NEWS LETTER APRIL 2018 from the Chair: the Amount of Bullmastiff Fanciers / Owners That Also Have Other Breeds Living in Their Home Is Quite Amazing NEWS LETTER APRIL 2018 From the Chair: The amount of Bullmastiff fanciers / owners that also have other breeds living in their home is quite amazing. There are Boerboels, Jack Russell’s, Borzoi, German Shepherd Dogs, Spaniels and the all- time favourite – the ‘mixed - grill special’ to name a few. All are loved in equal quantities and provide the companionship and love us humans so desire from our dogs. Featured in this newsletter are just a few. What a treat Beverley Thole and her Boerboel Sunethe Potgieter & her Borzoi Helene Burger & her wire- haired fox terrier Master Kritzinger with Jack Russell Ina Jenkins with her Great Dane & her Scottie X Boerboel & Bullmastiff belonging to June Kelly Bullmastiff Harley and x- breed Rusty belonging to Robin Marks Lucia Schmutz with x-breed and GSD & her brother Samuel with his friend Rischbieter family dogs Nicky & her Jack Russell Hahnebeck menagerie And the CBC’s top Bullmastiff ‘Balto’ relaxes with his new buddy ‘Sureigny’. Both belong to Ria Steyn. ************************* SARGETHRUST BULLMASTIFFS JOHAN SMITH And a response from Johan Smith in respect of the February 2018 Newsletter – Contracts/ deposits; “We have been asking for deposits in principle for a few years since, as part of the booking and vetting process, it sifts out non -committed parties from serious buyers. We work on a committed waiting list which can be really challenging to maintain given the distance between our farm and most owners as well as the fact that I receive 5 to 10 enquiries per day. However, I’ve never asked for a deposit transfer before birth. In my opinion the ability to ask for a deposit is also about trust and reputation (which goes both ways) between breeder and buyer. A deposit should, in my opinion, always be refundable up until the point that the pup has been collected by the new owner. Regardless of deposits, as much as the full amount should be refundable if significant issues are reported shortly thereafter following a formal vet inspection and report”. Note: this correspondence is now closed. ******************** Next month, May, is APT and DMA month – any fanciers who want to proceed with this test may apply through the Club or directly to the Doberman Club of the Cape. 12th & 13th May 2018 DID YOU KNOW: Ch. Montsalvage Tristan bred and owned by the late Rosie Lewis was the first Southern African Bullmastiff to obtain an APT pass. He was followed by Ch. Van Lelloi Juke of Scotsworld owned by Cynthia Scott and thirdly by BISS Ch.

And then he goes on to a ‘double whammy’ at KZN Junior KC & Zululand KC where he is placed 2nd in the Working Group by both Judges – Carine Buitendach & Rod Jarman. **************** DATES TO REMEMBER CHARACTER & BREED ASSESSMENT 29/30TH SEPTEMBER 2018 Please inform the Secretary should you wish to participate in this activity – all dogs must be over 18 months of age, be in good health, have a valid HD & ED certification and be KUSA registered with a microchip or tattoo [email protected].

  • Extended Breed Standard of the BULLMASTIFF
    AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL KENNEL COUNCIL LTD ® Extended Breed Standard of THE BULLMASTIFF Compiled by Patricia Quinn on behalf of the National Bullmastiff Breed Council (Australia) in collaboration with the members of The Bullmastiff Club of New South Wales Inc. The Bullmastiff Club of South Australia Inc. The Bullmastiff Club of Victoria Inc. The Bullmastiff Club of Western Australia Inc. and interested parties whose input was directed through these Affiliated Clubs FCI Standard No: 157 Standard and Extensions May 2000 Copyright Australian National Kennel Council Ltd 2000 Country of origin ~ United Kingdom A SHORT HISTORY OF THE BREED The Bullmastiff was intentionally and specifically bred for a purpose. He fulfilled a need of the times — as a guard-dog for the Gamekeeper on the Estates in the English countryside in the 19th century. During the early 19th century the common man in England, mostly poverty stricken and desperate to survive, often turned to poaching on the Estates of the wealthy landed gentry in order to feed a hungry family. For the Gamekeeper in the employ of the gentry, life was difficult and dangerous. Desperate men used desperate means to achieve their aims, and if the night-time murder of a Gamekeeper in the forest insured against arrest (with the possibility of a death sentence or deportation), then so be it. The Gamekeeper needed, as his companion and protector, a large, powerful, brave, loyal and obedient dog to locate, seize and detain the poacher. To this end, various and strange combinations of breeds of dogs were tried, but none proved as effective for the task as the Mastiff and Bulldog cross, later to be known as the Bullmastiff.

  • The Bullmastiff
    THE BULLMASTIFF BREED INFORMATION BOOKLET MARCH 2008 Why buy a pedigree purebred dog? A Pedigree Pure Bred Dog has parentage that is known AND: ▪ Both parents are of the same breed. ▪ The breed is recognised by the Australian National Kennel Council (ANKC) or one of its Affiliates. ▪ The dog's breeders are registered to breed puppies. ▪ The parents of any puppies are registered with the ANKC or one of its affiliates to be bred from and it has a pedigree showing at least 3 generations of parentage. A Designer Dog is many things including: ▪ A puppy resulting from the deliberate mating of two unrelated breed types. ▪ A puppy resulting from an accidental mating of two different breed types (note these dogs used to be called mongrels or cross breeds). ▪ A puppy resulting from the mating of two cross bred (or designer bred) dogs. ▪ A puppy resulting from the mating of one pedigree or pure bred parent and one cross bred or designer bred dog. ▪ A designer dog has not been bred by a registered breeder. ▪ A designer dog is not pure bred or pedigree. Pedigree Pure Bred VS Designer Dog The Cost Factor Many people believe that pedigree dogs will be out of their price range. You may be pleasantly surprised. Some pedigree breeds cost more than designer or cross bred dogs, some cost considerably less. The amount of money and work that goes into properly raising a litter of puppies does not vary. Most of the expenses that pedigree owners face, breeders of designer breeds don't. These include: ▪ Stud Fees ▪ Importing new blood lines (spending $8,000 - $10,000 to import a dog from the UK would be an average, some dogs cost a lot more).
