Aesthetic Perfection Mohatu: "Heaven’s Gift"
This incredible puppy came into my life at just 3 months old, fulfilling a long-forgotten dream of mine from one of my dream kennels, Copperbulls. I had put that dream aside due to the high shipping fees and taxes, but last year, everything changed unexpectedly.
I saw my dream kennel congratulating a breeder from Russia, whose dogs were both sired and dammed by Copperbulls. Despite my initial hesitation about adding a 14th Bullmastiff to my care, the signs pointed me toward Mohatu. Haha! When I inquired about him, the breeder was hesitant to let him go, wanting him to stay in Russia. They knew I wasn't a fan of shows and that Mohatu would be my beloved companion. Eventually, they agreed, and I named him Mohatu.
When my friend Paul met Mohatu, he encouraged me to let him join the show scene. With minimal persuasion, he pushed me to enter Mohatu into competitions. Mohatu met Paul three times before his first show at just 4.5 months old, where he stunned everyone by winning 8 Best of Breed, 8 Group 1, 2nd Best Baby Puppy in Show, and 3rd Best Baby Puppy in Show.
Fast forward to his second show, where he turned 8 months old during the four-day Philippine Circuit Show. There, he earned the titles of Philippine Champion, Puppy Champion, Southeast Asian Champion, and Hope Winner 2025. Now, at 10.5 months, he entered his third show and won 5 Best of Breed, 3 Group 4, and 1 Group 3. Thanks to these wins, Mohatu is now a Philippine Grand Champion.
All along, I thought this boy would be content just playing in the garden, but he truly shines in the ring and knows how to show off! A massive thank you to Paul for the training and belief in Mohatu, and for pushing me to showcase his talents. I'm also grateful to Marina and Vladislav for allowing me to have him, even when showing wasn’t on my mind. And of course, thank you to Andres of Copperbulls for sharing your amazing dogs with the world.
