We have bred Penelope Degli Alleri to Lucca Gambino of the Oaks and Boris Di Mastin Jundai. Penelope you know comes from Virgilio and the gang in Italy Daughter of JR CH Commandatore Degli Alleri and Marchesinia Degli Alleri ( Sister to Finalmente that gorgeous blonde ), Lucca everyone ( or most ) knows comes from CH Sergio of the Oaks, our breeds first akc ch, Eukanuba BOB and also national specialty winner. Boris was imported from Brazil, carries such dogs as Nazional and Circe behind him. I think pups will be excellent from the breeding, it will be an outcross on both males, for those of you looking for temperament the boris and penelope pups should be hot hot hot !!
Boris at a little under 2 years, big strong boy at 189 ( I think a little lighter now )
Lucca who I really like as well
and a winter pic of penelope since I am too lazy to go out and take some right now , does not do her justice what so ever but hey its all I got about now, plus maybe it will shame me into taking new ones
This will be a dna litter but I can tell you that Lucca and Penelope's pups will all be tawny while Boris and Penelope can throw all 4 colors. All AI's went excellent, sperm counts were great and everything looks good, we will be doing the final AI tonight and then just the waiting.............So everyone cross fingers and we will know in about 25 days !!!
WOW!!!!! Way to go Heidi!!!!! I had no idea..........very nice girlfriend!!!!!!!! I will be keeping everything crossed for you and the gang!!! Hugs to them all and to Lucca G!!
Congrats and best of luck with this breeding Heidi. I've heard great things about Penelope's temp and stealth-like movement...quite the protector, lol. Anthony
LOL Lori I have started to email you I dont know how many times, then thought crap no I will wait and confirm so I dont jinx myself, but then went no I am letting the cat out of the bag
Lucca has a awesome Temp, but if someone is looking for old school mastino temp penelope and boris should produce spectacular babies, brains , temperament and type should be produced by both boys with her.
LOL John penelope and lucca are both tawny, so only tawny to be expected from them
Boris ( black ) should carry for color, if he does then I can get all 4 colors from him and penelope, if he doesnt then only gray and black but those pups should carry for it. Basically if all pups are gray,black or mahogany they can only be boris babies, now if there is tawny then they could be boris or lucca babies, so anything other then tawny I will know instantly who they belong to but I am hoping for a crapload of tawny alng with the others that way 2 breedings wrapped into one !! Heidi
Finalmente is one of my favorites ! good luck! Sincerely Melinda Carver
