Happy Holidays from De La Tierra Alta Kennel!

Congratulations to Minion de la Tierra Alta (Laia x Quark litter) - and to Minion's owners Mary & Keith for their accomplishments. We are very proud of them all. Minion received his SSA Agility Beginner Standard Title. Took first place in his first trial, then second place next behind a Border Collie. Minion has also earned his NW 1 Nose work title thus making him the first Pyrenean Mastiff in the USA to earn this title. His owner says this is a great sport even for the biggest dogs. Thank you also to Alyssia (Flash of Paws Photography) for sending the awesome collage.

Sadly several days ago, we lost male #4 unexpectedly. He was doing well up to the age 3 week mark - but he was a puppy that had to be revived after birth, so while we have no clues as to his passing, he is very sadly missed.

After all these years, we finally completed and edited our video footage of the wonderful Pyrenean Mastiff in Spain. A documentary and history of the Pyrenean Mastiff (Mastin Del Pirineo) filmed twenty years ago in the Spanish Pyrenees mountains.

In 1998, our travels took us to Spain to meet with the Spanish breeders and learn more about this wonderful breed.

Featured in this documentary are interviews with Spanish breeders, including information on breed standard, maintaining the type of the breed, and many of the Spanish champions from years past.
