My husband and I are looking to get an English Mastiff no earlier than Spring of 2014. We are getting preparations in order now so we can offer our new family member the best possible home.
My question for you is when should we start contacting breeders?
I know that many breeders plan their litters pretty far in advance and in some circumstances all puppies are accounted for before they are even born. We do not mind waiting for the right pup, however, I don't want to put off the puppy applications until the last minute. How soon is too soon? There are 2-3 breeders that I am very interested in at the moment and as far as I know, none of them have intentions to have any more scheduled breedings this year(which is great for me). One of them isn't entirely sure that they will be doing any more breedings with their female.
Should I go ahead and start submitting applications now, or wait a few more months?
