Showing your Mastini

Before you enter a ring both you and your Neapolitan need to be prepared. You must also be familiar with the Official Standard of the Neapolitan Mastiff, this is the criteria by which your Neapolitan will be judged.

Begin by attending a few shows, it doesn't matter if Neo's are there or not.  Just sit ringside and observe. Showing is a sport - you need to learn the rules. After you have observed, check out some books and videos - many are available at your local library. Locate and attend a "conformation class" - check with your Vet, groomer, boarding facilities, local parks and recreation centers.  Many places offer 'drop in' confirmation classes.

Beginning July 1, 2004 Neapolitan Mastiffs will be fully recognized by the American Kennel Club.  The Neapolitan Mastiff will be in the working group. In Canada, the Neo was recognized March 2006! In the rest of the world, the Neo can compete at FCI events.

To find shows you can visit the following sites - many organizations will gladly add you to their mailing list, so you will know when shows are in your area.

Be sure to visit the "Neapolitan Mastiff Clubs"  page - each club holds it own Neapolitan Mastiff Speciality once or twice a year.
