So, I've been slowly working on our new Boston Terrier website. While working on it this morning, I got to thinking about a conversation with my wife yesterday.
She says that she seems to think that I'm more excited about our new adventure than she is. I don't seem to think so. I just want things done right if I'm going to be in agreement.
Jenny loves her Bostons. More than I do quite honestly. But they aren't bad dogs. And yes, I'll admit I was head over heals with our first one, Mater Bug. He was beautifully marked and loved to box. I think if he were here today, he would be in charge LOL...
Anyway, I want things done right with this new adventure. The problem is, things cost money. I want our dogs to all have a clean bill of health from our vet. I understand they were vet checked by their previous owners, but I want them checked out with our vet.
And my biggest worry is the smell in the house. I am in full agreement that the Bostons should be kept indoors and be pets rather than just animals that we own. I am NOT a fan of kennels. But I think I would be willing to go that route if my house starts to smell like one. There was a lot of money that has gone into remodeling our home.
I mean, it already needs carpets replaced because of two males (Rascal, our male Boston and Sarge, a mix) having pissing wars up until Sarge got fixed when Lily came into our home. And yes, that was a condition of mine also when it came to getting our first female... Sarge must loose his balls...
I just want things done right. I don't want to be considered a puppy mill. Our bitches will only be allowed to breed once a year. And unless previously agreed upon, all puppies MUST GO! Even if it means giving in on our price after a while. We have one right now that is lingering and I think Jenny is starting to get attached. It's time to start offering him at a lower price. Or maybe send him to my mom.... Her old dog is about to kick the bucket.
It kind of sucks being out here on the road and not at home where I could be getting the pen done outside and the doggy door put in so that the dogs can go out when they need or want to. But, I gotta pay the bills.
So, in conclusion... Am I more excited than her about our new adventure into breeding? I don't think so... But I do think I'm more concerned about the little things that need to be done to make sure it's done right.
And to be honest, I want to get into showing dogs too. Well, I want her to get into it. I'm a truck driver, no way I can do it. We have two bitches with championship bloodlines and looking at a new male that is sired and grandsired by champions.
If we are going to do this, we are going all the way. We will have a champion sire in our house within two years.
