Oh my, another surprise. Ryleigh is just as sweet as she can be. How nice that the breeder was willing to spend so much time with you helping you to make your final decision (it is final? :p) That is a good sign that she will be there for you if you need post purchase help too.
We understand about the color preferences too. When I *fell in love* with a neighbor's white cockapoo, I knew that I wanted one just like her; however there were no white puppies in the litter when she had her pups. My little black puppy turned out to be a dog of a lifetime and her own daughter another much loved black little girl. But when the time came to mend my broken heart from losing my first girl after fourteen years, I found that white cockapoo I'd always wanted and her adopted brother was *color coordinated*, one of the traits that made me decide on taking him instead of searching for another girl (which I was looking for). Yet the love that I knew from those little black faces has made me wonder, should my life provide another opportunity to shelter one more canine, I wonder.....
