Royal Oaks Mastiffs It was after much study and thoughtful consideration that we chose predominately Greco and Groppetti lines. Mrs. Greco and her friend Mrs. Funk were ahead of their time in their careful and scientific breeding program. Through their selective breeding, only Mastiffs exhibiting the best qualities were allowed to reproduce. These ladies produced healthy and refined Mastiffs and helped set the standard for Mastiffs today. *Greco's Hollesley Medicine Man was regarded by many as the finest Mastiff of all time. He was Best of Breed on four occasions at the famous Cruft's Show. He is included in our current line. The Groppetti lines are historic. Wonderfully dedicated, Patty Groppetti has produced some of the finest and most lauded Mastiffs of all time. Working tirelessly to better the breed, her claim that all of today's great Mastiffs have at least a portion of her line is true without a doubt. Patty Groppetti's efforts are greatly appreciated by everyone who loves the breed. From her comes *Groppettis World Champion, the great Wallon, the only Mastiff to ever be awarded the honor twice. Judge/Author Marie Moore once wrote, 'Wallon is the most perfect Mastiff I have ever seen'. Also included in our line is the American and English Champion *Arciniega's Lion of Bredwardine, sired by Wallon. *Awarded Best of Breed while competing with 156 other Mastiffs in America, he was exported to England. There he became the #1 Mastiff in England for two consecutive years. These impressive Mastiffs as well as many other Champions are ancestors of our current line. We are thankful for the efforts of breeders before us who produced the lines we now have. Oddly, it is here in the Midwest that these exceptional Mastiff breeders began these lines; it seems fitting that these lines have remained here.
