A bull & her horn

Marilyn De Cair, a top Bullmastiff breeder in Southern California, was concerned when Dr. Pearson, DVM, requested that a staff technician escort her from the waiting room to join her bitch in surgery. 
 Thankfully, Marilyn's sedated bitch, Ch. EverTrue Bullmastiffs' Witchy, was safe, however, Dr. Pearson discovered something rare and unusual and wanted to show  the anomaly to Marilyn.  The two women stood aghast over Witchy, as they observed her reproductive tract. Whitchy had only one horn!  Dr. Pearson continued with the surgical insemination; gently putting thawed semen into the one, lonely horn. 

Dr. Pearson has worked closely with Carol and the Canine Cryobank team for over a decade, and is a leader in surgical artificial inseminations.  But we all knew the odds for success were slim. So at 28 days after Witchy's AI, when ultrasound showed  that she was pregnant with three  pups, everyone got a little teary.  Sometimes, if puppies are destined to be born, nothing stops them.  We are happy to report that the puppies have since been delivered and are healthy, hearty little rascals!
