About Ben
Benjamin is a very sound young dog who at only 2 1/2 years old is really only just beginning to mature.
Ben in Sydney Ben in Sydney 2006.
To say Ben has a superb head is an understatement!
He has one of the best male heads in Australia. However, there is so much more to Ben than just his head. He has a body that is built low to the ground, correct topline, solid bone, deep broad chest, and a strong, well muscled back end. Added to this is his superb rich red colouring and a real laid back personality.

As he continues to mature we expect he will only get better!
Ben is one of the most successful Dogues on the Australian show scene! He is only the third DDB in Australia (and only the second Australian bred DDB) to win Best Exhibit in Group at an All Breeds Championship Show (a feat he has done twice).
He was also awarded Reserve in Group (from the Junior Class) under international judge, Mr Stan Zielinksi (USA). There were 188 dogs entered in the Group that day. Ben is one of only three Dogues in Australia to be placed at this level by an international judge. He is a multi Best in Group, multi Reserve in Group and multi Class in Group winner.
Ben won Puppy of Breed at Brisbane Royal in August 2004, Reserve Challenge Dog at Toowoomba Royal in April 2005 and Runner-up Best of Breed at Toowoomba Royal in March 2006. We are delighted with Ben taking Best Intermediate Dog at the 2006 Sydney Royal Easter Show (from a class of 4 dogs) under Mr J. Juslin (Finland).
Ben's favourite activities include sleeping in the house and chewing everything he can get his teeth in to! Mobile phones, TV remote control and furniture are amongst the tastiest items around.
Ben is an impressive young dog with much to offer the breed and the success in the show ring to back it up!
