See pictures soon at "Girls".
Ch. Audley Farms Family Jules is "Top Mastiff Stud Dog 2008 in USA"
Am./ Int. Ch. Audley Farms Family Jules, bred and owned by Nancy Spiller (Pensylvania, USA) became TOP MASTIFF STUD DOG 2008 IN USA!! Jules is sire of 9 American Champions in 2008 (AKC)!!
Jules also sired a litter at the Villa-Graf in 2007, which brought us 6 male and 2 bitches of extraordinary quality, for which we are still very happy! Just to name Duke, Don Theo, Denis and Don Pedro, whch are very successful at shows all over Europe. Furthermore, Daydream-Diva, Diva, Don Camillo and Dalai Lama.
Being so pleased with Jules offspring, we imported a further Jules daughter, also bred by Nancy Spiller: Audley Farms Sissi von der Villa Graf.
Sissi also matured to a lovely quality bitch, which is a further evidence that Jules is able to forward his own quality to his offspring.
We send our congratulations to Nancy, who has all reasons to be so proud for "big boy". Thank you Nancy for your trust!
Also thank you to Bernard Le Courtois (Brullemail Mastiff kennel), who made the suggestion to take Jules for stud and who arranged the import of "frozen Jules".
New Mastiff-sticker:
Our Mastiff-bitch TINKABELL BRULLEMAIL is now available as a sticker!
The picture of TINKABELL was transformed into a realy nice and also very special art design, which you can now purchase at the online-shop "Molosser Design".
Maybe there will follow other products in the range of TINKABELL soon.
