For as long as Michael and I have been married (32 yrs),
we have owned and loved dogs. Along with our two sons
Michael and Jason, our dogs were also our babies. My
husband saysthat my family priorities are, "Boys, Dogs,
Husband". Each of our pets will always have a special place
in our hearts that they filled through companionship,
loyalty, and love.
The first Bullmastiff we had the luxury and honor of being a
part of our family was a spectacular male Bullmastiff named
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Jasinski of the NorthEast. From
our experiences with Wolfgang, my husband and I fell in
love with the breed. So when Wolfgang sadly passed, we
knew we had to get another bullie. I contacted Helene
Nietsch of Banstock Bullmastiffs and she sold us our Bruno
as a pet puppy.
My husband has a good eye for dogs and Bruno was his pick
of the litter. Nobody knew he was going to become one of
the top ten Bullmastiffs in the country. Helene asked us if
he did turn out to be a show quality dog, if we would be
interested in showing him. You can guess our answer to
that.
We started taking Bruno to obedience class. Helene was at
the show class and Bruno caught her attention. We started
showing him at 9 months and immediately he was winning.
Since then he has accomplished so much. He never really
was shown as much as some of the other famous dogs and
now we are more selective than ever about when and
where he is shown. He has proven himself time and time
again and now just participates for the pleasure of it. He
really does love to be in the ring. We can not deny that.
Like most stories that are worth telling, we have had a lot
of help from some great people. A few that should be
mentioned are Bruno's handlers. Linda Barberich, who
showed him to his championship and Kent McFarland, who
showed him as a special entry. Also, thanks to the
McGoverns for support they gave Bruno during the two
years they co-owned him with us. There are others and you
know who you are.
Thanks to all.
