Thanks for everyones responses! Its been
helpful. I have asked my mother by the
way , if she would prefer a RED male, or
an apricot Female, the only two available
pups in the litter. She said the red
male for sure, since alot of breeders that
she and I have both talked to assured us
that her males have always been sweeter than
her girls. So, she wanted the red color
bad enough that she would take a chance on the male pup. BUT, when she called me
back a few hours later to ask how old the
puppy was, I told her that I had talked
to the breeder and that it was sold the
previous night, sorry. (It was me of
course) So I had to get very specific with
her to make her commit to which one would
be better, and then tell her a little white
lie to still surprise her. Hope that its
the right choice, we will see. Thanks
again for everyones input..
