                                                                      Everyone Loves " Vinny"

                           Breed - Mastiff or English Mastiff, Age -2 years old , Weight- around 220 lbs,

Our Mastiff named "Vineyard" is not only the guardian of the Winery, he's also the Javelina Leap official meeter and greeter. He loves to lay on the tasting room steps and wait for people to give him dog cookies from his specail cookie jar outside the tasting room door. Visitors seem to love Vinny as much as our wine and have a lot of questions about him so we gave him his own page.

Vineyard was bred by Joe & Carla Sanchez owners of Southport Mastiffs. Vinny's dad is a showdog named Ch.Southport Sherman and is the the top winning Mastiff of all time. You can sometimes see him on the Dog Shows on TV.. Vinny has some bloodlines back to Mastiffs that were bred by Rodney & Charlotte Strong ( Rodney Strong Wines ).I guess you can say he's bred to be a wine dog. Just look at that face!
