Dixie, I hope you are not in for a problem with this breeder, I would hate for you to pin your hopes on this lady and I hope she is not looking for the highest bidder in the end. I think Bob will be ready for a pup before long, as Logan says it does help to heal the hurt of losing one you love so much. It kind of takes your mind off your sorrow and busy thinking what you can do with your new pup.
I hope you have good luck with these pups.
Jackie
