CERF, PennHip, OFA hips (Good), OFA elbow normal, OFA heart clear,
Thyroid normal, PRA clear by DNA.
Grace developed open pyometria, an
infection of the uterus, and was spayed on an emergency basis on January
16th, 2008. She has recovered quite well and we hope that she spends many more
years with us enjoying her retirement. She is an awesome dog and has
given us much love and joy over the years, including 26 puppies, from 3
different litters, for many to enjoy.

Bear was born June 3rd 2005.
Bear injured his elbow and required surgery. Elbow dysplasia could not
be ruled out but - it is usually present in both elbows when genetic.
Bear's other elbow is fine. Because of the possibility of this being
genetic Bear has been neutered and will not be bred. He will remain with
our family as he is a fine example of the Mastiff temperament - he is a
true gentle giant.

Lothar (Bubba)
Born: September 14th, 2006.
Testing: PRA clear by parentage, CERF, her hip and elbow testing was not
optimal for breeding. Luna had an ACL tear and repair at 18 months old
and her joints are probably not optimal due to this added stress to her
system. Luna was spayed and has been placed in a great new home where
she will get lots of love and attention.

CERF, OFA elbow normal, Thyroid normal, Von
Willebrand's normal, OFA Heart. Unfortunately Page has hip dysplasia by both
PennHip and OFA so she will not be bred. She is showing no signs at all of any
hip problems and we were shocked with the results - but both PennHip and OFA
agree. Page is an awesome dog. Page was placed in a new home and is really
enjoying her new family.

Kate was born June 30th, 2004.
Kate developed pyometria and had to be spayed. She will
not be having any puppies. We will be placing Kate in a new home as she
is a wonderful dog and will make someone very happy.

Augustus
PRA clear by parentage, CERF, OFA elbow, OFA thyroid. Her hips were done
by OFA and PennHip but were slightly loose - she came into heat right after they
were x-rayed. We would have had them re-done but she developed pyometria.
Kate was placed in a new home and is really enjoying her new family.

Oscar in his new home - May 2008 |
Sire: Day Dream Acres Wish Upon A Star (Yogi)
Dam: Millridge Daisy Mae
Born October 31st, 2005.
PennHip Clear, OFA Heart, OFA Thyroid, Prelim OFA elbows normal. Oscar did not pass CERF as he has intermediate cataracts on both eyes. We are not sure if this was nutritional - one of 16 puppies, or if it is genetic. This should not affect his vision. We are not going to breed him. Oscar has been neutered and is enjoying his retirement. Oscar is one of everyone's favourites when they come to visit.
It was really a difficult decision for us to make to place Oscar in a new home - he was one of our most favourite Mastiffs ever. He was still very interested when the girls came into heat so we could not chance a fight with him and our two breeding males over the girls. Oscar is really enjoying all of his attention with his new family.
