Match judges John and Nancy Pitas, Brookside Mastiffs We are very lucky this year to have John and Nancy Pitas, of Brookside Mastiffs to co-judge our match. John and Nancy have been breeder-owner-handlers of mastiffs in the New England area since the 1970's. Their successes are too many to enumerate, suffice it to say Brookside Mastiffs are behind some of the most successful dogs in New England as well as the country. Key figures in the mastiff community for years, John and Nancy not only showed, they made showing FUN and through their humor and generosity and commitment to the breed as well as the local breed club of the time they introduced and mentored many of our most successful mastiff owners. =================================================================== Posted October 14th, 2013 Mastiff Club of New England will be meeting on Sunday, October 20, 2013.
