How do I start? Digby met with an untimely death just short of seven
years old. This tragedy devastated us as a family and took a great
deal of time to get over. He was our first home bred dog, our first
home bred Champion, our protector, our friend, and our everything.
He was very loyal and very clever. He is missed everyday of our
lives. He loved the show ring and possessed such effortless movement
he was a joy to watch. He made my show ring hobby a dream come true
with countless awards. He sired 3 litters of puppies and from these
one from the 'Dayquest' prefix and two from the 'Bullspirit'
prefix went on to become Australian
Champions. We luckily retained a pup from his last litter - 'Pedro'
- and he reminds us of his Dad everyday. They have an uncanny
likeness. We were very fortunate to have been owned by such a unique
dog. Michele Edwards Nightquest Bullmastiffs

3rd April 1991 - November 1997
Amy was our first Bullmastiff. We had thoroughly researched all dog
breeds and had decided to go down to the local dog show and see our two
finalists in the flesh. One being the Bullmastiff and the other the
Rottwieler. We were pointed in the direction of the Bullmastiffs and
there was no need to continue our search. There we saw this little pudgy
four month old puppy sitting upright, ears flying, greeting everyone
that passed. 'Love at first sight!'. Unbelievably this puppy was for
sale and we quickly organized payment. We couldn't believe our luck.
What a perfect day! We had no intention of showing 'Amy' at that stage,
but after meeting and talking to some exhibitors we thought it sounded
like a bit of fun. And there is what started my show career and
obsession to compete in the conformation ring with Bullmastiffs. To our
surprise 'Amy' gained her Australian Champion Title and I gained a hobby
I love. Further down the track we decide upon a mate for 'Amy' and we
bred our first litter. What an experience! We kept a male from this
litter 'Digby', who in turn gained his Australian Championship title and
ended up being one of our most successful show dogs. Despite all this
'Amy' was always at her most comfortable when curled up on the front
seat of my husbands van ready for their days work. She was a beautiful
girl and we treasured every memory we had with her. She is the one to
credit for our continued support in this Majestic breed. Thank you Amy.

Dearest Breezie.
Brie...........wonderful grand old Brie. She was loved and adored by
so many people. We would like to thank Cilla Mullen for making her
last years such happy ones. We need to thank Glenn and
Ernie Sparham (Gameguard Kennels) for our opportunity to incorporate
the famous Gameguard / Graecia lines into our breeding program. I
will never forget the first day I laid eyes on this
girl...................'the head' she has an amazing head, so unique
and yet feminine. Brie is the foundation of nearly everything we
have today. She has given us wonderful heads and the breed type that
we were so in ore of in the past. She is a true Bullmastiff bitch
with amazing qualities such as pigment, head, substance and
soundness. She will always be so very special to us for the assets
she has past along in her genes. Rest peacefully you dear old girl.

Hips: R:3 L:2 =5
I hoped it was not true, that it may all go away.
But tragically it is and it hasn't and I am left without my special girl
by my side.
So unexpected, so quick, so young..............so unfair.
She took a piece of me with her and I long for for it back everyday.
With her here I was whole, our family was complete.
I miss her so much, nothing can express the grief I feel for her.
I miss our cuddles and all the secrets we shared.
I miss her face, her stunning exquisite face.
I miss her smile, her beautiful contagious smile.
I miss her eyes, eyes that told me she understood every word I said.
I miss the way she would stamp her feet a twist in circles whenever she
saw the children.
I miss so many things that when I try to write them down I feel I'm not
doing her justice.
I was in awe of her beauty, her presence and her affectionate nature.
I am so grateful for having known her and she will always be what I
strive for in my breeding.
Till we meet again my gorgeous, special DIVA.
