Dottie The Rottie

27-Apr-1997 to 01-Mar-2006

"When Angels visit Earth, this is what they look like."

Dottie the Rottie was the "Grizz" in GrizzMuffley. Even though she was not a Bullmastiff and they are our focus in breeding, she is half of the foundation of GrizzMuffley, along with Katie. This is because her temperament was an inspiration to us and a reminder of the way we want GrizzMuffley puppies to turn out - lovely social well balanced dogs that are a pleasure to have in your family.

Dottie came into our family at 3 weeks of age as Stacey's bottle fed baby, as her mother was not feeding them from 2 weeks of age. She was proud Aunty to the Bullmastiff Kids and big sister to Katie. Her favourite past time was guarding the fire from her chosen spot on her lamb's wool bed or sorting those darn bullmastiffs out when they got too big for their boots. Dottie was on a permanent mission to get Stacey out of the water bed so she could get into it with Brendan, her 'Daddy'. She occupies a very special place in our hearts and after a short fight with bone cancer, returned home to Heaven surrounded by those who loved her and who are now very much poorer for the loss of her.

Everytime we hear the song "Always something there to remind me", we think of you baby. Everywhere we turn, there is a memory of our precious girl.

She was affectionately known to us as 'Angel Face'. Unique, special and truly a one of a kind girl to be cared for by.

Our hearts beat because you taught them how to Dottie. You are always adored and worshipped. We strive always to be worthy of you and true to your love. Miss you so my Angel Face.
