Rufus is quite unique for a mastiff in that he scrunches himself  through the tunnel with confidence.......

goes over the A-Frame,  jumps through the tire, and can also leap over 5 jumps in a row which demonstrates awesome balance and control.  You will not find many mastiffs out there today that could  even attempt agility maneuvers like those that Rufus has mastered.

"Rufus is “by far” the most remarkable mastiff I have ever met or shown", says his handler, Jewel McDonald, who has been involved with the breed for 8 ½ years. 

He is truly a “one-of-a-kind” and I am very attached to this boy.  Not only is he "near perfect" conformationally, he is oh-so super sweet; he just makes your heart melt. 

It is a privilege showing/presenting this mastiff to the judges at the shows.  He is a true credit to the mastiff breed in both temperament and conformation." Jewel McDonald  -Rufus' exclusive handler and his number one fan!
