| Do you keep in contact with your breeder? Layla's birthday was last monday and i emailed her breeder with some pictures. I tend to do this 3-4 times a year.. just letting her know how vet visits go or to send a Christmas picture. I recently asked if i could see pictures of her litter mates to which she said, the other two owners dont' keep in touch. I was shocked. I guess my thought is, they spend so much love and time and money on these little guys, they shoudl know how things are going. Well needless to say she loves to hear from us so the question is, if you bought from a breeder, do you still keep in touch? |

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | i picked 'not at all' but i should have picked 'at first but not anymore'. when i first got morgan i would still talk with the breeder all the time through emails. ...then circumstances changed. wish things could be different

| I see Lucy's breeders all the time. They have become friends and I go over to visit them with Lucy a couple of times a month. Just visited on Friday as a matter of fact The day I had Lucy spayed I came to visit that evening and there was Andrew. He had no idea I was going to be there at that time but knew Lucy was being spayed because my vet called him about her chip. He had stopped by to check on her and from that day I knew for sure they were people I would like to keep in touch with.

| i am in regular contact with all my buyers except the first puppy I sold and she has dropped out of sight. I also sold one here on Yt that I am uncomfortable about since I haven't heard from her for awhile. i always think something has happened to my babies when i don't hear . |

| I do with Milli's breeder, Martha-she is a YT member now (Francis53) Martha is WONDERFUL and always so sweet and interested in what's new with Milli-we compare notes on our dogs and I love hearing about her new litters Emma's breeder is another story-I don't keep in contact with her-I tried to at first, but she wasn't really interested. To make things worse, we contacted her when we were looking for a second yorkie, and there were several red flags going up in the conversations I had with her. If I knew then what I know now, I would have asked more educated questions about her and her breeding practices. But, I'm happy with Emma, and I wouldn't trade her for anything

| I wrote a letter and sent pictures of Lacy to her breeder when Lacy was a year old to let her know how she was doing. I included my e-mail address. She e-mailed me back and thanked me and that was the last I heard from her. I can't remember her e-mail address anymore, although I do have her address and phone number. I don't think she really cares anyway...Lacy was a gift...if she cared, she would have been more careful about who Lacy ended up with. Lacy's lucky she got me I plan to keep in touch with any future breeders though. I keep in touch with my younger cat's breeder..in fact I'm going to e-mail her Easter pics of Sophie soon and give her an update. It's important to me that a breeder cares enough and wants to be kept in touch with.

| I just sent Coby's breeder a picture of him for his 1 year birthday!! It was good timing bcause she was sad because Coby's mom just had to have a c-section and will retire. She kept Coby overnight one weekend once. She said he was the best little "gentleman" she had ever seen. So I try to keep in contact in case I need an overnight!!

In fact...she has a new litter of Biewer puppies I'm just going to have to go see this week! I know...but...somebody's got to do it! |
