Seriously though, i wouldn't breed my boy, although there is more people interested in the puppies from the 4 bitches then there will be puppies for sure!! But i wouldn't do it. I don't feel it right at this time. I don't feel ready, i know i have the boy, but the males owner needs to be prepared for everything. I do hope in years to come i might be able to breed dogs but i would buy the best breeding bitches/dogs and go from there!

Like you my dog is simply a family member. Nothing more nothing less. It is flattering though isn't it!!! xx

I let them ramble on for a bit then tell them to 'F' off, as I wouldn't put out to stud with any dog that they mention..i.e...Excellent guard dog...would rip this dog or that dog to shreads..is really bulky if you know what i mean..ie steroids !!!

Sadly people still do this to their dogs !! And its mostly the neds who thinks its really cool to have a very large muscluar dog !!! When they are only about 9-10stone themselves !

I guess some people might be genuine, but others just see £ signs
