Ch. Impressive Heritage (HARLEY) finished at an early age, as most Impressive Mastiffs do. He is bred by Maggi Ahrens of Impressive Mastiffs. An injury to the pad of his foot has kept the gorgeous boy from the Specials ring. He excels in body type, GORGEOUS crest and topline along with large bone, a beautiful head and strong reach and drive in movement.
Harley has a new litter that will soon be hitting the show ring. The puppies are out of the beautiful Ch. Master's Miss Hap owned by the Carpenters. The puppies have tremendous bone and beautiful heads with solid toplines. The babies are gorgeous and will be at the 2004 Nationals 6-9 classes. Watch for these winners.
