Hi Tamra. Where in Upstate NY are your kennels? We live near Ft. Drum/Watertown (North Country - NY). In the past 2 years, we have lost 2 of our beloved Rotties; we are heartsick without them. Reily, was our first precious Rottie, whom we raised from 6 weeks of age until we lost him at age 11 just last month due to bloat (as a complication of his severe IBD condition that he had developed and we had been battling over the course of this past year). Just prior to this, we had unexpectedly lost our angel, Macy, to an inoperable spinal tumor at the young age of 4. We recently adopted our third Rottie about 6 months ago, Zena (a spunky 2-year-old), to give us some additional companionship in the event we were not successful in restoring Reily's health because we cannot bear to be without Rotties in our Life. Zena misses Reily's companionship terribly (as do we) and we are now interested in finding Zena a male puppy to keep her (& us occupied) in the wake of our tragic losses. We discussed getting another rescue, but we feel that a puppy would better blend into our family at this time. We consider our Rotties as family members and they travel with us everywhere. We loved raising Reily from puppyhood and the pics of your Rotties look very much like the handsome guy that he was. Do you have any puppies available at this time or in the near future? Please advise at your earliest convenience. Thank you.
