Finally, we did it.
We contacted the breeder nearest to us, and scheduled a time to visit; that day was Monday (Oct. 8). Though it was quite a long drive, it was worth it! The minute we stepped in the door, we were greeted by a bunch of yapping, tail-wagging Italian Greyhounds.
Even my father, who has been the skeptic about this- and pretty much unwilling to get a dog- really liked these dogs.
We sat down and immediately the dogs were bounding around, jumping up next to us, and licking at our faces. At that point, I was ready to take one home.
We asked questions about the breed, and the answers we were given were really interesting. The breeder was the owner of the mother. The mother was adorable! She was always leaping up onto the sofa and licking at my face.
We were about ready to go later on, and we were definitely interested.
So the pups will be born on December 1 and we'll be getting one around February 1.
We can't wait!
