Kharisma Mastiffs

Kharisma Mastiffs, run by Karen Pettry in Lake Villa, Illinois, has been showing and breeding mastiffs since 1998. Located in the northern suburbs of Chicago, near Waukegan and the Wisconsin border, the program draws on more than two decades of hands-on experience with the breed.

Karen holds AKC registration for her dogs and has championed several mastiffs through the show ring over the years. Her approach spans both the show world and family pet placements, reflecting a dual focus on breed standard and temperament. Breeding dogs are health tested prior to pairing, and the mastiffs are kept as part of household life rather than in a separate kennel setting.

For anyone searching for mastiff puppies in Illinois, Kharisma Mastiffs represents one of the longer-standing programs in the region, backed by a consistent record in the conformation ring.
