Baca's Artemis Kennelwood was our first bullmastiff. What a treasure she was. "The Moose" was a heavy duty female that weighed about 135 pounds and stood at 25 inches in height. She had tremendous width that could have made many a male jealous. Her disposition was wonderful, but she was a real couch potato. She didn't believe in moving fast unless she was chasing something interesting like a chicken. Even when she barked she barked slow. It was like the bark was |
coming from her toes and you heard the rumble, but knew it would take
awahile for it to get out. Although Moosie hated to show--too much work, she did distinguish herself at two nationals. She won her class at 15 months and again won a fourth at two years. She had 10 puppies in one litter and then decided that was all there was going to be. Noone could have asked for a better first bullmastiff and she started our kennel off on the right paw so to speak. The following is a picture of her winning at the National in 1988. |
