All puppies are in their homes.  Two brindle males, two fawn males, and one "special" brindle female. The brindle female puppy now known as Frickle was born with a birth defect called a Portosystemic Shunt. She stayed here and is preparing to have a procedure done to help with her shunt . Portosystemic Shunts are a rare, serious defect which is not thought to be hereditary in Mastiffs. It is hereditary in Wolfhounds. 

We think that Frickle's shunt is a fluke, but the puppies produced from a repeat breeding will be screened for shunts prior to leaving for their homes.

The boys are all doing great and showing promise.  Frickle herself is absolutely perfect in every other way, and is exactly what I had hoped for in this breeding. I am of course disappointed for her that she has this condition, and for me that I can't use her   to extend my work in my breedings.  I do my breeding for myself ; and my hobby . Not to sell puppies. So in repeating this breeding I am ever hopeful that I will get a beautiful pick bitch puppy like Frickle ; minus the liver shunt.

And Frickle will continue to be the shining bit of perfection that she is in our homes and hearts!
