Introducing our little girl, Patience ( aka CH. Sherwood's Anticipatience RE 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!

This is "Relaxed P." or "sweet Pea"..... I just want to lay down next to her and kiss her soft squishy muzzle..this is the P. we know and love, when she is drowsy and cute..
Running around the yard with her Truck.......she loves it!! Batten down the hatches when she starts running around with that thing. The puppies all flatten themselves to the ground and hope to escape with their lives!
Patience , a few months after the puppies. Back to her park romps, FINALLY!!! Life as she knows it has returned.
She is a water dog. Just don't throw the ball more than two feet away from her.
"Still Life With Truck"
Family Sit Stay lessons.

The puppies are almost here!!!!
One week til Patience has her puppies!!
Being pregnant is hard work.
Just because I'm pregnant doesn't mean I can't still be poised and lovely.
The only bad thing about getting presents wrapped in pretty bows.......

Swimming is SCARY! Here we are beginning to see glimpses of her mother's head.
Here we find our bathing beauty; watching a kayak go by.
August 2007
Poor Patience, looking guilty as charged! She still hasn't figured out that they are allowed to eat the patio tomatoes as they wish! Owen knows that they are all for him.
The sun sets on another fun day at Nickerson State Park. Luckily, it's practically in our back yard!
"Who's coming down my driveway?"
(Seri steals the bone)
in front of the pond; see similar photo in "Watch Patience Grow!"
This has always been one of her favorite spots!

This is Patience on her first day out as a " Special"; although EVERY day is Special Day for Miss P.!
It was a rainy and miserable day but we were a happy pair. You can see how wet her coat is, not to mention my hair!
Patience sees the Carrot! Mother is afraid Patience wants to Become One with the carrot!!
Her second major ( 3 points) bringing her grand total to 14!
Me- sprained ankle, hunk of liver in cheek.
Her- Gorgeous as ever!
Judge Klaus Anselm
BOB/BOW Bucks Co.
5 Point major under Judge Sarah Windham, Falmorehall Mastiffs, IRELAND
Two weeks later she would have her second birthday!.
Another two points here; at 22 months old. Hitting her stride!
I couldn't wait for the judge for the photo; Ron was under the weather and it was a MONSOON outside...we needed to get going home.
I need to look up the judge for this one!
Here we are with Judge Susan Catlin, a two point win. Patience was 20 months old. It was a serious drought between wins!
First Weekend out- 2 points from Michael Chaloux ( Canadian judge)
Patience was 6 months old here.

One of my favorite shots of her. I took this at a dog show. Not only did she calmly walk up the noisy and slippery bleachers to watch the Groups with me; she even laid down and gor comfortable on the hard metal. She is such a doll!!
