Personality: Chaucer's personality and temperament is what one should expect from an Old English Mastiff. He is a real character. He absolutely LOVES people, and his whole rump shakes when he meets someone new, or knows someone is going to pet him. He also gets along very well with other dogs, AND cats. Health: As mentioned previously, he has qualified for the Gold Star Mastiff Health Certification, which is the highest health certification a mastiff can achieve. Compared to Mastiff Standard: Chaucer has wonderful mastiff type, standing 33 inches at the withers, with a nice big head with great expression. He has an incredible amount of pigment in his face, and dark ears. He also has a perfect scissors bite; black nails; nice angulation in the rear; large bone size, and nice substance, with his weight fluctuating between a LEAN 210lbs and 215lbs. Chaucer has superior movement, and is a true athlete - he can keep up with Lab, Chessie, and husky buddies when so inclined. Titles and Achievements: Chaucer has 15 points and a major with a VERY inexperienced owner/handler:):) Chaucer is not a big fan of the show ring, and would rather be doing one if his Top Seven favorite things:):) Also, Chaucer has begun making visits to a local nursing home; and they just absolutely LOVE him!!! This is a true testament to his wonderful temperament. As a result, Chaucer intends to earn his certification with TDI in the near future.
