Mtn. Pride Mastiffs started showing at our very first AKC show in Columbus spring 2011. We did an AKC Puppy Show as well as an AKC Show with our retired girl Sierra just to get accustomed to showing in general. We then Started getting more into showing with our boy Titan in 2012 starting at his first show at OSU Fairgrounds April 2012. His first show ever no training involved he placed 3rd at a major show. He did a couple small shows after for practice and did great as well. He earned his first AKC Champion points in Aug 2012. Titan earned his International Champion title in January 2013, Sarge & Boss earned their International Champion title in January 2014. We will slowly be getting more involved with showing as time goes by, but we only travel locally with our dogs as its more for fun then a job/sport. Some photos of the shows we have done are below & will add more as time goes by. Our dogs are our spoiled house pets, so we don't feel life out on the road sent out with a handler is our thing. I'd prefer my dogs home with me, showing when I can be there for them cheering them on like any parent would their own child than to travel around away from me so long crated as once we house break we do not crate our dogs.
Tons more show photos on our facebook!
