I took it and emailed Janet who runs Akbash Rescue where the two male pups are listed. Emailing is always the first step towards the no-looking back step! Of the litter of 5 that I saw listed, 3 are long hair Akbash's that went to the foster family in the Tri-Cities. The other two males from the litter are short hairs that Janet has placed in foster in Oregon. Evidently they are the second litter from the same parents who are owned by an Oregon rancher. Neither his Akbash nor his Maremma are fixed obviously, but the two involved rescue organizations told him he would have to fix the female this time as they will not continue to place his litters. Thank god as LGD's are difficult breeds to place even in the best of circumstances.
Janet is a lovely lady very dedicated to the breed. The pups will be given temperament tests soon so we will have a better idea of what their personalities will be like. Read Janet's blog, http://akbashrescue.blogspot.com/ for more info' on the work she does. She also has a gorgeous adult male, Bear, who is currently in foster and looking for a home. I would be tempted to take Bear but I suspect that introducing an adult male into my house might cause some problems with the polar bear. Plus, Bear is in California so it's not like I would have the luxury of trying it out.
I guess this means it's time to go look for a job closer to the boonies and a house to go with it!

I am strong. I won't even click on your link to see puppy pictures.
Not that puppy pictures affect me. NOT. AT.ALL. Nope.
Actually, there are no puppy pics on her blog yet. There are lots of pics of other Akbash's she has rehomed though and the adult male she is looking to rehome. Come on, you can do it :)
Puppies are cute... but I have will power with puppies. Couple months ago when I transported some puppies, they were so cute and had puppy breath. Nothing better than puppy breath. But then ... they cried - no, screamed - the entire trip, one pooped in its crate, and they were naughty! Don't think I have the energy for puppies - lol.
Now Bear on that rescue website - he tests my will power. He's a handsome boy. I look at Bear and I swear he says "you know you want me"... and the answer would be YES!
You and that damn Petfinder when you are home with an injury! I think you need to resist until you are back up and functional (no pain meds) and then reconsider. And in the mean time I recommend an intervention over breakfast with me!
Zyra says she would like a big brother! I think Bear would make a fantastic addition to your zoo!
TG - We can try for an intervention but it's not looking hopeful! I can't drive yet and I fall asleep in the middle of everything but as soon as I am better company, let's do breakfast.
