Guest Anonymous Posted September 7, 2002 Share Posted September 7, 2002 Welcome granites! :D They haven't ganged up on me yet, :wink: but I'm the odd one out with the Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy (10 months, 50 lbs). She is ridgeless, which is probably why she was found at the pound. :( Ruby is a real joy & we treat her as our daughter. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted October 27, 2002 Share Posted October 27, 2002 Thank you Shannon for your nice comments!! Yes, the Bullmastiff is the most wonderful breed and all of mine are cherished members of our family!!! Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon_C Posted October 27, 2002 Share Posted October 27, 2002 [b]Your Welcome Lisa :) I have been here a while now, but the last few months i have ben without a computer due to a virus, but its all back to normal again now. Please tell me who the adorable little pup is in the picture to your left ? I have been in the breed four years, Charlie is my first Bullmastiff who i adore so much as well has the breed itself! I got him from a well known breeder back here in England, 'who is sadly not with us now' (Tartuffe Kennel), it took a year before he came into my life as i wanted a good quality specimen and he does have that.....doing all the research from talking to as many breeders as i could, going to lots of shows, reading books about there care health etc in which i have quite a large collection, and visiting kennels to find the right type was all worth it in the end. Just wished many others would take the time to research the breed first, as you know they do attract a lot of attention especially when pups, with there sweet little black masked faces and it does encourage many people to choose them as there first choice without knowing about the Bullmastiff needs first!

Guest Anonymous Posted October 27, 2002 Share Posted October 27, 2002 Shannon, You are so right.....I cannot stress education enough, before you bring any breed home, you should be sure that is the right breed for you...Though I adore my Bullmastiffs - They are not THE breed for everyone. The little boy in the picture is Mill Creeks Revival O'Camelot - Buster. He is 4 months old and from a litter of two out of my Barb'Eric girl (Barb'Eric's Hey Jude) and Simon (CH Hanover's Simon of Mill Creek). I am very proud of him. I DO NOT breed often, but when I do I do a lot of prior research and Health and Temperament are always something I WILL NOT sacrifice!!

Shannon_C Posted October 27, 2002 Share Posted October 27, 2002 In my eyes the good breeders are the ones who dont breed often, only when they want a pup themselves. You should be proud of your boy hes absolutely gorgeous! Wish i could reach out and give him a great big hug! Your Bullmastiffs look really healthy and i can see the quality there in type etc....i think brindles are very striking to look at and i would like one someday. I dont think its fair that brindles dont do well in showing, well not in this country, its true in saying that it is the colour that brings out the red and fawns which are also attractive, what are these judges thinking!

Guest Anonymous Posted October 27, 2002 Share Posted October 27, 2002 Thank you Shannon!! I am glad that their health shows in pictures. That is always my number one......Health & Temperament and then conformation! We either OFA or PENNHIP all of our dogs hips as that has been a big problem in this breed as well as many others!! So far, so good!!! We have been lucky with 6 healthy, happy bullies....Our lives are very full! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 Thank you Lynn! Glad to be hear and what beautiful Boxers you have!! Lisa :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon_C Posted October 29, 2002 Share Posted October 29, 2002 Lisa. As you mention PENNHIP scores, speaking to a few breeders recently.... they have said that the breed doesn't get HIP scored like they used to it as its now been bred out of them, i thought surely that cant be true...but not being a breeder myself i wouldnt know....only that if the Bullmastiff isnt bought up carefully from a youngster then they do have problems with there hips, same goes if they get obese. It puzzles me! Thankyou Lynn, glad to be back :) ...missed this place! Your Boxers are beautiful, my neighbour as a brindle male, William....he comes and greets me by the fence every morning. Charlie my Bullmastiff saw him for the first time when i took him out, he got very excited and wanted to play with him but i didnt allow it as i didnt know how there Boxer would react to a 9 stone Bullmastiff jumping all over him....so it was sniffs only!

Guest Anonymous Posted October 29, 2002 Share Posted October 29, 2002 It would be wonderful if Hip Dysplasia had been bred out....Unfortuneately, I won't see that in my lifetime....There are still big problems with hips and not only in Bullmastiffs.... :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
