Litter Announcement: Noodle + Spudgie

I have alluded here and there to the fact that we are planning our first litter of Tibetan Mastiff Puppies.  I'm here to make it official.

:-)

The breeding should occur in October with puppies expected around Christmas-time.  Puppies will be sent to approved homes after 9-weeks of age.

If you are a regular reader here, you know that Noodle is one of our first girls, is a great protector of our alpacas and a very funny, very important member of our family.

Tibetan Mastiffs are working dogs that do best by also having a lot of family interaction.  These are extremely intelligent, social and athletic dogs.

We are very excited to begin our adventure into dog breeding.  :-)
