Dogs, dogs, and more dogs

So my wife and I decided to start breeding Boston Terriers. We both fell in love with the breed after getting our first one, Mater. I actually think I surprised her by supporting the idea. I kind of complain because we have quite a few dogs.

In our home, before a couple of days ago, we had 4 dogs. Mine, Zahara, a Lab/Chow mix. Then hers... Sarge, a pug, boston, and few other breeds mixed into one little dog... And there is Rascal and Lily, both CKC registered Bostons.

They just recently had their first litter of pups... All very healthy, playful, and sold LOL. You can follow one the little ones on his own blog by clicking here.

After recouping our cost for the vet care, both for Lily (prenatal care and after) and the puppies, we got to really checking into the Continental Kennel Club. Although respectful, they aren't much for shows. So we decided to take the rest of the money from the puppies and purchase TWO more dogs. Pebbles and Lady Bug (that makes 6).

Our intention was only one AKC female that we could breed. But they are sisters and we didn't want to split them up. Both have impressive pedigrees with many champion ancestors. Our intention is to breed them and keep one or two of the male pups to show.

We also decided that since we ended up with two more females, we will wait a year then breed Lily one more time. After that, she will be retired from breeding and just live out her life with us.

Pebbles and Lady Bug will become our breeders. With the pedigrees they have, we should have no problem keeping champions in the coming generations. They are both very well mannered dogs. But were both kept in outdoor kennels. I mean, they had a good life with their previous owners. A very large yard to run and comfy sleeping quarters at night. But now they are getting accustomed to becoming indoor dogs since we don't believe in outdoor pets.

They will be whelped in the house and never again kennel kept. I'm sure they will adjust just fine.

I posted a link to our website, but it's under construction. Keep checking back for updates.

It's been a while

It has been quite a while since I last used Blogger... But I've been here since before Google took it over..

My past blog post are from a troubled past. One that is exactly that, the past... Life is good for me now...

Anyway, I'm just updating and letting people know that I'm back...

I'll probably discuss trucking, my 3 personalities, and my views on the world....
