CH Diesel of Safe Haven "Diesel"
Winning At The Dog Shows!!


Diesel took Best of Breed multiple times after we made him a Champion in 2004 with Tracy owner handling!!! We brought Diesel out of retirement in 2007 to show him in Veteran classes. He was shown five times at Supported entry shows under AKC Mastiff Breeder Judges, including a Judge from Ireland. He won four out of the five times and finished the year 2007 with a BIG BANG!!!
We brought Diesel out of retirement one last time to show him on December 13, 2008 and he placed Best Veteran, and he also won Best of Breed!!! He then made the cut for group!!! Thank you to Judge Douglas Holloway for putting Diesel up for both Best Veteran and Best of Breed at Diesel's final show!!! He had a wonderful show career and truly finished his show career with a HUGE BANG!!!

Best Veteran Dog at the Bucks County Kennel Club Supported entry show on May 5, 2007 under UK Breeder Judge Mrs. Sarah H. Windham of Falmorehall Mastiffs!!!! It was his first show in over a year!!! Mrs. Sarah Windham said this about him in her critique "Veterans 1ST- C & T Thore's CH Diesel Of Safe Haven at 7 years or thereabouts, I feel this dog could yet continue to sire very typey progeny. With a super body and exceptionally strong rear coupled with a well formed head and this hard to come by expression, could one go wrong? No problem on the move."!!!! Diesel then made the cut for Best of Breed with and entry of 136 Mastiffs!!!
Thanks go to Rick Cisneros of Night Stalker Mastiffs for the great job he did showing Diesel to this big win.
