I do though have a waiting list that cost nothing and I use that for interested potential pet owners.(This also gives me time to check referrences on that person to pre-approve them. But as a breeder let me tell you what the woman is gambling on. First, if her dam takes (gets pregnant) Then on the size of the litter, the sexes of the pups, and if they all survive. Unless that is a bloodline you are looking for in specific look around for a female, maybe that is already born. I want you to think about the size of the female you are purchasing too. If your male is 6 pounds it would be in your best interest to find a 6 pound or larger female for him, unless you know that he throws small puppies. Otherwise you might have a c-section birth, and from experience those are no fun. Here is another suggestion, Stud you little man out for pick of the litter, now you have your girl at no cost to you. If you are considering on waiting for this woman to have this female for you, then why not wait for your own sired female? Good Luck in whatever you choose to do. Sue

Sue I agree with every thing you said. great info. This is exactly what me and my hubby are doing, to get are other female.
