First, PRIMO, the #1 Bullmastiff in the Nation from the year 2009, returned to the ring for two weekends (Perry and Kalamazoo) in 2010 Picking up FIVE Best of Breeds and a Group 3 in Kalamazoo. One of those Breed wins included a BEST IN SPECIALTY under Judge Judi Harrington in Perry GA, held by the Sunshine States Bullmastiff Club. Although he missed showing at a potentially wonderful weekend in Jefferson WI due to injury, we are SO proud to announce PRIMO is the #9 Bullmastiff (breed rankings) with FIVE breed wins and 195 Bullmastiffs defeated! Primo was shown to all of these awards by Katie Martin.
In addition Primo was also the #1 ranked Bullmastiff in the American Bullmastiff Association's Top 20 Rankings.
Primo helped dal Primo win the MATURITY Trophy at the 2010 National Specialty, alongside his daughter Fame who was also a Judges AOM at the National, and his grandson Spanky. Primo was awarded second place in a very large stud dog class, behind the famous Liam under judge Billy Brittle (UK).
To finish out the year, Primo was awarded a plaque stating not only his conformation awards, but his Dual Title award (conformation and working), and was recognized as being a Top Producing Sire.
We hope to have many more years with this incredible dog, watch for Primo in the veterans ring in 2011!

Next in line is Mr. Fabulous, aka FABIO another fantastic Primo son out of our Ruby. At just 2 years old Fabio became a BEST IN SPECIALTY winner and a group placer. By two and a half years Fabio became dal Primo's FIRST International Champion AND Canadian Champion. In October Fabio received the only Judges Award of Merit at the Canadian National Specialty. To end the year Fabio took home one of the four Judges Award of Excellence at the 2010 Eukanuba National Specialty handled by our friend Katie Martin. There is a bright future ahead for this dal Primo dog, and we wish him and his owners much success in 2011.
Fabio finished the year the #18 dog with 12 breed wins and 124 dogs defeated!

Last but certainly not least, the youngest of the four boys is NACHO an exciting young dog from Connecticut. Nacho is a multiple Award of Merit winner, and most recently the first dog to receive a Judges Award of Excellence at the 2010 Eukanuba under Judge Glyn Payne (UK). We had the pleasure of having Nacho at dal Primo from July through Sept, where he was expertly handled by our own Katie Martin, where they ran nearly undefeated in the breed, defeating close to 200 Bullmastiffs in six short weekends with 13 straight Best of Breeds and finished their time together with a National Specialty Award of Merit under Judge Billy Brittle (UK). In total Nacho defeated 317 Bullmastiffs in 2010, finishing the year the number FOUR Bullmastiff, earning himself a 2011 Westminster Invitation! Nacho was handled by Kent MacFarlane, Katie Martin, Heather Bremmer and Kevin Bednar to many exciting wins in 2010 from the east coast to the midwest including becoming dal Primo's First GRAND Champion! We expect to see and hear many great things in Nacho's promising future! Best of Luck in 2011 Nacho!
