Old School Mastiffs -- Ch. Old School's Junior

Ch. Old School's Junior Date of Birth: January 15, 2002

	Junior was our pick puppy from his litter. He was very much like his father, in personality, and in looks (hence the name "Mongo Jr." which stuck with him despite all logic against naming so closely after his father). He is pictured here just half a month away from his 7th birthday.

	Junior, like his father before him, was one of the biggest dogs we have ever produced, 250+ pound dog. In addition to his physical size, his personality was equally big. He was a very sweet and silly boy. Very gentle and loving, but also very stubborn. It could be difficult to make him do something he didn't want to do (like trying to stack him when he's fed up with all the fuss over him for pictures!) He is pictured here at 4 years of age.

	Junior placed first in his class at Bucks under English breeder judge Mrs. Betty Baxter (Farnaby) in 2003, and second in his class under breeder judge Mr. James Zellen (Banyon) at Trenton KC in 2003, and he placed 4th in his class under Mr. Fred Simon at the MCOA National Specialty in 2003. Mrs. Baxter's Critique of Junior: "Bahlmans' Old School's Junior. A big youngster, made well and strong, he had good bone and very good strong hindquarters. He also had very good feet and a pleasing expression. Moved with great power." A video of Junior's movement (side gait, coming, and going) is available on our YouTube page.

	At one year of age, Junior matched his father in height, but he took his time in maturing out. He had a beautiful head, excellent bone and a very nice front and his reach and drive were excellent. We would have liked to see more angulation on him, but otherwise, he turned out to be a very nice, sound, typey dog.
	Because of his wonderful personality (so much like his father and mother) he was a joy to be around.
