: I just got the email - we are having a PUPPY! **UPDATE#6**
: kristi August 30, 2006, 01:40:30 PM
WOOHOO!!! :D  I AM DOING THE HAPPY DANCE!!! :D

I just got the email from my breeder, & it is confirmed - we are having PUPPIES! :D
South African Boerboel puppies - to be exact.

I hope that I am not going to jinx this, but I am just sooo excited!

(The mother & last litter did not make it.  A week after confirmation, she had bloat & died.  This was to be her first litter in the US.) :'(

If anyone is interested, you can see Dad & Mom at the following links:
Tank (dad) http://www.dogsbydale.com/males.html
Meitjie (mom) http://www.dogsbydale.com/females.html

Did I say how excited I am? ;)

Congrats!  I'll keep my fingers and all the pups paws crossed that everything goes well with this litter and you get your new baby soon.  I love Boerboels.  Maybe some day I'll get around to finally getting one.

Beorboels (sp?), this is the first I've ever heard of them, but they look gorgeous!  The pics from the website reminds me of my Boxer(13ys old) I had when I was young. He looked so similar, because he weighed in at 95 lbs.  Congrats!

Wow! They are gorgeous!  Can you tell me how they are different from each of the other mastiff breeds?  They look very much like English, and even very close to bullmastiffs.  What is the adult size range?

Ohhh my goodness how exciting!!! Mom and Dad are both stunning.  Although in that pic of Momma pregnant she looks about as comfortable as I was at 9 months.  LOL

We want a boy, any color... I don't know if the colors work like they do for Danes or if it's more random like Labs... I guess we'll have to wait & see!  ;)

I'm working on names - thinking something different... We will be getting him right around our 1 year anniversary (11/25) & we went to Maui for our honeymoon - so maybe something in Hawaiian?  :-\

Here's the latest from my breeder!
I'm sooooo excited!!!  :D
-k.

Well, the vet was able to count 12 puppies, but did say there were areas where she could not see due to the mass.  Just wanted to let you know.
 
Kerri




OOH! NAMES!! YAY!

Bane, Hawaiian, means "Long awaited child"

Kale, Hawaiian, means "Strong and manly" (but is also a green leafy vegetable..soo ...dunno about that one! haha!)

Keona, Hawaiian, "God's Gracious Gift"

Kane, Hawaiian, "tribute, warrior; the doubly-accomplished, golden; man, the eastern sky; beautiful"

Seriously, you guys are going to have to stop this! I'm getting puppy fever!!
: Re: I just got the email - we are having a PUPPY! **UPDATE#4**
: LittleGrace September 30, 2006, 10:06:05 AM
Wow, mom looks ready to pop! The parents look like wonderful dogs and I am sure you will adore your little guy. 

That would be cool to use a hawaiian name since it reminds you of something special.

How about a name of a place on maui; like Haleakala (the volcano's name- Hale also means Home), Lahina, Kaanapali, etc... ????

...waiting for pictures...

Congrats! Jen

Haha that'd have to be a pretty big purse for a 6-8 week old Mastiff puppy!
