For dogs bred with the Old World instinctual guarding qualities of the true Molosser.
We guarantee to replace any pup which proves to have a genetic fault which may not be treated by reasonable means*, and which would detract from the quality of life for the dog. Such dog or pup would be replaced from the first available litter we breed, We do not pay freight, and may require the return of the faulty dog. Minor faults such as cherry eye are not serious and we will not replace pups or dogs with such minor faults. Nor can we guarantee that any given dog will breed. Neither can we, or any breeder, guarantee a young pup will be show quality, this is just not possible, no one can tell how a pup will develop. If you are intent on showing, best to buy an older dog, or be happy to get the pick of the litter and take your chances. To my knowledge, very few of our Neapolitan Mastiffs have been shown, Aust. CH. Abcalert Hanibble, and Aust. CH. Abcalert Shadow both males, and one of our females in Victoria has also recieved her championship Abcalert Artemis. Abcalert Fenrir has also gained his Championship and won his class at the 2006 Perth show. I do not show myself, I am too far from the main circuit to bother, and do not like the criteria toward which most show kennels breed, the show clique have been the ruination of many a "working" breed. I am very proud to have bred these champions, as anyone would be, but never do I choose breeding stock for looks alone.
As stated in Mario Zacchi's book 'The Neapolitan Mastiff': "At any rate it must be said that compared to some defect or other in shape, the psyche of the animal has quite a different merit. If the title of champion plainly bears witness to prestigious external beauty this always remains secondary to such endowments as fidelity, courage, intelligence, all of which cannot shine forth at the show."
My own sentiments entirely.
