Along with everything that must be done today to get ready for Easter, Rhoda and I are taking Emma to meet her (hopefully) husband. One English Mastiff stud is a beautiful apricot color, 2 years old and already 180 pounds. Then Rhoda actually found a fawn color stud not that much farther away and the last litter he threw was 16 pups and the stud fee is only $500.00. The owner of the apricot wants $800.00 and his litters are usually around 10 pups. We would prefer to have the fawn color. Our plans are have one litter of pups then SPAY this girl although if we end up with show quality beautiful puppies we may need to rethink this plan. If Emma does get pregnant the pups would be born after the move which means no fenced in yard. Perhaps we can put up a pup run somewhere. Funny how we had Pleasant Home all ready if we ever wanted puppies and never had puppies. My mom used to raise Irish Setters but used the now gone chicken coop and run for them.
I'm a little apprehensive this morning about the trip to the farm, hope all is well.
