I do realise that this post is very very late but I thought I had better post my pics of Crufts this year. It was nice to see Katriina attend even though its a three day journey. There was a few good foreign representatives and hopefully this will grow as the breed becomes more credible and better represented in the UK. A fantastic day was had by all and whilst I havent put any descriptions next to the pics I am sure you will recognise most of the faces. The light in the hall was terrible and when you put that with my hideous photography it doesnt do the dogs justice.

Thanks Julie for posting the pics!!! I do recognize many people and dogs!! Some very nice Mastini there.......my congrats to all!!!!!!!! Lori DeSimon - Olsen Muscle Beach Mastini
Thanks Lori. it was a really fantastic day. It just gets better every year for the neapolitan bunch and Im sure next year will be really closely fought.
Hey kate you really should think about showing. The last picture on there is of a dog called Dalnarck Drago. His pet name is Fred. His owner Pauline came to the Uk club show last year and when people saw how awesome he is Pauline decided to start showing him . . . .and so he qualified for Crufts!!!! He got a playful streak on him in the ring and wanted to fool round with Mommy so he didnt place but if he had been at his best he would have done really well. So there you . .give it a try!!! julie

Freddy THE U.K happiest mastino ever was our neighbour and he was an adorable english gentleman
In U.K are mastinos in excellent hand's and people are makeing together work for brighter future for mastino. Steve need a special thank's of his help to us, our car broke in Calais, my bad luck place also from last year, but Steve helped us to Birgminghamn and WE made us to Cruft's.
Get some more gray hair of all trouble with car, but all ended fine and we arrived to Finland on sunday, one week after show. Home sweet home, now is time for real holiday, without any troubles
The tawny is of Steve Cox's breeding some years ago now. She is called Kelsey and believe me she had the lovliest temprement. She lives with two young and very well behaved children who were with her at the show and they were lovely together all day. Lots and Lots of people took pictures of her.
There is a good reason why some of them look like twins. There was Dalnarck Brina, Beau and Belle who won BOB who are all the same litter. Also Ercole and Kims Sancho have a look of each other. julie

For anyone interested...When I was poking around on You Tube there are a ton of short clips from Crufts...Just look under Neapolitan Mastiff Kate and the zoo

Sounds like some great breeding going on over there. a little off topic but, Have you guys watched Animal Planets "Its me or the dog" w/ Victoria Stilwell? It was on this a.m. and cracked me up! She had to help get a standard Schnauzer ready for Crufts....The dog was so much like my girl, OBNOXIOUS! hahaha.
