATTERS, SWATTERS@ARVEST.COM   BARTLESVILLE, OKLAHOMA, U.S.A.   13 May 2002 Mark personally delivered our baby to us in March 2002. How many other breeders do this? I imagine few if any. Odin is a male from a Mugs/Shnookems litter and is gorgeous and well behaved. This is our second Dogue. We lost the first one due to kidney failure, which was probably due to poor breeding from another breeder. So for our second Dogue we sought a reputable breeder who really cared for their animals along with health and bloodline guidelines being respected. Mark does all the above. He loves his babies and is careful where he places all his babies babies. Mark has such a wonderful web-site which is so full of good information, but the thing that compelled me to call was the love for his babies, and that is when we decided Mark was the breeder for us. Odin is a great addition to our home. He is wonderful with our girls, 3 and 7, and seems to respect all the family members including my husband and I. Thanks Mark - our home is once again complete!   Saul Komisar, skomisar@aol.com   Nashville, TN, U.S.A.   09 May 2002 Mark: We wanted to thank you again for guiding us through the purchase of a Dogue De Bordeaux. Both you and Patricia were very generous with your time, answering all of our many questions. All of your efforts culminated with the purchase of Lucca several months ago. We have really enjoyed him and he has proven to be exactly what we expected: a healthy, well temperamented, beautiful, Dogue de Bordeaux. Again, many thanks to you and keep up the good work. The Komisar Family Nashville, TN   THE 3 BROTHERS , the3brosmx@yahoo.com.mx   TOLUCA, OF MEXICO, MEXICO   06 May 2002 HELLO! GREAT SITE!  PLEASE SIGN OUR NEW GUESTBOOK !   Joseph Henriques, jahenriques@hotmail.com   Brooklyn, New York, USA   03 May 2002 I love the site as well as all of the information. You are very much successful in coming across as well informed, well intentioned breeders. I hope you continue to do your best to further enrich the breed.   Von Krenz Dozer Voynich   St. Stephens, MN, USA   01 May 2002 Hi there guys, It's me, Dozer. I just wanted to thank you guys for finding such wonderful people (Lana and Nathan) for me to live with. I've got brothers and 2 sisters to play with. And I get to sleep in a huge bed. As you can see from the attached picture, I've got a great deal here. Even my toys get to sleep in bed. I do miss you guys and my first home and family but this one's pretty good too. I hope all of my brothers get homes as nice as mine. Thanks again. Doze   Christine Sheridan, Chriseos@snet.net   East Hartford, Connecticut, USA   29 Apr 2002 My little princess Lola is almost a year old! I can't explain how much we love her! Mark has been so very helpful since the first time I spoke with him about getting a von krenz ddb. I HIGHLY recommend him to anyone looking for a healthy, happy, and beautiful ddb!! I couldn't be happier with my decision. Lola brightens my life, and I'm certain all of Mark's clients feel the same way about their "babies" too! Thank you Mark! -Christine Sheridan   Michelle James, PeachyM1984@aol.com   , Maryland   26 Apr 2002 After attending the DDBS National in Carlisle, PA, I am so happy that I have a Von Krenz Bordeaux. I definitely felt like it was an "us" and "them" situation. I think Mark had 9 dogs at the show and they looked almost like the picture perfect example of what a DDB should be. Mark is great to deal with before and after the sale. Before you purchase a puppy, get a magazine or go online and contact the various breeders. Some breeders are just in it for the money and they don't care who their dogs end up with. Just as you are evaluating Mark, he is trying to make sure you know what you are getting yourself into. Take your time and you will be glad that you did. You are welcome to email me or IM me anytime. Michelle   Marcia Murray-Stoof, Marcia Murray-Stoof   Barrie, Ontario, Canada   11 Apr 2002 HI, Your site as always is great. I have been checking back from time to time. I am going to ask what may seem a stupid question, but I always think no question is stupid, so here I go. When shown Hip, Elbow reports from a vet, what should I be looking for in the way of Good Scores; i.e.: Numbers/Ratio? Like is 2 Good or Bad, Is the higher the numbers better or the lower? I have had people tell me their DDB's scores, but am clueless as to what would be considered Good/ Fair or Poor scores. Help in layman's terms would be great thanks. Marcia   Richard and Andrea Lima, andrealima1@aol.com   Oxnard, CA, USA   08 Apr 2002 You've got some beauties on your hands. We respect your screening process and you attempts to keep your standards of breeding high. Everyone is a winner in the end- the families and the breed!

The new look and all the information is great. But.... I want to know.... WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO PUT DESI ON YOUR SITE? LOL I'm sure you'd like the world to know about the beautiful girl of I have that you bred and I Championed! Keep up the good work!

Before my wife and i even made a phone call we had learned a lot about the breed. All the family pictures and pictures of the little ones were excellent. But i really thought the pictures of AUGIE were my favorite just fell in love with them. Then came the first of three phone calls to Mark which was an experience all its self. Very polite and probably the most knowledgeable breeder I've ever talked to since trying to find a Bordeaux. After the next two phone calls we new he was the one. So we made the choice to fill out the puppy application. Hopefully we will accepted as future proud parents of a bouncing baby boy Bourdeaux. VERY EXCITED!!!!Also looking forward to meeting Mark and some of the others in our area who purchased some of their kids. Keep up the excellent job. Rick & Rene Reilly   Ken Rogers, large_mammal@yahoo.com   Toronto, Ontario, Canada   11 Mar 2002 Just met the breed at the Toronto Sportsman show. We spent some time speaking with Leslie of My Very Own Bordeaux and found the link to your site off hers. Congratulations on a very well laid out site. I commend your efforts with the breed and am envious of your family. Best, -ken   Ron Mattix, birdbucher@aol   Sioux City, Iowa, USA   09 Mar 2002 Great page Mark, I doubt you remember me it has been quite a while since I last talked with you. My grandson found your folder in my system and we spent about an hour together looking at pics of Augie and some of the pups. We went to your website and spent another hour looking at pics and learning about the breed. I went through part of the guest book and I see others have picked up on your love of the breed and dedication to it you and Patricia show. Again GREAT site and all the best to you and yours.

Not only is the site thorough and welcoming, so is the breeder/owner. I am so very pleased to have seen this site and spoken to Mark this afternoon. He doesn't know it just yet, but he'll receive a call from me tomorrow advising that I am going with the Bordeaux and NOT the Bull Mastiff. And, not only am I doing that, but I'm giving him a deposit to hold my new baby. My little girl is going to be soooooo happy! She already thinks DADDY is the greatest, what will she think now? ........my poor wife ; ) Thanks Mark.......you don't know it yet, but I'm already looking forward to my delivery!!!!!   David J. Rose, svenrose@yahoo.com   Nashville, TN, USA   19 Feb 2002 Hi, I really enjoyed your web site. I'm a proud owner of a 7 month old Bullmastiff (I-Gor). The DDB's always amazed me.

I think your rebate program is a wonderful thing. I will be e-mailing you with questions.   Holly Lynne   Spring Grove, IL, USA   18 Feb 2002 Hi Mark... I always look forward to checking out this sight and all of the delightful comments you receive (w/ excellent references), but of coarse not nearly as forward to one day purchasing one of these lovable "babies!" I took all of the information we discussed over the phone (only a month ago) seriously as I compared your philosophy, background, and guarantees with the info. other breeders had to offer. Put it this way -almost all of my research and notes I gathered from those I called had equaled to my one conversation with you! I felt not only much more informed with the ideas you brought to my attention, but comfortable, too. As much as I would love to have one of these beautiful puppies right now, I understand the time, commitment, and more time involved in the care my Dogue De Bordeaux will deserve --the kind I'm currently not able to provide with college, work, and Adam's & my plan to buy a house summer of 2003. First things first! Though, I'm not ready for purchasing this companion now, I'll be more than ready when the time does come. Still, I'm sure Adam and I will greatly enjoy visiting "your family" this summer :) ~Holly~   jim chapin, jimnlynn@hmcltd.net   norwalk, ohio, america   17 Feb 2002 my wife and I both enjoy your new layout I have looked at many, many dog and dog related websites this is the most informative site I've found thanks for being so thorough   Kees Melissant, cmelissant1@chello.nl   , the Netherlands   12 Feb 2002 Beautiful homepage with some good dogs.

Congratulations on taking so much pride in breeding your Dogue's.   Laura Henry, laurahenry21@hotmail.com   St. Cloud, MN, Stearns   06 Feb 2002 I feel very fortunate to have been able to visit the Von Krenz Dogue De Bordeauxs in Afton. What a beautiful, peaceful setting for the Dogues to live! I was impressed by how well behaved and happy they all seemed. The highlight of my day in Afton (besides holding the painfully cute puppies) was walking through the woods with the free roaming Dogues. At first I wondered how Mark could keep them separate so easily - calling out their names without thinking. (We saw saw so many!) Then, it became clearer and clearer how unique each one was - personality wise and physically. The visit made me very sure that I did want to have a Dogue De Bordeaux(s?). I love their friendly personalities more than anything - which is obviously attributed to the love and attention they receive. Their intimidating first impression becomes almost comical when you see how they interact with each other and with people. Thanks for the experience, Mark!   Ginger Murrer, Ginger.Murrer@bisys.com   Brainerd, MN, US   05 Feb 2002 This is a great website for information on the Dogue.

Regards Marcia Jeffrey & Ann Bang, dabanger1@hotmail.com   Bloomington, MN, USA   28 Jan 2002 Ann and I just wanted to say how delightful it was to meet with Mark and his family (Dogue de Bordeauxs). He is extremely knowledgeable about the breed and left none of our questions unanswered. He even took the liberty to show hip x-rays of his dogs which Ann and I found to be extremely impressive. In addition, when our friends show interest in the breed, we will be sure to send them to Mark and his family.

BOO AMAZES US EVERYDAY WITH HIS WONDERFUL PERSONALITY, WIT, AND LOVE!! IT SEEMS LIKE HE'S GROWING BY THE MINUTE, CURRENTLY AT 110LBS.!!!!!!! HOPE THAT YOU RECEIVED THE PAST PICTURES THAT WE SENT YOU. WE RECENTLY PURCHASED A DIGITAL CAMERA SO THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO E-MAIL YOU LOTS OF PICTURES OF "BOO"!!!! HOPE TO TALK WITH YOU SOON AND POSSIBLY STOP BY THIS SPRING! THERE IS LOTS TO TALK ABOUT WITH THIS LITTLE MONSTER AND HIS FUTURE!!!!!!!!! Okay here's the long awaited guestbook signing! Where do I start? 6 month's ago, I sat through Tom Hank's "Turner & Hooch"! (Yes, I was bored) It just so happens that during this time my family and I had been debating the purchase of new pup. One bag of Twizzlers & 90 minutes later my son and I decided that we had to have this Hooch dog. So I grabbed my internet surf board and hit the waves. Needless to say there were thousands of websites out there, where should I begin??????? As luck would have it, I found myself at a website entitled VonKrenz Bordeaux A Benchmark Breeder! There I met a somewhat unorthodox gentleman by the name of Mark Roberts. Six months later, I feel qualified to hold an intelligent conversation with those who have been involved with this breed for many years. From our very first conversation, Mark has been willing to share all that he knows about this breed. Never has he made me feel as though I was trying to gain entry into some SECRET SOCIETY! He studied my likes and dislikes about the breed and made sure that I did not get a puppy until he could offer me exactly what I had in mind. Seriously though, I am a firm believer that God guides my steps and I believe there was no exception in my meeting Mark Roberts and his lovely wife Patricia at Von Krenz Bordeaux. LASTLY, I MUST ADD!!!!!! Mark has produced an outstanding pup, who most certainly is a candidate for "Rookie of the Year" VonKrenz "Show Stopper" We call him "Sosa" This boys a must see folks! Look out Bordeaux fans there's a new sheriff in town! Broderick Muhammad <ellennbroderick@aol.com> Markham, il USA - HEY MARK, THANK YOU FOR THE BUNDLE OF JOY THAT YOU GAVE US!!! "BOO" IS DOING GREAT, HE IS BECOMING MORE COMFORTABLE EVERY DAY, AND OF COURSE, GROWING EVERY DAY!! HE IS A "SHOW STOPPER" NO MATTER WHERE WE GO WITH HIM. WE DEFINITELY MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE WITH "VON KRENZ DDB" AND YOU!!! WE ONLY WISH THAT EVERY CHOICE THAT WE MAKE ON A DAILY BASIS WOULD HAVE THE BACKING THAT YOU AND VON KRENZ PROVIDE TO ITS POTENTIAL "EXTENDED FAMILY". THANX, ADRIAN & KARYN ADRIAN & KARYN <AJF337@HOTMAIL> TAMPA, FL USA - Hi Mark! Chistine Sheridan recommended you. She has one of your pups (Lola) and she is beautiful. We have a dog, Ariel- a Dalmatian that is 10 years old. We hope she lasts for a long time, but in this event she does go to doggie heaven we would be very interested in getting one of your pups. I see the end results in Lola and you are truly a exceptional breeder. Will keep in touch. Gdog & Gdog G Gdog Gdo < > South Windsor, Ct USA - Mark, I would just like to thank you for everything you have done for our family. The addition of "HOGAN" has seemed to put all the pieces together. Hogan is a bundle of joy I don't know what we would do with out him. As a first time DDB owner I could not have had a better experience than I have had and hope to continue being apart of the Von-Krenz family. I will be keeping you up dated from time to time on how "HOGAN" is doing. Sincerely Joe And Allison Joe and Allison Carter <Aschiebler@aol.com> Jax , Fl USA - Mark and Patricia, the quality of the dogs that I saw and was able to help you guys handle ;) is unsurpassed it was great to meet you in St. Louis at the show, the time you spent with me was great, I could not ask for more from a breeder.

We are united by one passion, the pleasure by the DOGUES DE BORDEAUX. It is the best Dog in the World !!! I saw their beautiful family, and your excellent dogs. I met some of their ancestors. Congratulations. I want you to continue happy with them !!!. I will pass your site to all my dogs friends. I invite you to see my D.Bx. I repeat my greeting and my congratulation. Good luck for the future. Juan José Juan José Baione <dogodeburdeos@algosyagant.com.ar> Buenos Aires, Argentina - Our puppy Porky is now 4 months old. My husband and I contacted several other breeders and just didn't feel comfortable dealing with them. Mark was great to deal with and he answered all of my questions. He is very accessible before and AFTER you get your puppy. I would recommend him to anyone. Feel free to email me or IM me if you see me online. Michelle James <PeachyM1984@aol.com> MD USA - Hi Patricia & Mark I have enjoyed your site. Very nice dogues. Keep up the good work. I will send you the pictures what you ask from me. I hope see you soon. Imre and the "gang" Imre Hidvegi <jimmy62@mail.interware.hu> Budapest, Hungary - Why would any one buy a Dogue from anyone else! I love my Dogue, and he came from the Von Krenz line, and Mark is just the best to tell you everything you would ever want to know about the breed. I am even considering buying another and would only buy from Mark. Thank you for my GREAT Dogue. Paula Prince <lafhors1@gte.net> AR USA - Great site, really helpful, keep up the good work! Juan Carlos Munoz <PRmanace@aol.com> Pope AFB, NC USA - I would like to thank Mark and Patricia for making sure I was put in a wonderful home. I get to do many activities (obedience, ring sport, narcotics detection & acorn hunting - my personal favorite)) as well as get SPOILED ROTTEN! I am even "allowed" to get the best seat on the couch for TV watching. Von Krenz Freyja the Valkyrie (AKA Pansy) <neilg@andovertrading.com> Bethesda, MD USA - I have really enjoyed your site, and must say that I am a real fan of the Bordeaux. K.
