Puff

CH Pendragon's Puff of Honalee

March 3, 2002 - October 28, 2007

If the sages ask thee why

This charm is wasted on earth and sky,

Tell them, dear, that if eyes were made for seeing

Then Beauty is its own excuse for being.

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson (from "The Rhodora")

Susan & Bill Krauser of Pendragon Mastiffs bred with care and concern for type, structure, health, and temperament. For generations, they carefully bred Mastiffs that were fully tested: in the veterinary office, in the show ring, and in the home. In May of 2002, Susie invited me to be her "whelper helper" and I was blessed with the opportunity to spend a week with Lilith and her 10 babies, Cara, Morgana, and Desi. (oh, and Bill and Susie!)

Our Puff is one of those puppies and this litter was one of the last Pendragon litters. Puff is the product of all the care, skill, and knowledge that Susie & Bill applied to their breeding program -- both on her father, Bentley's side and on her mother, Lilith's side. She has a beautiful head, tremendous bone, good angulation, long body, good top line, deep chest, well-sprung ribs, and, best of all, a warm and loving personality.

Puff's snores shake floors. We have learned to be lulled to sleep by them, but overnight visitors often fear that we are having an earthquake!!

Puff completed her AKC Championship at the July 31, 2004, Beaver County KC Show in Canfield, Ohio, with her 2nd of two 5-point majors. She earned 18 points total (from 6 different judges) including 3 majors, 2 Best of Opposite Sex, and 2 Best Of Winners.

Puff defeated nearly 100 Mastiffs at this Supported Entry show when

UK Judge Peter Serjeant awarded her with WB/BOW/BOS (over 14 female specials!)

Bucks County KC Critique

Pendragon's Puff of Honalee (owners: Nancy & Nicholas Serdich) Fawn, very attractive, eye-catching and of excellent type and substance. Pleasing head and expression, good mask and ears, broad deep chest, excellent topline and profile, moved soundly and smoothly. I admired her very much and was pleased to award her Winners Bitch.

I wait at Heaven's Rainbow Bridge with longing and with love,
Until you leave your home on earth to meet me here above.

Pets gather at the Heavenly bridge where peace and love abound
And wait their master's coming until once again they're found.

I have never really left you, I'm with you everyday,
Our love is everlasting, and our bond will always stay.

I merely left the earthly plane to guard you from above,
And here I stay with happy heart to greet the ones I love.

My pain is gone, each day a joy. I'm young and strong and free.
And truly blessed in every way that soon you'll come for me.

We'll walk the path to Heaven side by side where we will be,
At the place we shall remain as one through eternity.
