I really like that upcoming breeding with Falcon.
1) Falcon was a pretty inconsistent stud -- the best were great, the worst were not. His dad (Zech) and his uncle (Jed) were more consistent studs. The Napotniks would agree with this. Personally, I think his "magic" comes through his daughters more so than his sons ... but, that's my personal opinion -- lots of smart people will disagree with me, I'm sure.
2) I've seen quite a bit of the dam's mother's full sister. I don't know much about the dam or her mother other than what I've seen online.
3) I expect that, if the litter is a reasonable size, it will have at least a couple of really nice pups ... assuming it takes.
I am a big Greiner Hall fan for putting bone, heads and depth on Mastiff.
The Napotniks (Greiner Hall) did a great thing in preserving those traits for the next generation of fanciers and breeders.
She has more dogs than I would personally have, but if they are all kept well I see nothing wrong with that.

She has many more dogs than I'd feel comfortable with, too. But, then again, she doesn't have young kids at home, etc.
She has nice dogs and has done some nice breedings. While she breeds more litters than many others do, there is a place in all breeds for well-thought-out breedings. I see this as a well-thought-out breeding.
Good luck to her and all those who are looking for a pup out of this litter. It should be wayyyy oversubscribed.
