"The Atlantean Sword"

Basil Poledouris 

 Show Success

One of the greatest compliments to a breeder is to have specimens they bred compared on the highest level in the AKC show ring. To be judged by a professional in the ring amongst other show specimens is truly a special attribute. I am proud to say that my dogs over the past several years have been 1st or in the top 3 in every show Old World Mastinos has entered. I owe alot of that credit to those breeders in Italy whos lines I used to start my line. It is NO secret that the lineage of my Old World line all goes back to 2 WORLD CHAMPION Mastinos. They are World Champion Brigante Del Castellaccio and World Champion Carnera Della Grotta Azzurra

General appearance:

A heavy, massive, and stocky dog of great size, whose length is greater than the height at the withers.
