UPDATE 1/26/12:
******UPCOMING LITTER : DUE 2/15/12*****
Lu Lu, our brindle girl, is now 4 years old, and expecting her first litter @ my birthday on 2-10-12. She is not hiding her babies, and is obviously pregnant
with a much awaited litter.
This is our first litter since April, 2007, so you can imagine how excited we are!
Lu Lu has several conformation points in limited showing, including several nice Specailty awards, including Best Brindle and Best Puppy at the CNBC 2008 July Bullmastiff Specialty, and Reserve Winners Bitch, from a large field, at just 8 months of age.
Her breeder Kay Pedisich, honored us by using our red male, "Slash" with her lovely brindle girl "Fiona", and allowing us to bring Lu Lu home from a lovely litter of 7.
Lu Lu's sweet and handsome red litter brother went on to become Ch Twyceluvd Illyrian Bay Gryffin, OFA, who is now being occasionally specialed.

She has tremendous bone to go along with this bite.
The sire of our upcoming Feb 2012 litter is our young red boy,"Lucas", DOX The Rifleman at Guardman's.
Lucas is 14 months old, deep red,very handsome, and the class clown!
His preliminary hip and elbow radiographs are fantastic, and he
compliments Lu Lu nicely.

another 20 pounds this year as he matures.
He is son of Multi BISS CA INT AM GCh Peerless I Am The Love Bug, and his mom

*Slash & Gale...Litter of 11...Free Whelped April 9th, 2007*
This was a pretty amazing whelping and litter, as Gale free whelped all 11 and took excellent care of her kids.
Our good friends Barb & Eric Long of Barb'Eric Bullmastiffs brought home "Mr T" from this 2007 Slash X Gale litter, and he is now GCH Guardman's Barb'Eric Mr T, RN,BN, CGC....OFA hips Good and elbows clear.
His junior handler Alex Todd and T have worked their magic to guiding Mr T to a Top 10 rank in conformation
in the United States for 2011, and have been a joy for us to watch in the ring. Thank you Barb & Eric
for campaigning T, and to Alex for superbly presenting him in the ring, and also to Barb & Eric for entrusting us
with a beautiful fawn daughter from their Sept 2010 litter with T and their red girl "Brick",
Ch Barb'Eric A Taste Of Honey. Madison is turning out so nice!
We also thank Jamie & Nate Gushwa for bringing home T's litter brother, "Cooter", another beautiful fawn puppy boy who is now pointed, and looking for his majors to finish in limited showing. Cooter pleased us all by being OFA Hips Excellent and Elbows normal, and he is a real sweetie.
