OUR WORKING DOGS

Am/Can/ Int'l Champion Bastion's Louisville Slugger, Multi-BIS, Multi-BISS, CGC, ROM
LOUIE & THE TRIATHALON Although a top conformation competitor, Louie has shown he exhibits the working ability of a bullmastiff by winning the 2003 American Bullmastiff Association National Triathalon, with the Gold Medal. This competition is scored on conformation, obedience and agility. Louie currently has one leg towards his CD title and when he has retired from the conformation ring, we hope to achieve his obedience CD title, along with an agility title or two, qualifying him for the ABA Working Dog Title. He is shown with his trainer and co-owner Dawn McCandless.

OFA Excellent; Elbows Clear; Cardiologist Certified; Thyroid and Kidney Tested.... Bred By Cindie and Lee Waters Co-Owned by Andrea Kelly, Lynn Spohr, and Cindie Waters ......................... Ted�s �career� really took off in 2000. He finished his US championship in just 3 weekends of showing, then went up to Canada where he finished in a mere 2 days. Through it all, he kept up his work in the performance rings, making breed history by becoming the first male Bullmastiff to earn an AKC Open Agility title. He achieved his NADAC Novice Agility title in a single weekend, and was the High Scoring CH at our National Specialty, his first time in an obedience ring. He also kept up his duties as a working therapy dog, and earned his ABA Working Dog Certificate for excellence in a number of venues. The following year, it took Ted just 7 trials to earn him 4 more agility titles and a slot at the NADAC Agility Nationals, another milestone for the breed, as no Bullmastiff had ever competed in a national agility competition before. Finally, in 2002, he received his CD at Nationals, making him one of the very few Triple Titleists in the breed. While he still enjoys training, he has retired from competition, and currently devotes his time to raising some of his kids, and helping out less fortunate Bullmastiffs that share his home as foster dogs. He�s also learning to ride a skateboard and honing his sheep herding skills while he considers branching out into another area of performance � carting! Ted is one of our most important sires, even at 8 years of age. This boy has sired many wonderful champions, including the 2004 AKC All-Breed BIS, the #1 Bullmastiff (all systems) � Liam.
