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.</div>
