My name is Jennifer Lambden.  I have had dogs my entire life, but I have been lucky enough to have mastiffs for the last sixteen years. 

Right now, I share an acre in South Texas with four beautiful apricot girls, Bailey, Brianna, Buffy, and Willow, who spend their days swimming and lounging on the porch.  Lately, we mostly enjoy just hanging out at the house, but have participated in events from conformation to obedience, rally, carting, and therapy work. 

Carting isn’t just an activity for the show ring.  Brianna helps me with yard work – she’s even helped me get my riding mower unstuck!  When I get her harness out, she jumps around and is so happy that she’s going to get to work. 

One of the things I love most about mastiffs is their working dog heritage.  Carting is one of the ways that our mastiffs can continue that heritage.

I was very honored when I was asked to judge open draft at this year’s specialty, and I look forward to seeing some great teams working!
