Vet called me this morning, another emergancy, for a blood transfusion. We were on our way to the vets with Nube as she was sick and had to go back and pick up Canela. Canela did a blood transfusion to try and save another poor little dogs life. They do an analisis first to see she is in good health then take the blood if she has a fit bill of health. This time I asked about blood types. The first time isn't necessary to be the same type, but if they need more transfusions they then have to look for the same type.
fingers xd the dog pulls through.

Just looked at the updated pics of the puppies still available from Lois in Wisconsin (www.fallcreekfarm.net) and so surprised that there are not
buyers in the U.S. for these wonderful pups. If I didn't already have two of my own, one of those puppies would be coming to my house for sure!!!

great news, we took Milo to Granada to have his displacia test done, and the vet said he has never seen a displacia xray that good in a large breed in the whole time he has been a vet! Now the disc gets sent to Leon, where we will await the results of the grading from them. His hips are fantastic! so we are over the moon!!!!

Hi, all you have to do is .... join facebook and put in mastin español or mastin espanol and the page will come up, then join the group. I have no idea what the link is sorry!!! not too computer lit!!!

.
Say, Tracey, instead of repeating your invitation you'd better gave us the web-address.
I think it was http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=38434681832 ??

Tenemos un grupo en facebook ... mastin español, lo mas gente lo mejor, apuntate y a juntar con el grupo!

we have a group in facebook mastin español mastin espanol for those without ñ!!! come and join , the more the merrier!!

I am so happy to say that so far 6 of the 11 puppies from Delilah and Moses's litter are in working homes!!! Isn't that wonderful?? Of course, everyone is also allowing their pups in the house too to be part of the family, so the puppies and their owners are getting the best of both worlds, a wonderful companion and a pup with great working potential!

Sally,
!De nada! you're very welcome. And thankyou very much for putting the photos on for all the mastin español viewers and owners. And that was also very sweet of you to put my photo up here at the top of the page! I feel very privilaged! I will be going to Leon in August so I will make sure I take loads of photos of that monographic, and also to the Alicante one too at the end of the yr. so expect more more more!! haha
take care, don't work too hard either ok
saludos y besitos Tracey.

Thanks for telling the 'story' about your kennel name, Tracey...
Great kennel name - and great story
About your albums in the gallery - I will email you
Abrazos de Sally

one more thing, our name MASTALAYA has a story to it... we live in a town called Torrenueva which in spanish is new tower. In the town there is an Atalaya which is an arabic lookout tower which was used for guarding against oncoming enemy. As everyone knows mastins are herd guard dogs, guarding and watching the herds against predators like wolves. So the idea was take the MAS from mastin, and TALAYA from ATALAYA, keeping a bit of the arabic culture from Granada and also from the name of the breed and with the air of "guarding" in the significance of the name... quite poetic don't you think ? well we love the name and are glad it came back as it was our first choice. It will take us yrs to become known but we are only going to be very little , nothing like the big breeders, only a few dogs. well there you go!! chow for now!!

Hi Sally, it would have been great to have met you in person, maybe another occasion! yes it would be great to have more shows there, its so beautiful where they had it. Yes we now have an afijo we got it back a couple of weeks ago. But it will be a while before we have pups! I have a question about the files, I seem to have one for kiwiespañol , one for milo etc and now for mastalya, can you tell me how I can put them all togther? when you have the time of course to explain to me. I am not very good with computers!! well un beso!
Tracey

Hi Tracey,
I wish I could have travelled to Velez Benaudalla this year...
In Barrios de Luna 08 I actualy said to some of the breeders from the South, that I would plan to come, if possible...
Unfortunately I could not go...but if AEPME plans to make a monográfico in the South of Spain next year too - I will try to make it

Another thing...I just saw your latest photos updated to the mastín gallery...have you registered the kennel name MASTALAYA
Well, I already added you to the breeders in the gallery
Abrazos de Sally

I hope that the AEPME will repeat the show in Velez Benaudalla in Granada every year, for us mastineros here in the south of Spain,the site is perfect and its also fair to us southerners to have a monographic down our end of the woods, since most are up in the North of Spain. So fingers xd!!! it would be great for us. Also it was wonderful to get to meet some of the best breeders in the country and for them to be so nice with us unknowns! really was a wonderful atmosphere without pretensions. P.s suzkwitz, I took another amazing head shot of Milo, with natalie and the river, you didn't think I could aye? haha xxx

ok, I have taken loads of photos, when I can I will load them for everyone ok, still waiting on my computer! Isabel and her hubby are wonderful and are now part of the fam along with the pups, muga, branko and sarko, adorable!! we are going to go to more shows with them and have become great friends. Jose L,Moncada said the standard and quality of the mastins in the show was of very high standard, and was honered to judge such beautiful examples.

Hola, Tracey. ...AHA !! ... So finally XYZ is exposed ! And who would have guessed that it is Isabel. Yeah, who would ... It is easy to convince me that it was a great day; I'm sure it was !
I'm looking forward to your pictures. Even with delay. (Also because I have a bad feeling about the availability of the pics on the AEPME-website). I have seen Nube in your "Gallery"-portfolio (even saw her "show-pose", but I prefer her "the natural way")and Muy Buena was the least the judge could do.
Regarding that "blabbing" => it's called a chatbox, so: make yourself at home ...!!
Cheers !

Hi , sukewitz! ok I have to buy a new portable computer because mine has broken , as soon as I get it sorted will load photos, My Milo (Onega de Campollano) came 4th excellant in young males machos jovenes. Nube (pedigree name is Linda) got in very female puppys the muy buena which is very good, maximum mark, she went in with her brother and sisters in grupo de cria and they came second. I will post photos as soon as my computer is sorted. It was a great time, loads of wonderful beautiful dogs of high standard and quality, a lovely beautiful site right by the river with trees to shade the dogs, and the atmosphere was wonderful, the people were so friendly and we got to meet some of the best breeders who were all really nice. I really enjoyed myself. My friend Isabel from Alicante took three pups she is XYZ here and they stayed with us for the whole weekend, we had a lovely time. I could blab on forever" haha
chow 4 now!!!

... ... Emeh, Tracey ... of course you understand that we expect a comprehensive photo-report of this upcoming monográfico ,eh ..., monografica, eh ... event ...?!

Hola todos, recordando la gente que esta Sabado 4 de Abril es la primera monografica mastin español en Velez Benaudalla en la costa de Granada. Nos veremos alli!! Just reminding everyone that this Saturday is the first monografic for Spanish Mastin in Velez Benaudalla on the Granada Coast, see you there!
saludos and regards Kiwiespañola!!

Thanks Lori, I sure have been impressed by their temperaments and personalities! Nothing seems to startle them and they are just fearless!
Not that I'm biased or anything LOL!

Personal testimony that the puppies from FallCreekFarm.net
are adorable... more than an hour of puppy-snuggling yesterday afternoon in Wisconsin and there's not a pup in that litter I wouldn't take!!!

Hi Sally, I took some photos with the lowest quality 640x480 and was able to load that photo on. Tell the spanish person que tiene que sacar fotos con menos calidad, asi se puede poner las fotos. There is one photo I really want to put on with me and Natalie and Nube which is in higher quality, I will send that one to you to see if you can load it on. I will take some more photos with the next quality up to see if they are able to be loaded aswell , will give it a try who knows!! I had the photos on the highest quality before maybe the megapix were too big to be loaded.
will let you know xx
Thanks heaps again !!!
un besito xxxx

Hi Tracey,
Yes, okay, but please send me one of the photos that you could NOT upload....(sally@mastininfo.com)
I really would like to find out why you - and the Spanish member could not add photos.
I do not think it is 'a must' to take photos with the lowest quality... I have seen quite large photos uploaded...
I will try to find out about the problem this weekend. Just one more day of work tomorrow - and then a nice weekend to enjoy

Abrazos de Sally

Hi Sally, I will take some more photos with the lowest quality on my camera and try and upload them to see what happens ok, will let you know what happens!
thanks heaps again!
besitos Tracey!!
