Oliver is awesome.  He is everything I could ever think to ask for in a dog.  It’s hard to even begin listing all of his wonderful attributes.  High intelligence, calm demeanor, even temperament and easy trainability top the list.  Impressive size and stunning good looks are also positives.  What makes him even more special to me is the entire American Mastiff experience.  Things like the rarity of the breed, the whole process of applying for and obtaining a puppy and the relationship I have with my breeder are definite pluses.  One of the most enjoyable aspects of American Mastiff ownership for me has been sharing my experience of raising Oliver with the many friends I’ve made via the internet forums.  Who better to understand and share in my obsession than other owners of the same magnificent breed?!
