Cocker Spaniel pups

Hi,
My Grandmother has wanted a male tri-coloured Cocker spaniel pup for years.So I decided about 6 months ago we would look for a breeder. I found a perfect breeder in our area and we contacted her shes bred cockers for 20 yrs and looked really credible and still is. She said she wouldn't haev pups for a while, but she'd put us on her waiting list. Well about 3 weeks ago she called and said puppies would be born Oct 31/04 YAY! we were so excited and on the 29 she called and they were born 3 boys and 4 girls. We said we wanted a male a while ago and were thrilled there would be more then one male to pick form and we were first on her waiting list YAHOOO!!! well she just called all the males and one of the females died. We are pretty upset right now. She gave us the number for another breeder and said we could have a female if we wanted, but we really want a male we will hafta think about what we decide to do :(... Please pray for the breeder, the Momma dog and the rest of her pups.

p.s
This was an accidental breeding we found out because the parents were so young she thought nothing would happen.
