Brittany and Patrick share daughter Sterling and son Patrick.
Before they became real parents, they were dog parents in college when Patrick bought Brittany the dog.

“I actually got Steel when I was in college. Patrick bought it for me as a Valentine’s Day gift when I was a junior,” Brittany said.
Brittany revealed that she was a fan of a different NFL team before Patrick was drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs, which is how she got her dog’s name.
“So I was actually a Steelers fan and that’s how I got the name Steel, so it’s a great story,” Brittany said.
The Mahomes family added their second dog, Silver, a few years after acquiring Steel.

“I think it was 2018, after Patrick’s first year in the league. We decided we wanted another addition,” Brittany said.
She describes the puppies as “wild and full of energy” and says she always had a dog around.
“I’ve always had a dog in the house for as long as I can remember,” Brittany said.
“Even my parents separated and they both ended up having dogs, so I grew up with dogs. I’ve never lived in a house without a dog.”
Although Brittany is a pro with dogs, she and Patrick work with famous dog trainer Tom Davis to keep their companions under control.
“We have worked with Tom for several years and he is the best person for our family and our dogs,” Brittany said.
“I would say it was around 2019 or 2020, about a year after we had Silver, because she was difficult, and then we were introduced to Tom through a friend of ours who also had him.
“And we’ve been using it ever since.”
The Mahomes family takes Davis to Kansas City to work with the Steel and Silver from time to time. The gesture “just shows how much they love and care about the dogs,” Davis said.
“What I find endearing about both of them is that it would be very easy for them to rule out different things if they wanted to, but they don’t.”
Brittany has an Instagram page dedicated to her dogs where she posts updates and cute photos of them.
Steel and Silver have over 200,000 Instagram followers.
