So, Laura and I are talking tonight to figure out what to do now. So many things to think about. As I mentioned above, she's breeding one of her girls (Super's sister) to a boy named Cowboy from R3 Mastiffs (related to Rainy Day Mastiffs). Here's Cowboy:

He's a really good looking boy. This is a repeat breeding from a few months ago. They unfortunately only had one pup, a boy in the last breeding, but he's really cute. I could get on the list for this breeding.
My problem is that I just love the look of Judah. I like that really big boned, wrinkly faced, old english mastiff look. Cowboy looks great, but he's definitely more of that lean athletic look.
So if I want to stick it out for Judah, she's planning to try Super and Judah one more time when she comes back into heat. I could hold out and keep my place (or potential move up in place if others leave) for the next time they breed, hoping once again that it's successful and there are enough boys.
Anyone know how long it takes for a female to come back into heat after a lost pregnancy?
Other option is that it sounds like she's going to stud Judah out a few times this year. I could look into those breedings. I have no infomation on them yet, so I can't do any research on the females, the breeders, the timing, or the cost.
Or, lastly I could ask for my deposit back and try to find someone who either has pups on the ground, or pups coming very soon.
We were really hoping to have a pup this summer. Definitely want to try to avoid bringing one home once the rainy season starts in the late fall. Potty training in the rain would suck.
