| Homer was born on August 6, 2002 at Kengin Kennels. His Sire is CH Kilroy's Sonoma Sam and his dame is Kengin's Freya. Homer is considered a dark brindle bullmastiff. Bullmastiffs generally come in fawn, red fawn, red brindle, fawn brindle and dark brindle. They are considered a molosser breed. Bullmastiffs came about by crossing bulldogs (40%) to old english mastiffs (60%). This cross produced a very intelligent dog with an excellent temperment.They are classified as a working dog by the AKC because they were commonly used to protect the estate of their owners from poachers long ago. The AKC recognized this as a pure breed in approximately 1935. |
