I write this as I sit here waiting and watching for my Tatra, Bella to whelp a litter of puppies any day now. I remember visiting your place 2 years ago and how nice your dogs were to me. I have great respect for these working breeds. They can be very misunderstood and it takes a special owner to bring out the best in them. I believe you were that owner for Alpha. Your photos of her are wonderful. She was a lucky dog to live with you!<br />Donna Ggnuhampshirefarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12275891640130648376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29975254.post-81241239649953759752009-06-02T00:54:39.790-04:002009-06-02T00:54:39.790-04:00So sorry, Stephen.
