My breeder just emailed me about the appointment dates to see the pups. We (the future owners) are going to visit the pups when they are 4 weeks, then again whent hey are 8, and we can visit anytime in between too.
Well they are 4 weeks now so she emailed me to tell me that the appointments are being set up now. She's srooy for the delay etc... etc...
Here is a quote from the email:
"We will begin inviting people out soon. It's just because of the temperature and also that most people can only come on weekends and that we are gone on weekends that we haven't yet. Also because Story had so few puppies, we don't want anyone getting too attached until we are able to see how many show puppies versus pet puppies we have, as we have several show homes lined up. The good news for any pet/performance people who don't get a puppy from this litter, Kandi's litter is due July 10."
I'm not sure if I misunderstood her or just got too anxious or what but it almost sounds as if she may be beating around the bush & thinks that both males have greaat potential at becoming a show dog. Don't get me wrong thats fine with me, I have first pick out of a pet/performance pup & knew that I may have to wait. But on another note when I first put the deposit down she seemed like no one really had any dibs on a male show dog so that I may have first pick no matter what, because my breeder is about at her limit & unless the perfect show dog came up she would just find a pet home for that one(s).
And believe me you I understand that she has to be this way to be a good breeder but I was also hoping to get my puppy early in the summer so I can complete at least a socialization class & what not before the bad winter weather comes & my driving is limited.
So in a way I'm happy that she may have a lot of show pups out of the litter but In a way I am also disappointed that I may have to wait longer for my pup.
I knew about this before I got my pup but because the breeder told me that I have an awesome chance of getting one out of this litter and I had my hopes up makes me feel disappointed.
But in a way I am kind of happy, I like Kandi's (the mother to be) attitude better, she's got a lot of herding instinct in her & is hyper. I want a crazy dog. I just don't want to wait. lol
I'm not really asking for anything I just had to get that out. lol
