Any of my NC people interested in in a pup? I have an opportunity for y’all.

So we get confirmation on this pairing in about 2 weeks which I’m super excited about. First 3 picks are already reserved but I’m willing to co-own pick male with another camp. It’s an opportunity to pick up something awesome without the crazy ticket! Full rights can be discussed however it will be extremly limited options.

This boy is still open for a new home 🏡! Fully vaccinated, microchipped and embarked already.

Well we had to make a switch at the last minute, But was able to get this breeding knocked out this morning.

Legend is an absolute beast and had such an amazing personality. Boy was all over the vet techs and was ready to work. He just wanted belly rubs lol.

Again S/o his owner Jose Rivas for making this happen with such short notice. Now it’s just a waiting game.

Some heavy hitters in here with bossy, topdog and primeyard productions.

Big s/o to Jose Rivas for coming in clutch with a last minute stud change. I appreciate ya helping me able to get this breeding done and using his boy Legend! Legend X Laila went down this morning.

GOING DOWN NEXT WEEK!

We will be taking GrCh Prodigy to Laila. GrCh Prodigy has a mix of that Famous Edge blood up top and Gotti on bottom. His daddy needs no introductuion as he is a proven stud time and time again producing GrCh’s in every class. Waffle House is in a league of his own. On btm 2x GrCh Dax thru cashpot and cookie.

I locked in Prodigy years ago and he was suppose to be a follow up to Dually but I learned very quickly how plans can be derailed and changed instantly. So everything got put on hold. Here we are 3 years later coming full circle and back to the original plan just with a differnt female. Laila, produced very well with Dually and I was extremely happy with the results from that litter thus far.

The Goal is the same! To bring in more phenotype to our XL’s and with GrCh’s all throughout Prodigy’s ped it’s been proven that he has what it takes to add so much value to our program.

20/07/2024

Black Trindle male, we’ve been calling him Rusty is still 👀 4 a new 🏡! He is off GrCh Dually and our girl Laila will be 16 weeks fully vaccinated, dewormed and microchipped.

Good read and perspective! Something to consider as a buyer.

"A woman once contacted me looking for a puppy. But she kept saying she was hesitant because the borzoi has such a short life span. I’ve had a few who have lived to be over 14 and a more recent one who died at under five months. I felt that she was not connected to reality and was probably not someone I needed to get involved with because there would always be some problem.

The problem is that when people pay you for a puppy, they act like they are buying a designer handbag or something. Authenticity, exclusivity, and that it will last forever and be in the Met. The reality is that it is a living, breathing being and it does not come with spare parts, any real guarantee as to what will happen to it or how long it will last. There is no expiration date.

Like all things with dogs, it is a gamble. You go to a show, it is a gamble. You breed a litter, it is a gamble. You place a puppy, it is a gamble. There is no way to know what will happen along the way.
I placed a puppy in a home I took a chance on. There wasn’t enough yard there but there was a huge park nearby and she went to work with her owner everyday. Never did we see a fungal infection in her future.

I placed a puppy in a home in Mexico at the beach. Perfect. Never in a million years did we think she could escape and while harassing pelicans on the cliff, it would give way and she would fall to her death.

How did that dog eat an entire box of fire starter cubes? What is really in those that blood was shooting out his butt? And then he was gone.

Not being a man and never having had male children, I had no idea testicles could torsion. Had I not shaved D’Argo down and got all that hair off of him I would have never noticed that giant shiny black ball under his tail.

I’ve always known how dangerous foxtails are. But you just don’t think about them all the time. Until your dog crashes and they show you the track on X-ray of that “foreign body” heading for his kidney.

I’m sure no one ever thinks about them smacking into each other. Or missing a turn and hitting a fence post. Pneumothorax or simply a broken neck.

And whatever had caused that intussusception was never found but it took out his whole gut all the same.

There are also the freak accidents. The coyote that ran across the trail and the dog who je**ed out of his owner’s hands. The driver just missed hitting the coyote and while watching it, he slammed right into the borzoi. Then there was the silly borzoi who ran out to do his borzoi dance in the middle of the busy street. He didn’t make it to the vet either. And then there was the borzoi I bred that took off through the only open gate at their local high school and their other borzoi ran after her. Again, the car just missed the first one, slammed right into the second one.

So when breeders offer you the chic # of their dog as if it is some sort of bulletproof guarantee that your little puppy is going to make it to 14 and still be able to hike and p*e and p**p on its own, please realize, that testing covers such a teeny tiny little piece of all the possible problems you might face along the way. We spend hundreds of dollars testing for stuff, less on structural analysis, but none of it will prepare you for the myriad ways the universe can take that puppy out.

As a breeder, I deal with up to ten times the number of deaths an individual will face. I have my own dogs and I have all of yours. I have all the ones someone else bred where my dog was used at stud. Each and every death I absorb. Each heartbreak of yours I carry with me. Each litter that doesn’t happen, hopes dashed. Each neonate that doesn’t make it. I have a deep well of sadness. It is so deep I can no longer see the bottom.

What they die from and when, we cannot possibly know that. And if all this testing proved something, it would be that it doesn’t mean what you think because we have to keep testing. It is a way to track trends over time. It is no guarantee for your puppy. And really, since we have yet for one to die of thyroid or heart issues or be born blind or lose their eyesight, of fall down at four or five from degenerative disease, I’m not sure that I can make you any guarantee other than this is a living breathing bundle of love and you will have it for as long as you have it and not a second more."

Big shout out to for raising this boy and putting him in the show ring where he has already earned his Champion title! Also s/o to for producing him and trusting in myself and to keep this boy on the right tract. This boy Ch. Manuia’s Night’s Watch aka Snow is son to boy GrCh Primoline’s Just Goin’ For It aka Dually who we also used recently here in our program with our girl Laila. We have patiently been creating pieces to the puzzle in hopes to create a GrCh XL that actually embodies what the XL American Bully should be. My plans are still a generation or two out but we are headed in the right direction. Stay tuned we have some nice pairings coming up.

2 hour ride in the AM for the puppies haircut. But I’m excited I generally leave it up to the customer to do it. But I figured I would give it go this litter.
