Our Chairman: Jamie Dodd
Jamie has been involved in Mastiffs since 1989 when his parents bought their first Mastiff Tugwell, shortly followed by Megan a rescue who had been treated terribly by her previous owner. Jamie has been involved in helping with the other breed rescue, showing and judgeing Mastiffs. His other interest's are his Clumber Spaniel's Bertie and Button, Labrador Ben, Lakeland Terrier Rusty and Jack Russell Patch.
Our Secretary & Main Co-Ordinator: Emma Herring
Emma has like her brother Jamie, been involved with Mastiffs since 1989. Over the years she has helped with rescueing many Mastiffs for other breed rescue's. She is well known in the show ring with Heffalump Mastiffs. In particular having a lot of success recently with Womble who is an English Champion and won Best Of Breed at Crufts 2008 (you may have seen them on the t.v!) Womble is co-owned with her mother Kim (Our fundraising Officer) & Jamie. Emma rescued Jemima in 2002 who is now 10.5 year's old and still acts like a 3 year old!
Treasurer: Kim Dodd-Utting
Kim bought her first mastiff in 1989, Tugwell who gave her the mastiff bug! She was involved with the many different breed rescues over the years including the joint rescue between the two breed clubs Friends Of Mastiff Welfare. Kim has fostered many Mastiffs over the last 17 years and has an extra special spot for the 'golden oldies' such as Dillon. Kim is well known round the show circuit and has had success under the Luvalump and Heffalump affix's.
Committee Member: Sharon Clarke
Sharon has had Mastiffs for 7 year's and at present has 5 Mastiff's, 2 G.S.D's, 2 Golden Retriever's, 3 Cat's and 3 Horse's! When she is not looking after her animals she is often seen round the show ring with her Suncamo Mastiff's and is kept busy with her new venture- her own grooming parlour.
Committee Member: Pearl Chadwick
Pearl is well known on the show scene for her excellent and efficient stewarding and judgeing of many breeds. Pearl had her first Mastiff 8 years ago and like the rest of us has fallen head over heels in love with the breed. She currently has 3 Mastiffs and her other love are her French bulldogs.
Committee Member: Robin Chadwick
Robin is the long suffering husband of Pearl, who is often seen round the showring waiting for Pearl to finish stewarding or judgeing! The upside is he is always available for a friendly chat and to help hold someone's Mastiff (usually Womble!)
Committee Member: Paula Harris
Committee Member: Stuart Eaton
Shhhhh don't wake the babies!
Paula & partner Stuart have had Mastiff's since 2004. They bought their 2nd Mastiff Inca, in 2006 and started showing. By this time were then both hooked on the breed and have since acquired Winston and Shana. They applied for their affix in January 2007 and are now known as Oshkosh Mastiffs.
Committee Member: David Utting
David is the long suffering husband of Kim, dad of Dudley and step-dad of Emma and Jamie! He is the one who holds it all together for us when we have to go away for a show. And loves and cares for each and everyone of our 8 Mastiff's, Terrier Fizzy and Clumber Spaniel Flump.
Willing Helper-Shelley Greenwood
Shelley is the long suffering partner of Jamie and has totally fallen in love with the Mastiff breed. She has her horse Barney and shares Jamie's mob!
Our Youngest And Most Willing Helper: Dudley Utting
Dudley has grown up with Mastiff's over the last 7 years and has seen many different rescues. He is always so willing to help and care for them. We often find that the really nervous one's like Dillon, take to Dudley straight away as a child is often less of a threat. Dudley is also learning how to do Junior Handling and has just started showing at competition level!
