Sugars Mom has a good point. A six or seven month old show dog as your first is really hard to find unless you know this breeder really well. I don't remember if she is close enough to watch progress but I hope so and see if she would go 16 weeks. That's not going to make alot of difference but when you are starting out you have to gamble once in awhile and your changes might be better this way and that way you might know if she is serious about you taking a prospect. It's six of one, half dozen of the other and I think the most important thing in all of it is having a breeder you know well and that doesn't happen over night. I could never in a million years pick out a puppy, they are all cute. Have you met her at the shows, if not make a point to do that as much as you can. |
