Nearly Four Years of Age

* click here for Patience's testing* * click here to see Patience's pedigree * * click here to see videos of Patience in action!* Introducing our little girl, Patience ( aka CH. Sherwood's Anticipatience RN CGC TDI). Patience comes to us from Sherry Colby , RVT of Sherwood Mastiffs in Ohio. Patience is an absolute sweetheart! She has a certain joie de vivre that many of us would benefit from embracing! The world is her oyster, and she isn't shy about going back for seconds. Aside from her lovely personality and solid gold temperament, Patience is a very pretty bitch without being overly feminine. some of the things we love about her include her substance, her width and depth of body, her strong neck and beautiful wrinkle and expression, and her wide and strong rear. To pick nits, things we'd change about her if we could would be her soft topline ,and a muzzle that is a bit longer than we'd like it to be. We are absolutely thrilled with Patience; first and foremost as a cherished and adored family member; but also as a show dog and as a fine example of the breed. Thank you, Sherry, for letting her come into our lives and grace us with her princessness!

New TITLE: Patience earns her RA! Nov. 1, 2009. Patience is now no longer and RN! She is now an RA! :) CH. Sherwood's Anticipatience RA CGC TDI Next I am working with her, to hopefully go into the ring for her CD! NEW TITLE- Patience earns Rally Novice title! OCTOBER, 2008: Our latest achievement here at Owenspride has been courtesy of our two elder girls; Pikachu and Patience. The girls recieved their Rally Novice titles on the same weekend, both with high scores and great work. Patience works very quickly for a mastiff and really impresses everyone who is lucky enough to see her doing her thing. She just enjoys it so much, the pleasure just radiates through her; and lights her up like a little , round butted firefly! She is so darn CUTE. WB/BOW/BOS and NEW CHAMPION Patience!!! Congratulations Patience and M.C. on finishing in Fitchburg under Judge Robert Vandiver!! Patience is now a Champion of Record and can spend the summer resting on her laurels! Which she would have been doing anyway, of course. This caps off a tremendous summer here at Owenspride; with her huge win at Bucks earlier, her second major fast on it's heels and now the completion of her title as summer comes to a close. Thank you SHERRY; you know how much we love this girl and are so blown away by her daily...her beauty, her sweet nature, her silly things, she is the COMPLETE PACKAGE. "Way to Go, Patience !! Girls RULE!" Patience Makes Breed History! On May 5 , 2007 at the prestigious BUCKS COUNTY KENNEL CLUB Supported Entry show in Erwinna, Pa.; ( entry of 130 mastiffs) Patience surprised and delighted all of her supporters by being chosen not only as Winners Bitch out of an entry of 45 bitches for her first major win; but also by carrying her winning ways all the way into the Breed Ring and going Best of Winners and finally BEST OF BREED!! Patience has broken new ground in the breed with this win; becoming the first ever female B.O.B.winner to emerge from the classes ( not already a Champion ); only the second ever BITCH to go B.O.B.; and the youngest mastiff of either sex to ever be selected as B.O.B. at this incredibly highly regarded show . Ron and I were thrilled with this spectacular win and we extend our sincerest gratitude towards the esteemed Judge who bestowed this HONOUR upon us; Mrs. Sarah Windham. The recognition was so appreciated, as were your complimentary comments in the days following the show.
