You are welcome.

 

By the way Dapo I wasn't inferring in the least that you were in any way spreading the rumor about this.  You stated clearly with your statement about what you'd heard that the source was unsubstantiated for which I respect you greatly for.  Just a few extra works for clarification can make all the difference and I'm afraid I left a few words out when I presented the information.

 

I was very glad myself to find the news of his well-being.  Nasir will always hold a special place in my heart for without his behavior issues and his being on the Dog Whisperer I don't know if I would've ever heard of the Boerboel breed.  I am strongly considering naming my puppy Nasir should his personality match the name.  I very much like the name.  I will give my dog an African name for sure befitting his more than regal heritage.  Africa I'm afraid has been a passion of mine since birth and maybe my love for the continent of Africa is one of the main reasons why I am so drawn to the Boerboel.  I will visit Africa one day.  It has been my lifes dream and one day I will go there.

 

Regards,

Cheryl

Cheryl,   That's really good work on your part and it will give me immense pleasure and closure to forward this with your permisssion to the source that was banding this rumour about. Thanks for your sterling effort.You have done what I would have expected all reasonable people to do including myself before believing the hype (to verify)..... Thanks for sharing this.
