About Us

Nightquest kennels is set on 2.5 acres in the South Eastern suburbs of Victoria. We are a small select kennel where our dogs are foremost our guard and pet. We only breed approximately once a year as we are great believers in making sure we have time for all our dogs.

The Past
We had thoroughly researched all dog breeds and had decided to go down to the local dog show and see our two finalists in the flesh. One being the Bullmastiff and the other the Rottweiler. We were pointed in the direction of the Bullmastiffs and there was no need to continue our search. There we saw this little pudgy four month old puppy sitting upright, ears flying, greeting everyone that passed. 'Love at first sight!'. Unbelievably this puppy was for sale and we quickly organized payment. We couldn't believe our luck. What a perfect day!

We had no intention of showing 'Amy' at that stage, but after meeting and talking to some exhibitors we thought it sounded like a bit of fun. And there is what started my show career and obsession to compete in the conformation ring with Bullmastiffs. To our surprise 'Amy' gained her Australian Champion Title and I gained a hobby I love.

Further down the track we decide upon a mate for 'Amy' and we bred our first litter. What an experience! We kept a male from this litter 'Digby', who in turn gained his Australian Championship title and ended up being one of our most successful show dogs.

Despite all this 'Amy' was always at her most comfortable when curled up on the front seat of my husbands van ready for their days work. She was a beautiful girl and we treasured every memory we had with her. She is the one to credit for our continued support in this Majestic breed. Thank you Amy.


The Present
Today it is myself, Michele Edwards, and my daughter Elise Edwards who show and breed the dogs. My husband is supportive but dog showing is just not his thing. We currently have 7 Bullmastiffs living between us.
Elise and I are both ANKC registered Utility dog judges (Bullmastiff breed specialists) and adhere to the breed standard.
We will never breed from a dog that we do not think will better our contribution to the breed.


The Future
We always plan to better ourselves with each litter. We hip and elbow score all our breeding stock. We only breed from dogs that have proven their quality by gaining their Australian Championship Title and have excellent temperaments. We also import semen from OS to improve our lines.

We have big things planned for the future and hope that we can continue with the success we have already been lucky enough to experience.

We are at most of the larger Victorian Shows and are willing to introduce you to our dogs and answer any questions you may have on this magnificent breed.

We occasionally have puppies available to suitable homes but advise that there may be a wait so get your name on our waiting list as soon as you are ready. We also advise this is a breed that needs socializing and obedience, it is not a breed to leave in the backyard and ignore.
