    Yes, her eyes are amazing. They are very much Spanish Mastiff eyes, always very striking.

    Not as good of a picture, but a better one of the SM eyes. :)

    Hi Stacia,

    The trainer was a chap called Tony Brown. I think he is based in Birmingham. He is on the right hand side of the second photo here : https://www.west-midlands.police.uk/pupidol/faq/

    Not the same chap, but good to know that the police are beginning to become positive trainers.
