Special Brindle Bitch (1)
  1. Brewer's - Old Manila's Born To Run (IMP NOR)1st in Post Graduate Bitch

Bullmastiffs were my original breed, acquiring my first one from the famous Bunsoro kennel in the late 70’s. I bred several litters using the Oldwell and Todomas breed lines and had some limited success in the show ring. Work and other commitments in the mid 80’s precluded me from continuing to breed, as well as losing both my bitches to health problems. My other passion were the hound breeds and it was on these I concentrated and I am qualified for the Hound Group at Ch. Show level.
I still maintain an interest in the breed and can occasionally be found ringside if I am at a show on Working day. I have judged many breeds over all the groups throughout the years, doing BIS at Open Shows on a number of occasions. I have judged all over the UK and had overseas appointments in Australia and Latvia.
I am looking forward to renewing my acquaintance with the breed at this show.
