Have you been looking for a truly exceptional mastiff puppy to raise
and love and train and show?  That's what I have been trying to 
produce, using the latest medical tests, research, and determination
to produce the best.

Sixteen years of breeding mastiffs and I have finally produced a puppy
even BETTER than I dared to hope for!  I was trying to achieve it ALL,

SHOW potential, OBEDIENCE potential, capability for other TRAINING,
fabulous PEDIGREE, ENGLISH lines, and more TESTED RELATIVES 
than just about any mastiff pup available in the world. Most breeders,
even the bigtime ones, only go for about two or three of the above,
not ALL of them!

The one thing I wasn't trying for was a dog BIGGER than normal!  But I
got it all INCLUDING the super size.  (The size came from the famous 
Eng. CH Parcwood W. Bear, Esq., who is tripled up in the pedigree....)

This puppy is a HUGE brindle boy, bright and playful, with a super-
sweet, gentle temperament and great structure.  Since he was
born, he's been consistently 20-25% larger than his normal-sized
brother and sister, who stay pretty consistent with each other. His
size isn't based on a big belly either, he is LEAN, and all his weight
is in his tall, long frame and head.  He will simply be a much larger
than average Gentle Giant.

He did very well on the Volhard Puppy Aptitude Test and was CERF
perfect at 7 weeks (therefore has no hidden PPM to pass on).  

So far as I can determine, this is the FIRST pup that is not only
HUGE, but has an exceptional number of fully HEALTH TESTED 
relatives, AND is 3/4 ENGLISH, linebred on Farnaby, the oldest
continuous mastiff kennel in the world today, and top winners for
many decades in England.  Farnaby dogs are behind the best-
known mastiff kennels in England, Australia, and other parts of
the world.  There is NO line that has won more, is older, or is
better respected in the breed, anywhere in the world.

Mom, grandpa, and auntie were imported from Mrs. Baxter in England,
most senior breeder-judge of mastiffs in the world, and author of two
definitive books on the breed.  Dad is an apricot CH in Florida, mom
isn't shown (I am unable to show, and can't bear to let her go long
enough for a circuit.  Nor will I spend money on a handler when the
money could go instead to medical tests and better food).  Both
parents are great movers.  Dad finished easily when young: the half-
Farnaby dogs who are his littermates and half siblings have done very
well in conformation and obedience, and a number are CGC, TDI and 
even work as therapy dogs.

Grandpa, who is also this boy's uncle, was one of the first 5-STAR
mastiffs in the world (proof of passing all then-available health
tests were provided to an independent organization for verification)
and the FIRST English import in the USA to not only be fully tested
but to pass ALL tests put to him.  (This pup's mom was the second.)

Grandpa worked as a therapy dog in a practice for very young disturbed
and autistic kids, for several years.  Mom's mother won Veteran Bitch
at Cruft's this year (England's or perhaps the world's biggest and 
oldest dog show).  There are too many other big winners in the family
to list them all.

Grandpa's litter brother and sister have between them been Mastiff of
the Year in England the last 3 years.  Many of the relatives close in
on the pedigree are shown in "The Complete Mastiff" and "The History
and Management of the Mastiff".  Their close ancestors' outstanding
hip scores are published in "Grandeur and Good Nature."  Very few
mastiffs have this much information available in terms of health and
show careers, or what the relatives look like, not even the purely
American lines that would be much easier to document!   

BOTH parents OFA Good, OFA Elbows Clear, OFA Patellas Clear, vWD 
and Thyroid Normal, CERF Clear, and mom and grandpa are also OFA
Heart Certified Clear, dad's heart test is pending.  Many Therapy Dogs
in the family, it's a tradition in the making!

To a carefully selected home where this giant softie will be the heart
of the home, living indoors, having a nice fenced yard, guaranteed to
go to classes and be shown as much as appropriate (it's HIS life, he's
gotta enjoy it....) and where he will be fully tested.

Check out my home page for puppy pictures, and pictures of the family,
as well as more information about the line.  I am a longtime serious
breeder, health/genetics researcher and artist, who has been OFA'ing
for over 14 years, and has been one of the first and foremost to test
my mastiffs for each new test that eventually gets accepted.  Very few
breeders try even HALF this hard, but I don't want to breed except to
improve.

Serious inquiries only.
