How do I start?

Digby met with an untimely death just short of seven years old. This tragedy devastated us as a family and took a great deal of time to get over.

He was our first home bred dog, our first home bred Champion, our protector, our friend, and our everything. He was very loyal and very clever. He is missed everyday of our lives.

He loved the show ring and possessed such effortless movement he was a joy to watch. He made my show ring hobby a dream come true with countless awards.

He sired 3 litters of puppies and from this two from the 'Bullspirit' prefix went on to become Australian Champions. We luckily retained a pup from his last litter - 'Pedro' - and he reminds us of his Dad everyday. They have an uncanny likeness.

We were very fortunate to have been owned by such a unique dog.

Amy was our first Bullmastiff.

We had thoroughly researched all dog breeds and had decided to go down to the local dog show and see our two finalists in the flesh. One being the Bullmastiff and the other the Rottwieler. We were pointed in the direction of the Bullmastiffs and there was no need to continue our search. There we saw this little pudgy four month old puppy sitting upright, ears flying, greeting everyone that passed. 'Love at first sight!'.

Unbelievably this puppy was for sale and we quickly organized payment. We couldn't believe our luck. What a perfect day!

We had no intention of showing 'Amy' at that stage, but after meeting and talking to some exhibitors we thought it sounded like a bit of fun. And there is what started my show career and obsession to compete in the conformation ring with Bullmastiffs.

To our surprise 'Amy' gained her Australian Champion Title and I gained a hobby I love.

Further down the track we decide upon a mate for 'Amy' and we bred our first litter. What an experience!

We kept a male from this litter 'Digby', who in turn gained his Australian Championship title and ended up being our most successful show dog to date.

Despite all this 'Amy' was always at her most comfortable when curled up on the front seat of my husbands van ready for their day work.

She was a beautiful girl and we treasured every memory we had with her. She is the one to credit for our continued support in this Majestic breed.

Thank you Amy.
