I think you made a good decision, especially since you made it based on(mostly) what is best for Rose.

I know exactly what you mean though.

I didn't have a chance to connect with Jasper right away, as he was in another province(your province ), I watched him get bottle fed on webcam, and watched him playing with a bullmastiff, and chasing other dogs, all on webcam, and I was in love with him just with those little daily videos of him growing! But it was SO hard not to be able to reach in and grab him

I agree with Kay, you should just go shearch the shelters/rescues..etc, I have decided to do the same with my next dog, instead of another breeder like I was going to do.

Im sure you'll find a dog perfect for you
