My first mastiff, an apricot bitch named Rumblin Echo Pine Top Tally Ho, (Tally-Ho) was out of a full brother to Thor. (Bradleys Budget) She was a wonderful sound bitch which was unusual back then. She had a great rear and tons of wrinkle - she also had a long nose and was pretty houndy, but she was the sweetest dog I ever owned. She hooked me on the mastiff temperament. She was bred to Blackheath Wild Bill and had 13 puppies, all whelped naturally and all over 2 pounds each, and all survived. That would never happen again in a gazillion years!!

I guess you should thank Merle Campbell Sr. That Bordeaux blood really had a strong influence in Thor. He was very chiseled and I remember a well defined stop. He wasn't huge, but the judges loved him.

It was a relatively good turn out for a benched show in the 70's! I believe there were about 15-18!

Notice the variations in type and poor quality in many of our foundation dogs, which, by the way, were under the auspices of the OEMC!
