News of year 2026 of Gaspalleira kennel - Pyrenean Mastiff | Jack Russell terrier | Gaspalleira Kennel

Excellent dysplasia screening results for our Pyrenean Mastiff, Keita Mansa de Gaspalleira “Mansa”:

Hips: A (dysplasia-free)

Elbows: 0 (normal)

We are absolutely delighted with the results and the behavior of our dogs in Bologna. At six and a half years old, Mauria proved she is still in top form. The youngster, Mansa, showed us she is truly adaptable; despite never having been in a big city, she handled stairs and metal grates with ease, was happy and sociable with both people and other dogs, and was a natural in the show ring. She is a joy to show. Little Jack—Nival de Gaspalleira—also rose to the occasion. Here are the results:
