I love keeping in touch! The Mastiff puppy I'm getting in May is coming from such a wonderful breeder, and I email her at least 2 or 3 times a week, we talk on the phone, etc. I know it will continue after that, as she loves every single one of her babies and wants to know where they're going and how they're doing in their new lives. This is the same relationship I'm looking for with my yorkie breeder
