Story
Snobben came to us in July 2004, after persevering importunity from our children to buy a new dog. And it could not be any
kind of dog; it had to be a Mastiff and nothing else. And it have turned out to be the best we ever have done. Snobben
proved to be a very social, cuddly family-dog.
Snobben have completed some classes in elementary obedience, which he enjoyed very much. He is quite willing to learn, but
he does it in slow-motion. To play with other dogs goes very well, despite of his size.
After a while Snobben became more than a family-dog; he became a phenomenal show-dog as well. We entered him at his first
dog-show just by chance. His breeder tricked us to participate at a Mastiff Club Show, and we all enjoyed it very much.
We started with local dog-shows, so he could get used to a stranger checking his teeth and body.
When snobben was 16 months of age he recieved his first CAC and CACIB. Afther that he now has 8 CACIB and 1 Recerve-CACIB.
He have recieved CACIB at every International dog-show he have entered. As long as Snobben enjoys the show we will continue
to enter him.
Snobben is now two and a half year of age, 78 cm. at the withers, and he weights 98 kg.
He is a large and wonderful cool polar bear!
