"General is a fine example of the results of the planned bringing together of two long-established
kennels (Danier & Tru Grit) that complimented each other well in phenotype"

The thought in creating this litter at that time was to take a line that I had created and been working with for almost 20 years and bring something new to it while still keeping all the things we most treasured about it. This is why I made the decision to use Primo. Primo was the perfect phenotype stud dog to complement our girl Babe and yet still keep what we loved about our lines. Some of our favorite girls have originated from these lines, Bridget, Tia, Visa, Bria, Brooke, Babe, Polly. Our plan is to use General and is git to keep on creating the type of happy, healthy Bullmastiffs we at Danier think best represent the breed and our kennel.

General stood out in my eye since the day he was born and was obvious to me to be pick of the litter. His personality, his structure, movement and temperament stood out that little bit more then all of his litter mates. I wasn't looking to add another boy to our home but I believe that I was guided by the powers to be to find a way to keep this boy and we did. We have never regretted that decision.

General is a moderate dog in structure, middle of the standard in height with a lovely correct headpiece, strong back-skull, excellent topline and correct moderate angulation. General has matured into a well natural-muscled dog that weighs in around 135 pounds. It is no surprise this boy moves like a dream out of such sound and well moving parents as Babe and Primo. General has a wonderful "life is fun" temperament and we are still waiting for him to figure out he is not a puppy anymore. He turns inside out for anyone and brings a wagging tail, a big silly grin, a song and toys to everyone he meets. He is as smart as a whip and is anxious to please. General loves to run, play, fetch and to go boating but is not that fond of swimming. His energy, strength, endurance and temperament are amazing and are a compliment to his parents.

General was shown States side, as a young dog early in 2009 and began and finished his American Championship in just 2 weekends, including once beating his mature sire "Primo" for Best of Breed. Late in 2009 and early 2010 General was shown sateside again, to represent Danier Kennels and his father, Primo. General was shown by his buddy and handler Katie Martin. Together, as a team they had fun and did extremely well with General ending up in the top 25 for 2010, even though we had decided to bring him home and end his show career (stateside) in March 2010. Shortly after his return, we could add Canadian Champion as well, to the list of General's accomplishments.

General will make the odd appearance in the show ring with his handler and friend Sue Muir but mostly he enjoys being the man about the house. General is enjoying watching some of his kids grow, mature and show and we look forward to his contribution to the Danier Breeding program.

General is available at stud to approved females.
