GAMMONWOOD HARMONY'S DIADEM         x        DIESEL KANE LINVILLE

     Health Testing DNA Report  Harmony.pdf                               Health Testing DNA Report Diesel.pdf

     We are very pleased with this foundation litter of our preservation program. Harmony is our imported beauty from Gammonwood Mastiffs in Australia. Her her sons JOSEPH'S CRUGYBAR and JOSEPH'S CANON IN D MAJOR will bring their Sires well bred pedigree together with imported pedigrees with the most color diversity that is documented to date. Harmony also carries the long coat gene, yet another element of diversity to bring to the future of our Mastiffs.

     Some of Canon and  Crugy's littermates will also contribute to the Mastiff gene pool in other breeding programs, we are so very pleased that the others will contribute to society through service, personal companion, therapy programs and family pets.

 “Each Life a Gift of Song”     -Si Willshire, A Mastiff Tale 2012

So poignant that the Gilpins of Gammonwood each express unique coats, one of Fawn Brindle Pied coat (Nine Chimes), one of Apricot Pied coat (A Cappella) and one of Fawn Pied coat (Seven Songs).

Their littermates of Standard Solid coats were also given musical names: two of Brindle coat (Second Echo and Nights Melody), two of Fawn coat (Dancing Cellos and Winding Rhymes) and one of Apricot coat (Harmony’s Diadem).

We wrote this tribute for Si & Jen in appreciation for their friendship and trust with their girls Cappella & Harmony.  The Symphony metaphor represents our vision for the past, present and future of our Mastiffs, our best friends:

Gilpins of Gammonwood 

Dancing  Cellos  Allegro is Bright

Second Echo,  Adagio,  Calm Hue

Winding Rhymes  Scherzo Tinted Light

Nights Melody, Shade Sonata Heard by Few

Cappella's Voice is long and Sweet

Nine Chimes  Ring in  Seven Songs

All of Their Colours in Harmony Complete

A Symphony That’s Been Here All Along

Diversity and Health Testing Information

   MyDogDNA genome-wide analysis from Genoscoper Laboratories enables panel testing of several hereditary diseases and characteristics as well as the genome-wide measurement of genetic diversity. Health testing results and physical traits for the Mastiff breed for our Sire and Dam are listed below. Coefficient of Inbreeding (COI) for this breeding is 0.00% on 6 complete generations, AVK (ancestor loss coefficient): 89.68 %.
