I’m an AKC judge, approved to judge four Groups (Working, Hound, Sporting, and Non-Sporting), Junior Showmanship, Miscellaneous, and Best in Show. I have judged internationally in England, France, Spain, Japan, Sweden, South Africa, Hungary, Colombia, Australia, and New Zealand, and I was honored to judge the American Bullmastiff Association National Specialty two times.
Bullmastiff breeders and judges must focus on structural integrity, faults like splayed feet & cow hocks, and improving breed quality.
