Cole just came to me, climbed into my lap, and asked for his very own puppy. It's kind of bittersweet, since he actually had his own puppy, Ripken (APBT), but he an autoimmune masticatory myositis, as well as testing + on an ANA test for Lupus (run at LSU), and he had to be euthanized weeks before his first birthday.
So now I have a sad Cole, and I'm not sure what to do.
I know I've asked for Fila breed recommendations on here a while back, but I'd like to get some current ones. I'd like to start communicating with them, and see about getting on a list for a puppy some time late this year or early next year. So please share!
Hubby is adamant about not getting a dog at the moment, and honestly, we still have a lot going on. So we're going to make some travel plans for the next few months, and see if we can get in our visits to family members now, and open the door for acquiring a puppy in the future.
And the other point of contention: Hubby wants an English Bulldog or English Mastiff. While I like both breeds ok, I have yet to find a responsible breeder of either breed (as in actually health tests, especially those walking disasters of Bulldogs). If y'all have any recommendations for either or those, I'll gladly take them as well. It may just be that we have to get two puppies. opcorn:
