After weeks of consideration, and more weeks of researching, I have decided for Christmas that i want to buy my 7 year old son a dog. He has always wanted one, but i was always afraid of getting one and it end up hurting him. So, i managed to hold him off until now. The researching led me to decide that a Mastiff would be the perfect dog for my son. Jalen LOVES having the feeling of being loved and having someone to love, and from what ive learned, a Mastiff loves to love! He's an only child, and desperately wants a "Best Friend that he can take everywhere". I also believe that a mastiff would be perfect in teaching him responsibility, but not to the extreme. I have a decent size home, but much of nothing for a yard-so its a good thing that Mastiffs dont require a lot of exercise.
The problem----Im a single mother, theres no way in heck i could afford $1500 for a dog I have seen many breeders offer discounted female puppies for $700-$900 (which is more in my price range) as long as they can breed and show (i have no intention on breeding or showing, so they can show and breed all they want), BUT, they all require you to live within 2-3 hours of the kennel. I have found none even remotely close to my home (Indianapolis).
So, my question is, are there ANY breeders out there that could help me in regards to the price of their puppies? I know that a lot of time, money and love goes into breeding, and i absolutely agree that the puppies are worth every bit of the money you charge, probably even more, but i would NEVER be able to afford full price. You can have all the showing and breeding rights you want, as long as Jalen gets his "Best Friend".
Thank you for listening! I hope theres someone out there who can help!
