Oooh, that would be so great! I'm definetly in nowI'm sure Taz and Bogard would make great buddies!
I would definetly love to go to an East Coast meetup as well! Unfortunately, I don't have a car, but if someone from Long Island, NY ends up going and would want to pick Taz and I up ...
Thanks bogardgirl! I will definately keep you guys updated! What made you finally decide on a leo? Just curious..

I was really into the Mastiff breed, Old English Mastiffs to begin with. I did tons and tons of research, read every book possible, and one day it just hit me that an OEM did not really match my lifestyle. I love backpacking, hiking, camping, really vigorous outdoor activities. And I was at the San Francisco Golden Gate Kennel Club dog show 3 years ago, and saw a 250+lb OEM and (loved him LOVED him) but realized that this guy would just die if I tried to give him a pack and go hiking with him. It wouldn’t be fair to the dog to leave at home, and not fair to take on the trip..(you know). To be honest, they seemed like more of a dominant breed than what I would trust myself with (I’m a first time dog owner). Sapphire is 6 months old today, exactly (but that was a coincidence). I would avoid spaying or neutering a dog before 6 months, unless they become mature enough to breed before that. You won't find that in large breed dogs. In fact, I don't know that it is found in any dogs...I know it can happen in cats.
You can even wait until Bogard is older, but 6 months is a fair time: he should be old enough to handle the stress, but he won't be old enough to breed. However, I really think that the longer you can wait, the better, without them becoming mature enough to breed of course. As they mature, their bodies can handle the stress better.

Haven't found anything yet.(Well there are some very far away that I could have shipped over, but I would really like to visit the puppies first.) So I continue to search, I am thinking of attending some shows and so forth to get more information. I am now also looking into tibetan mastiffs...the y are similar in temperament, but will not be subject to breed specific legislation, should that ever happen here in B.C.
Thanks

That was a breed a I went NUTS over when I was looking for a mastiff!! (I ended up choosing a Leo after years and years of research...and I'm thrilled....bu t keep us all updated on your Tibetan search - such a regal and amazing breed!!!)
You know i think or wonder if there is a inqubation time on the round worm s from when they hach,so the stool should checked overy other week on new pup's if this is the case,!on maggie she ,did not have them, The thing my guy;s get know is Calliss's on there Elwow's vet does not think much of this i think it cause the size and the,way they drop.the run,does any one know? molly&Maggie!Bogart your Pumkin is coming SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think there definitely is some sort of incubation, or rather when you test fecal matter you know if "worms" are present but that doesn't tell you if larva is present...? Not sure on this one...but I think you're right there!
Let me tell you in a sec...
Sapphire just came home. The blood panel before surgery showed elevated glucose, so we have to watch that. Other than that, everything went well, but the poor girl looks so sad and tired.

He is quite adorable, that Bogard.
How is he doing now?
With that said....he's keeping down his food, which is great. NO more vomiting...ano ther good sign. And we're talking to the vet about titers for parvo/distempter on Monday. Still has the nasty, nasty snots (I liked your saying there) but seems in great spirits otherwise...so odd. I'm just happy to see him keeping food down and having normal bowels. THANK YOU for asking!!! I read that you only give your pups 2 Parvo/Distemper shots, is this right? Do you ever recommend their owners give 3? Or do you recommend they titer after 2 if they live in a "high risk" area? (Sorry, I'm a lot off topic here)
I am clearly starting to see the big picture here...I understand red...I am by no way as knowledgeable but I have two breeds of dogs that arent the easiest to train and bring into the world properly
I will stick around with ya...BUT i will be me
Awww...I hope your boy starts to feel better soon...I hate seeings pups that are sickThank you so much....we do too! He's kept every meal down since Sunday late afternoon/evening, and his appetite has seemed to pick back up, which I am very thankful for! I hate seeing him sick too - he's too cute to be sick!
(and I'm worrying too much!)
