We originally got
Cowboy to be Tim's
companion. At the
time, we already
lived with two
Mastiffs, a girl
that had gone blind
from several
inheritable eye
diseases and a boy
who had taken on the
role of her
seeing-eye
companion. The two
were inseparable. So
we got Cowboy to be
Tim's fun loving
companion, and he
fit the bill
perfectly. Cowboy
loves to act goofy,
is always ready to
play, and would
rather be with Tim
than anywhere else.
We knew that Cowboy
came from great
breeding, but we
didn't realize just
how well he would
turn out. As he
grew, we were asked
often if we would
show him. We knew
nothing about
showing dogs, it was
never in our plans,
and we didn't really
consider it at
first. It wasn't
until he was
two-and-half
years-old that we
decided to give it a
try. We entered him
in the Seattle Dog
Show in the spring
of 2011. Cowboy met
his handler the
morning of the show
and ended up winning
Best of Winners his
first weekend out.
He was a Champion
before we could
blink and a Grand
Champion before the
year was out.
Cowboy is handsome
and he's healthy,
but most
importantly, he has
a rock-steady
temperament. He goes
everywhere with Tim
and nothing fazes
him. He loves
meeting new people.
He welcomes those
that run up to pet
and hug him. When
others stand back
apprehensively, he
gently walks over to
them, lowers his
head, and leans into
them. Cowboy truly
believes that
everyone should be
his friend. |

THE ORTHOPEDIC FOUNDATION FOR ANIMALS
MASTIFF CLUB OF AMERICA
CHAMPION OF HEALTH AWARD
Beginning with the 2006 MCOA National Specialty, the Mastiff Club of America, in conjunction with the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals started recognizing Mastiffs which have received significant accomplishments in the ring, in the field, as working dogs, or as producers, AND that have the full complement of appropriate health testing (CHIC Certificate recipients) by issuing them a "Champion of Health Award"
These special Mastiffs have been recognized during the banquet award program at our nationals by receiving the "Champion of Health Award" along with an engraved silver medallion and a $100 donation in the dog's honor to the AKC CHF Mastiff Donor Advised Fund.
If your dog has a CHIC number and has recently celebrated a significant accomplishment at the national level, in the ring, in the field, as a working dog, or as a producer, he or she can be nominated for this exciting award.
Nominations will be made to the MCOA and forwarded to the OFA for their review. The OFA will make the final decision as to who will be awarded the annual "Champion of Health Award"! To submit your dog's name for consideration:
1. You must be a member of the Mastiff Club of America in good standing
2. Your Mastiff must have a CHIC number
3. You must have record of your Mastiff's accomplishments
When submitting a nomination please include the following:
1. Your name and contact information
2. Your Mastiff's full name and call name
3. AKC registration number and date of birth
4. CHIC number
5. Brief description of the accomplishment qualifying this Mastiff for nomination
Submit nominations to:
Laura Watson
MCOA - OFA CH of Health
28 Cresta Way
La Selva Beach, CA 95067
NOTE: Champion of Health Award Nominations must be submitted to the MCOA Health Award Chair by February 15 of each year
