I just recentely met the williams family. My husband was roofing their home and when he came home he told me the story of the tornadoe and all of the great dogs that they have. Since my b-day was that week and my all time favorite dog is a mastiff he drove me over the next day. Annie was very helpful answering questions on the breed and just friendly and thoughtful. A few days later she opened the doors for me to bring my children over to see the dogs and horses with an okay to come again. I did not realize the severity the tornado did until I just looked on her website. Now I will not go empty handed to her business again. I cannot offer much but I will make sure I provide dog food and other supplies. Oh and of course I will have to have one those adorable puppies. My prayers and my childrens prayers are with Annie and her family and of course with the animals.

My heart goes out to the Williams family. My advise would be God challenges us in different ways and stay strong, my family is praying for you.It is so sad that from such a tragedy people can be so cruel and it is disheartening. I am happy to say that my husband and I adopted one of the mastiff puppies from Happy Camper. We also donated 100.00 to the facility to help with the cost of taking care of the puppies. Duke is 63 lbs now and the vet said he is one of the best looking mastiff's he has seen in years. I would love to meet the Williams sometime and also want to say thanks you, because sometimes in life when bad things happen some good can also come out of it. We love Duke, my children love Duke and I am truly blessed everyday that we have added him to our family. God Bless and hang in there. Heather

I talked about you on the ASPCA online community and I posted your website in hopes that you will receive more help, donations, and positive messages to get you through this! I hope it helps! Take care and know many people are still with you!

My family has known Annie's since 1996. This is when I came to them for a harnness for a St.Bernard and ended up a friend. I know people are spreding rumors that these kind, loving, helpful people were a puppy mill. THIS IS NOT THE TRUTH!!!! When I was in the military I helped out in a shelter and SAW puppy mills, Old Style Kennels is the polar oppisite of a puppy mill.I've see them take in rescues and find them homes. The loving care given to the dogs they breed is impressive. I met the family not to long after the first tonrato hit them. And no matter how bad they needed the money to reconstruct the kennel or the house, the dogs came first. I watched her refused to sell a puppy because, a man was being verbaly abusesive to his kids and putting them in a semi dangerous situation. Her reasoning is if you treat your own kids that way what are you going to do with this pup. She knows with giant breeds you need special people to raise them, And Annie won't sell unless she thinks your compatable to the dog. Reasoning a bad match gets the animal abused or in a shelter. This attitude is proff enough that she is 100% NOT a puppy mill. Those people its all about the money. NOT for Annie, Rick and Brandy its all about the animals. I have had 3 St.bernards and now 1 English Mastiff from them. All beautiful, smart and healthly. And the ones that have passed were to cancer, a breeder can't cause that. Brandy has even taught my sons how to ride horses, I would intrust my children with responsible knowlgable people also My cousin a person in law inforcement has bought horses from Brandy. I have sent many people to The Williams, Because I TRUST them and know they ARE GOOD LOVING PEOPLE.
I'm trying to do what ever I can to help. Keep the faith. No one deserves this kind of pain and missory in their lives.

We are so happy with Old Style Kennels that we are repeat customers! We had a Mastiff that passed away in 2006 after her tenth birthday. Now we have 2 of the Irish Mastiff boys. They are big and healthy and have great temperments. A true sign of your dedication to the breeding of the dogs. I hope you will be able to continue supplying families with these gentle giants!

My heart goes out to you, please expect a package in the mail. I have some foal stuff as well as halters and leads, sending some doggie treats, and some horsey ones too. I don't have a lot to give, I wish I had more to give. My thoughts and prayers.

Anne is one of the most lovely people I have ever met! We purchased our Irish Mastiff, Jake, before the tornado hit. We were very upset and saddened to see such a terrible thing happen to a wonderful family. Anne, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Our love and prayers go out to the Williams family. We got our sweet Magilla last September. Brandi has been nothing but helpful in all of our puppy issues, she truly is the best tempered dog we have ever had. She has other rescue sisters. We are BIG dog lovers. the day I read of what happened to the family I had tears running down my face, and felt so helpless. My middle son wanted to raise money so for his bday he had kids bring only donations. It was a pleasure to mail the money to the family. We think of you all the time and hope you are making progress and your furry loves are home again where they belong.
