Subject: Re: a picture for you BLAZE6
We are all enjoying the snow up
here especially Blaze. She is so funny to watch galloping through
the snow scooping up the snow in giant mouth fulls. She never seems
to tire out in the Winter. We are really excited to see pictures of
our 165 lb female, Blaze on your website. Our family has always had
dogs, but never one like Blaze. She has such a loving and devoted
personality it is like having a sister in the family. Blaze is
totally devoted and a constant companion no matter what we are
doing. Sometimes you have to feel guilty moving about the house as
she needs and wants to constantly be at your side. If the entire
family is at home she will choose the room with the most family
except at bedtime, when she will refuse to go upstairs until all
family members have gone to their rooms on the second floor. She
will not allow one person to stay downstairs alone. Blaze gets along
with everyone and is the best known dog in the neighborhood. She
will play with dogs ranging from a Chihuahua (our next door
neighbors) to a Doberman she sees at the park. Her absolute favorite
though are children. She seems to instinctively know that she must
be gentle with them and just wants to give them kisses and coerce
them into playing with her. Our house is always safe even though she
is such a friendly dog. No person would dare to enter when we are
away once they hear her roar. If an intruder would be stupid enough
to persist one look at her massive size would send them scurrying
away. If we are home Blaze can sense whether a new person is OK just
by our behavior. She will always place herself between an unknown
person and us. Never has she acted aggressively towards a stranger,
but will not accept them till she knows her family does.I
forgot to mention that she was awarded an AKC Good Citizen Award.
She easily passed all the requirements for this when she was
only 7 months old. She is now almost 3 1/2.
Thank you again for giving the world the American Mastiff !
Best wishes to all at Flying W,
Jim

Hi Fredericka, We'd love to
see Blaze included in the site. We thank you for raising such
wonderful dogs.Blaze is the love of our lives.
Previous email we
received from Jim regarding Blaze when she was only eleven months
old in 2005
Just thought I would share one of
Blazes finer moments. We had Blaze with us on our recent trip
to Northern Michigan camping. We attended a concert at
Interlochen Arts academy which was attended! by well over five
thousand people. Since Blaze obviously was not allowed in the
concert I elected to stay out on the grounds with her. With all
the people and noise plus the strange surroundings Blaze was
perfectly behaved. She was on leash but never wavered from my
side. She was the center of attraction and attention to
literally a hundred or more people, most asking to pet her
and wanting to know about the breed. She was a picture perfect
walking advertisement for the American Mastiff and Flying
W. I never thought there were so many Mastiff owners but we met
owners of English, French, Bullmastiff and Italian Mastiffs. I
guess the Northwoods and good music attract owners of fine dogs.
We gave the address of your website to several people at
Interlochen as well as to a young couple near our camp. They had
been looking for an English but now are considering the
American due to the drier mouth. Blaze is now 118 lbs and 27in
at her shoulder. She just turned 11 months. (almost one
year old). (2005)
Take care, Jim
