My search for an English Mastiff began with a visit to Lazy D Mastiffs, owned by Jimmy and Nancy Walker.  Lazy D Mastiffs were magnificent, and it was there that I became fascinated  with this breed. 

During my visit, I met Rufus' infamous grandmother Ch Ironclads Ironhill Ivana (Ivana), Rufus' grandfather, Ch Lazy D Fortunate Son Of Marv (Pork Chop), and Rufus' mother, Ch Lazy D Ironclad Chantilly Lace (Lace).

Rufus was only two days old at the time I saw the litter; however, I was not assured of obtaining a puppy for six more weeks. 

  After the litter turned eight weeks of age, I drove back to Lazy D Mastiffs, and Rufus became a member of the Seawright family. 

Everybody tells Rufus that he's something  special, and that he's different, and we feel that he is.
