Fern is one
special girl. She was the single puppy from our first breeding. She was such
a beautiful girl with loads of personality that we decided to keep her. She
certainly takes after her dad in terms of size, bone and her goofy temperament -
but kept the "pretty" of her mom. I love her
head. She has the neatest way about her - she keeps us laughing
with her antics. Everything she does is done with a full dose
of humour.
As beautiful as Fern is - we decided
to spay her. At four years of age, her back end is still extremely
high - causing her to have a rear with structure unsuitable for
breeding. A mastiff with a very 'straight' rear end can be
susceptible to injury and we don't want to risk passing that trait on to
puppies. So far, we've been lucky and Fern continues to
lead an active life.
