Marlie came from Bev Molloy of Banda Mastiffs Perm Reg'd and is our sweetheart. She was a bit of a surprise to my son, who thought I was at work that weekend, not 3600kms away picking up our puppy! Marlie fit right into our lives, fell in love with our rescue boy Boomer & continues to charm the pants off everyone who meets her.

She absolutely adores children and will go out of her way to try & say hello (which usually includes the 'Tongue of Love' - a big wet lick starting at the chin, continuing straight up the middle of the face & generally getting anything good that might be left over from lunch!). Her favourite pastime is rolling anthing remotely orb-like around - in winter she rolls the woodpile logs and in summer it's the large submerged rocks at the lake/river.

Marlie's favourite place to curl up is right on top of, or underneath your feet and she's happiest tucked in the middle of the family on the softest spot possible! If dogs could ever be accused of having a sense of humour and a real joie de vivre, Marlie would be found guilty!

Marlie's Accomplishments to date:
Can CH at 2 years old with 4 BOB & 6 BOS/BOW;
RN (Rally Novice) Obedience Title with scores of 89, 92 & 95 (out of 100);
CD (Companion Dog) Obedience Title with scores of 171, 182.5 & 189.5 (out of 200);
CGN (Canine Good Neighbour) Award the first try!!

Marlie's CD title was a great accomplishment, not only because Mastiffs aren't known for their prowess in the obedience ring, but because she completed it at the Canadian Mastiff Club Specialty Show on July 18th, 2010 - and is only the second Mastiff in the history of the Club to have done it at a National Specialty!
