Proven Sire (frozen and fresh semen available) 

​

Sirius is the first brindle we have ever had in our kennel! We imported Sirius from Tatjana Shuvalova in Moscow, Russia.

 

Sirius's pigment is second to none with clearly defined rich mahogany markings and the blackest of masks, he is very powerfully built with lots of drive; I am very lucky indeed to have this boy. He has been very lightly shown and to date has won many best puppy, best of breeds and multi group placings, won several reserve best dogs at club speciality and all breed championship as well as a best in show.

 

Sirius has a rock solid temperament and can be turned to almost anything, he has worked his way through both the kennel club good citizen tests as well as the Pet and Gundog organisation tests; and to date has passed all with top marks.. a true fit for function Bullmastiff! We have recently decided to turn our hand to championship obedience and rally with Sirius consistently placing in huge classes, gaining a certificate of excellence with a title.  

​

His sire is the fantastic Finnish dog 'C.I.B, Fin, Rus, MVA, LTV-10 CH Bullgrins Hold the Tiger' (HD-A, ED-0, Heart- Clear) he is a dog whom I have admired for many years, he goes back to some of the best dogs out in America and Scandinavia.

 

His mother is the Russian bitch 'C.I.B. RUS, Balt, Pl, & SLO CH, ClubW'12, '13, '16, &  '19. UKR CH Multi CH Solar Sonik Zara Dancing in the Fire'. Like Sirius's father she has been extensively health tested with fantastic results (HD-B, ED-0, & Eye- Clear & Heart- Clear). ​

Critique (Neil Hood) -". WOW !!! Pick a cliché comment that judges make in a critique and it will certainly apply here. My notes didn’t say wow, mine said “muscle muscle muscle”. 2 year brindle and ill put money on this dog making up to a UK champion very quickly. He is stunning. Good strong solid head, correct bite and good strong fore face. Impressive skull, Ears set well muscular neck and not overdone. Good strong shoulder and well boned. Good set to rib. Lovely topline well angled at the rear. Tail set well. lovely on the move, would like to see him outside in a bigger ring really striding out. I was totally and utterly smitten with this boy and will definitely be watching him in the UK. G1 BIS."

​

Critique (Caroline Ashby)- This brindle boy certainly caught the eye as he stood proud in the ring. Well up to size with pleasing brindle markings that highlighted his shape and sharp outline. In muscular hard condition, square head of good proportions with good ear carriage and wide nostrils. Deep chest, lovely neck and laid back shoulder. Covered lots of ground and strode out well. RBD 

​

Critique (Tim Ball)- 2 year old brindle dog. Impressive boy carrying excellent bone and substance. Masculine all through, he presents a nicely balanced outline with muscular neck of good length, firm topline, good depth to brisket, muscular loin and good tail for set and carriage. Well made both ends and moving freely and with purpose. Good breadth to skull, well defined stop, good proportions, strong muzzle, nice dark eyes and good breadth to underjaw. Well arched feet. (Best of Breed)

Family

Sirius has also had a full panel colour test as requested by another breeder who was trying to improve pigment and it shows he carries a double masking gene, no dilutes and will produce red, fawn and brindle puppies. Individual test certificates can be provided upon request,

the results are as follows- 

​

E Locus- (Cream/ Red/ Yellow)                    EE- Dominant black does not carry yellow/ red/white

EM (EC1R) Locus- Melanistic Mask            Em/Em- Two mask alleles dependent on A and K series 

A Locus (Fawn/ Sable; Tri/ Tan Points          ay/ay- Pure fawn/ red offspring

K Locus (Dominant Black)                            One dominant black (KB) and one copy of none black (Ky) (brindled dog)

D (Dilute Locus)                                             DD- pigment is normal and does not carry dilute

Brown BBs, Bbd, or BBc                               Does not carry any brown or chocolate

Sirius's progeny

Sirius was a true testament to the bullmastiff breed, he passed on his amazing temperament and beautiful looks.

​

Many of his offspring are champions in various countries around the world, club winners, crufts class winners and multi champions but what we are more proud of is the gentle nature the dogs have.

 

2 of his daughters work as aggression therapy dogs at 'Impackt Behaviour'. This is a highly regarded training facility that Pamela Dempsey set up to specialise in rehabilitation of aggressive dogs. 

​

Another daughter is a therapy dog at Southhampton airport.
