Breeding

I think your siggy is really cute by the way Jordan, Visa has such a lovely profile

Thank you! That is one of my favourite pictures of Visa, I even entered it in the Dogs in Canada magzine photo contest. Hope it wins, we'll find out next month.

There is a town named Coldstream here, and for some reason I get it mixed up with Clearwater all the time lol, so that's one reason I don't like the name ClearWater, but it sure sounds pretty. I'm also trying to think of something with the word wolf in it, or something to do with black or darkness.

How about Ebonwolf (ebony + wolf)

Hey, you're good! LOL. I like that, Ebonwolf. I bet no one has used it either. Thanks for the idea, that's an awesome name.

Definitely!

Our dogue de bordeaux has already been bred (to a ch. female ddb) and had 9 pups, 4 of whom went to potential showing homes (if they ended up being 'perfect' breed standard). He is ch. titled and had all health testing done prior to being bred. When we move (not enough room here) we plan on looking for a female ddb and showing her and then breeding the 2 of them, if everything works out. I have a mentor (I don't think ANYONE should get into breeding without one) who's been showing/breeding for over 20 years now and we will do things right.

Although I don't think we'll have more than 3 or 4 dogues at a time

that's awesome that the pups turned out so nicely! i hope all your litters are that good. i had no idea you showed dogs! i agree that is is a must to have an experiaced breeder to guide you through the pregnancy, labor, and raising the pups.

Yea, it was a great experience. We looked for a female that evened out his charecteristics.. (Helped his weaknesses, ect) And the pups pedigree were pretty much all red! AWESOME European bloodlines. I hope future litters turn out that great as well

We handled him ourselves (well, my husband more than I) and titled him last year.
