Once in a blue moon a special individual comes into the world destined to leave their mark on the hearts of many.... and without a doubt our Major was one of those. When Major was born in August of 2002 he won our hearts immediately with his charming ways and beautiful conformation. I felt he was a major breakthrough in my breeding program- and so our Major was named....
Major's high spirits and joy in life were apparent in every 'bounce step' he took up until his very last days when he crossed the rainbow bridge. He was a true ambassador for our breed, and always breeder/owner handled.  With limited showing, Major became the #1 breeder/owner handled Mastiff in the US in 2005, won BBE at Eukanuba (also owner handled!) in 2007 as well as several MCOA specialty wins and awards in 2006 and 2007. His kids have also done well both in conformation and performance events.  But our beloved Major was never a 'commodity' to us.
 Though Major did love going to dog shows with his mom, our goals were never to campaign a dog with all that entails. Major taught me so much and I will always be grateful for the blessing that he was to our family. His loss represents the end of an era in our lives and he can never be replaced. Though Major can never be replaced, we are blessed to have special Major kids and grandkids to cheer us up and remind us of him in various ways.
His beautiful spirit does live on in many of his offspring and this is a comfort. Major is sorely missed by his best friend 'Ori' and his littermate sister Lily. His loss has left our entire family broken hearted.
Major we will always love you and will never forget you. I look forward to being together again someday!
