Our Matilda's over 9 months young now. Grabbed a backyard porch shot late yesterday as I walked in.. she was waiting for me of course And this is why I picked "Matilda" (Mattie) for her name..
The Germanic name Mahthildis meaning "strength in battle", from the elements maht "might, strength" and hild "battle". Saint Matilda was the wife of the 10th-century German king Henry I the Fowler. The name was brought to England by the Normans, being borne by the wife of William the Conqueror himself.

What a beautiful dog!! I'm not sure I'd want to meet her in a dark alley with a look like that on her face
These are marvelous dogs- mine is two now and I couldn't love her more. Mattie looks like she will be a big girl, and what a lovely expression. May you and Mattie enjoy many wonderful years together.
