  American & Canadian Champion Onan of Knatchbull ROM

Onan is truly a once in a life time dog...

Onan was Andy's pick out of a litter of puppies and he wanted him.  He was always a well balanced puppy who grew into an all round balanced moderate dog with excellent pigmentation, topline and head piece, but most of all he loved to perform in the ring right from the start.  He obtained his Canadian Championship at the young age of 10 months.  He went on to have a full career of show success both in Canada and the US from puppy to veteran.  He is a multi Breed and Group winner in Canada and the US. 

Onan won in 2000 Winners Dog & Award of Merit at the American Bullmastiff Association National Specialty with a huge entry of 90 dogs.  Brindles are more difficult to place in the ring and be recognized.  He was owner-breeder-handled to this prestigious win and even to his American Championship.  This was one of my proudest moments, as was in 1993 at the American Bullmastiff Association National Specialty with my dear Champion Vindicta of Knatchbull won Winners Bitch & Award of Merit too.

Onan was a showman, who entered the ring to win.  He may not have been the biggest dog but he had a biggest desire to win and knew how to perform in any size ring under any conditions.  I just went along for the ride and it was a great ride with him.

At the age of 10 years, he still goes on to sire more puppies, Hilda's litter of 15 puppies is a statement of longevity and health.  He tries so hard to keep up at the daily walks, but he knows the short cuts too.  He has slowed down some but never will say never.  We don't let him now jump up onto the back of the truck.

2009,  Onan is still going strong for his age of 10 years + but is retired officially from the breeding barn.  This year, he is recognized by the American Bullmastiff Association by achieving his Registry of Merit (ROM)  which I am so very proud that he has obtained.   As a Canadian owned and bred bullmastiff to produce American Champions in another country is wonderful.  He has so much to offer and has given much in the breed, such as type, pigmentation and out going good temperament.  We are so proud of him and this new title is important to us as dedicated breeders of Bullmastiffs .  

2011,  on Nov. 29, 2011, our dear Onan passed away just 24 days away from his 13th birthday.  He was born on Dec. 22 1998.  You are missed here.  Rest in peace.  Andy & Helene
