The man arrived at a dog show in England with a muscular brindle dog, its broad head encased in a muzzle. He offered one pound โ not an inconsequential sum in the early 1900s โ to anyone who could escape from his dog.
Inevitably, a hand went up among the crowd of seasoned sportsmen and gamekeepers. The volunteer got a long-running start, but no matter: Slipped from his lead, the muzzled dog overtook his quarry within seconds, knocking him to the ground. As soon as the man struggled to his feet, the dog brought him down. Again. And again. And again.
Eventually, the unlucky wagerer surrendered. And the dog maintained his unbroken record of always getting โ and holding โ his man. That owner who had so cockily proposed a bet he knew he would win was William Burton of the famous Thorneywood Kennels in Nottingham, England. And his unnamed dog was very likely โThorneywood Terror,โ famous not just for being undefeated in such contests, but because he was an early version of a breed known today as the Bullmastiff.๐พ

Occasionally we have older dogs that we retire to special families. This is always a bittersweet decision. This comment borrowed from another breeders site seems to sum it up beautifully.
Every so often, I see a question pop up about whether or not placing retired breeding animals is ethical. To people who arenโt breeders, it often looks bad or feels icky... like breeders are just tossing away dogs once theyโve been used to produce puppies. Let me give you a different perspective...
I receive messages and see posts from the owners of my retired show and breeding dogs. While their lives are comfortable with me, they now get to live an incredibly loved and spoiled life, many times as an only dog with a family that adores them. Different isnโt good or bad, itโs just different. They live a different life with their families than they would have with me. They are content, satisfied, and loved with me; they continue to be all of those things, but with their very own people and without having to share those people with a pack of other dogs.
The day I let one of my retired dogs go to a family is HARD. I cry when I let them go... I look forward to updates on birthdays, โgotchaโ days, and out of the blue every few months. I see how they are loved beyond measure, and I am grateful every day that my โretiredโ dogs have been blessed into the lives of the people that love them just as much as I ever did. Iโm glad it could be one of mine that they love.
Quality breeders donโt rehome retired breeding dogs because itโs easy. We do it in spite of how hard it is on us because itโs whatโs best for them.
