Katie is a beautiful silver fawn bitch I purchased from Sarah Waldorf of Lyndesfarne Mastiffs, Albany, New York.  She has movement to die for. She has a wonderful, quiet personality, full bodied with a nice shoulder and a deep chest, reverse scissors bite, extremely athletic and agile, and is quite a  little chunk.  She has done very well on her first few times in the show ring, taking firsts in most of her classes with limited showing.  She is quite a momma's girl and has had the embarassing moments (for me) of howling in the ring and looking all over for me, therefore I will be showing her the remainder of her career.
