Ch Nightquest Tobin Bronze
"Tobin"


Tobin possesses the most wonderful nature, being easy going with other dogs and every person he meets. He has grown up with our 2 children and is always so gentle and understanding of them no matter what the circumstance.

He has a lovely head with good pigment. He has great boning and a fantastic front. He has a wide, deep chest and good front angulation. He has superb cat like feet which are very straight. He has fantastic movement which show his great reach and drive. He just floats effortlessly around the show ring. He has a beautiful deep red coat with no white markings.

Tobin oozes type and soundness. He has done us proud in the show ring from his first show until now. He is consistently placed under breed specialists and is competitive at all breed level.

Critiques

Opposite Puppy In Show - B.C.V. Championship Show 2003. 
Judge: Brach cephalic specialist
Mrs. J. Brownlee - formerly from U.K.  
Promising 11 month red, very well handled. Broad skull with well - proportioned short, square muzzle. Pronounced stop. Small well set on ears. Pleasing expression although I would prefer a slightly darker eye. Good neck into well developed shoulder. I thought him a little long in body and his top line needs to strengthen. Good strong front. Moved with reach and drive.

Junior In Show - B.C.N.S.W Championship Show 2004
Judge: Breed Specialist Judge - Mr. D. Webster (Evenstar Kennels U.K)

Almond shaped hazel eyes, muzzle square, perhaps a little short. Good stop, nice expression. Ears set well and of correct size. Well- arched neck, back short strong and level, well filled rib correct depth of chest. Plenty of muscle on this dog. Tight feet, good bone with straight front legs. Although hind legs could possibly do with a little more bend of stifle they are well muscled. One to watch for.

3rd Australian Bred Dog - 3rd National Bullmastiff Specialty Show S.A 2005
Judge - Mr. Chris Quantrill (Licassa Bullmastiffs U.K)
“Nightquest Tobin Bronze” Litter brother to 2nd place, good head and depth of chest, good
spring of rib, fair top line, moved and handled well.

Best Australian Bred & Reserve Dog In Show - B.C.N.S.W. Championship Show Sept. 2005

3rd Australian Bred Dog - B.C.N.S.W. Championship Show Sept. 2006

3rd Australian Bred Dog  - B.C.V. Championship Show 30th Sept 2007
Judge - Breed Specialist Mrs. Anne Marie Class (France)
Lovely dog with good square head, lovely ears, and rear angulation could be better, excellent feet, good body, and very good movement.

2nd Open Dog - B.C.V. Championship Show 27th April 2008
Judge - Breed Specialist Bas Bosch (Netherlands)
Middle sized dog, a true athlete, extremely nicely balanced. Impressive head with lovely expression of wrinkles and eyes, blunt muzzle, excellent stop and ear set. Nice bone in front legs, could perhaps do with a bit more bone in the hindquarters, nice neck, top and underline, angulation front/behind balanced, clean cut throughout, excellent condition. Balanced mover.
