Welcome to our Mastiff National Specialty Awards page! I have been so privileged to handle these wonderful animals in one of the most important shows all year!

Ch. Master's Lard-O (Lordy) |

Lordy started his Specials career by going back-to-back Best of Breed from the classes at 11 months owner-handled by Pam Dillon.
Lordy and Linda became a team in January 2005 where Lordy went back-to-back Best of Breeds in Wentzville at 15 months and has continued his winning ways by going Back-to-Back GROUP 3s at the Columbia Kennel Club at 17months under respected judges, Mrs. Paula Nykiel and Mrs. Patricia Neale.
|
Lordy is bred by Shirley Carpenter, Master's Mastiffs, out of the gorgeous Ch. Master's Miss Hap (AOM) and sired by the handsome Ch. Impressive Heritage (Harley) owned and bred by Maggi Ahrens, Impressive Mastiffs.
It is my pleasure and honor to handle such a beautifully-built and bred dog such as Lordy. I had the distinct honor of finishing his parents and grandparents. This young dog is a TREASURE. Thank you Pam and Butch for allowing me the opportunity to handle Lordy. |

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. For more information on Harley, please contact Maggi Ahrens at rivview@fidnet.com. |
