Dale's breeder called us today. Totally unexpected. I had called him yesterday about that male Swissie that I had told you about, and he told me yesterday that he was already spoken for....

So today, he found out about a 2 year old female Greater Swiss, already housetrained, and supposedly has a great temperment. She just had a litter of mixed puppies (lab/swissie), and he is rescueing her and her pups. So he called me to ask if i might be interested (since i had just called him yesterday about the other Swissie)...i am definately interested. And we are infact going to a Swissie event in May, that he (the breeder) will be at also, so he is going to bring her for us to meet...we will have Dale and Christian.

Being that she is a large dog, she will have to have a great temperment and impress both my husband and I, in order to adopt her, b/c of Christian, mainly. I know Dale will love having a companion, but Christian is my ultimate concern, and she has to be able to tolerate kids well...so we will see, we will be able to spend the whole day with her at the event to get a good feel for her.

We are moving in with my in laws for 2-3 months, while our house is being built, so Dale will be enough for their cocker spaniel to handle...so if all goes well, and we end up adopting her, then we will pick her up in August (the breeder will keep her for us until then)...b/c i can't expect my in laws to not only have Dale and my 2 cats come into their house, but another BIG dog too, would stress their cocker spaniel out...

So, time will tell, i will keep you all updated...

I am not going to rush getting Dale a companion doggie, if this works out, then it was meant to be, and if it doesnt, then we will wait until the right pup does come along.

I don't know much about her background, as i find out, i will tell you...

This is exciting!!

We already have a name picked out, if we end up with her... Time will tell The event that we are going to, when we get to meet her, is May 7th...so i should know better by then...
