Lars x Gracie

After much deliberation and advice from trusted sources, we decided to breed Gracie a second time and keep a pick puppy girl for future showing and breeding possibilities. We looked far and wide at a number of wonderful studs and found exactly what we were looking for right in our own WA backyard.

Intl.Am.Can.Ch Stellar Enter Sandman RN "Lars" is a beautiful representative of years of selective breeding by Louise Roland who has produced many dogs with multiple championships that also have achieved health awards proving you can have type without compromising the health of your stock. Go here to see Lars' Page.

You can see more of Lars and Louise's other top dogs at Stellar Mastiffs.

Lars is co-owned by Jeremy Moore and he is actively working as Jeremy's service dog and constant companion. Jeremy has done a beautiful job training Lars and putting his Rally title on him after his conformation Championships were achieved. Kudos to this winning team!

Gracie whelped eight puppies via c-section on Feb 14, 2007. She had 7 boys and ONE girl. I guess our decision was made for us on who we were keeping. We're not the least bit disappointed, however, she is beautiful inside and out.

All puppies were robust and healthy right from the start. Once again, we're very thankful to Dr Perger and staff for the excellent care they gave to Gracie and the newborns. Thanks, also, to Louise and Bill Roland for flying over to help with the delivery and settling in. Bill was our official photographer for the whelping and Louise kept an eye on the status of the pups while I stayed with Gracie in the operating room.

We have now temporarily named the puppies to give them (and us) a sense of individuality instead of pack mentality. These names will be changed when they go to their new homes, but, nonetheless, we enjoy it much more than puppy 1, 2, 3. Lara's name, of course, will remain the same since she is staying right here.
