I would like to put my side into this -
I LOVE TO GET UPDATES on my babies
I usually have between 12 to 20 babies a year that are placed with new "family "- Thats what I consider all new customers- just "Family" if they adopt my kids.
I have many that are on their 2 and 3 or even 4th Yorkie baby from me and I love each and every picture and email I get - even if I am loaded up with work as I am right now with 12 babies I try my best to reply to each email and if I don't hear from someone for a long time I try to contact them.
This is not to say that all stay in touch - sadly some I never hear from again after they get their baby - Those I will always wonder about - how they are and are they loved- its the hardest when you don't know.
What I am saying is to at least try to stay in touch with your breeder- if however you never receive a reply I can see why you would quit - but I think most of us really want to hear and some times get so busy that maybe they just don't take the time to write back - I would just ask if they want to keep hearing from you - just see if that makes them write
Anyway - to all those that have my babies - keep those emails and pictures coming - I love em.
