[Dailydrool] Question for you

[Esther Strom]

I don't have any info for you about this specific breeder, but I would imagine 
that, just like basset rescue, mastiff rescues do on occasion have puppies 
available. If she were to contact a rescue group now, they might be willing to 
notify her if/when puppies are available.

________________________________


This is basset related because my daughter's mastiffs spend a LOT of time at my 
house with the Houndettes. Her older mastiff is now nine years old and really 
starting to show his age. We're praying that he is with us for several more 
years but we are also realistic enough to know that this may not happen. Anyway, 
my daughter has decided that she wants to develop a relationship with whomever 
she decides to get her next mastiff from now rather than wait till she is in a 
position to have to find someone and hasn't done the proper research. We were 
wondering if anyone in Virginia had any information on Magnolia Grove Mastiffs? 
Interestingly, my daughter contacted them and asked if she could come and visit. 
Their reply was that they didn't allow visitors until the person had committed 
to a puppy which made us more than a little concerned. If any of you know 
anything about this breeder, please let me know (please email me directly since 
this isn't totally basset related). My daughter won't begin to support a puppy 
mill and we're awfully afraid that this situation may be one. I have a vested 
interest since her dogs spend so much time here. I'm very concerned about the 
potential personality of such a huge dog mingling with my Houndettes and any 
foster dog who might be staying with us. It would be nice if she could adopt 
through a mastiff rescue but, since these dogs become such big dogs (Brutus is 
125 lbs and Sasha is 165 lbs!), her preference is to bring them up from the 
beginning.
 
The Houndettes and mastiffs send healing drool to all in need. Thanks in advance 
for any info that you can give us!
